Car Accidents Involving Cell Phones
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 33,963 people are killed in auto accidents in 2009 and thousands upon thousands more were injured. The National Safety Council says that cell phones are a factor in 23% of all auto car crashes every year.
In New Hampshire, including the greater Nashua areal, it is illegal to text message while driving and for novice drivers and bus drivers to talk on the phone while driving. While New Hampshire’s government does what it can to keep the public safe with law enforcement, sometimes cell phone driving laws are broken. When the laws are broken, the consequences can be severe.
If you have been injured in a car accident involving another driver’s cell phone use in New Hampshire, you may be entitled to legal compensation for your injuries on the basis of negligence. Cell phone accidents can be avoided and those that break the cell phone laws commit negligence when they decide to put others at risk by texting or talking on the phone when they shouldn’t.
