HAVE YOU BEEN HURT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER?
MASSACHUSETTS LAW HAS YOUR BACK
Car accident rates in the U.S. are climbing, and some experts say smart phones are to blame. Distracted driving has always been a problem on the roads; before our lives fit into our pockets, people fiddling with their radios, applying makeup, or snacking while driving caused plenty of accidents. But it’s a much bigger issue now that email alerts and text messages are constantly tempting us to look down and take our hands off the wheel. To combat the distracted driving problem, states like Massachusetts put laws into place that penalize texting and driving. In 2010, Massachusetts banned drivers from using mobile phones and other electronic devices to read, write, or send messages from their cars (unless they’re parked or on private roadways). Massachusetts also prohibits drivers under 18 from using phones at all, except in emergencies, even if they’re set up to be hands-free. These laws don’t automatically mean that a distracted driver is liable if they’re in a car crash, but they do make it much easier to prove negligence. If you end up in a car accident
and the other driver seemed distracted, then witness statements, cellphone records, and video recordings of the crash can help prove negligence by showing they were on their phone and driving dangerously. If you’ve been injured in an accident that likely included this behavior, it’s time to speak to an attorney about your options. Our experienced team understands the struggles of recovering from a crash, and we’ll fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Call us today at 508-775-9099 for a free consultation.
