The Growing Danger of Texting and Driving Accidents
Texting and driving has become one of the most prevalent and dangerous forms of distracted driving on our roads. As smartphone use continues to rise, so does the number of accidents caused by drivers who choose to text behind the wheel. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting while driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than driving under the influence.
When a driver sends or reads a text, their eyes are off the road for an average of five seconds. At highway speeds, that’s like traveling the length of a football field blindfolded. These few seconds of distraction can have devastating consequences, leading to rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and even fatal accidents.
At Cantor Injury Law, we are committed to holding texting drivers accountable and fighting for justice on behalf of those impacted by their negligence.
