Cell Phone Car Accident Lawyer
Have you been involved in a St. Louis car accident that happened as a result of the other driver talking on a cell phone while driving? It is currently estimated that 7% of all car accidents in the United States involve cellular phone usage on the road. Today there are more drivers on the road than ever before, and the number of cell phone users continue to increase rapidly. A study done at Harvard showed that over the last five years, the number of cellular phone users has risen from 93 million to 129 million. With so many people driving and using cell phones, the two are bound to combine with disastrous results.
Many states are implementing laws that make it illegal to use a cell phone while driving unless a ‘hands-free’ device is used. In St. Louis, we are still waiting for cell phone/driving laws to be passed. In the mean time, a cell phone-related car accident continues to injure and kill people. Todd N.
