What Some People Are Saying About Us

After losing their son, the Scherers created the Living for Logan Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to ending distracted driving. The organization has pushed for harsher penalties for distracted drivers in Florida, which became a reality this past year. Two statutes, Section 316.305 and Section 316.306, ban texting while driving and the use of handheld devices in school or work zones. It’s important to note that Section 316.305 isn’t limited to text messages. Drivers can also be issued citations for posting a tweet, sending a Facebook message, or even looking up the lyrics of the song they just heard on the radio. While Section 316.306 does not make it illegal to talk on your phone while driving, you can face a citation if you are not using a hands-free device while driving in a school or work zone. Both of these laws went into effect in 2019, but as of Jan. 1, 2020, law enforcement can now issue citations to drivers who break these laws. Failing to follow these laws can result in fines, court costs, and moving violations that will earn points against the driver’s license. These laws are seen as a step in the right direction, but the fight to end distracted driving in Florida isn’t over. “We want to see distracted driving recognized as socially irresponsible,” said Jordan Scherer in an interview with News Channel 8. Nothing can bring back Logan Scherer, but the Living for Logan Foundation will continue the fight to prevent other families from suffering the same avoidable loss.

“This office was so helpful and did so much for me and my family! They fought for us and made sure we had what we needed after the accident! They kept in touch with me throughout the entire case checking in on me! I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a personal injury attorney! Gerta is so amazing and will

explain everything to you!” – Jamie Lewis
