Representing Victims of Accidents Caused by Texting While Driving in Albany, Syracuse and Upstate New York
There is ample scientific evidence that indicates using a cell phone while driving, and particularly texting while driving, is extremely dangerous and is a frequent cause of car accidents. In fact, texting is the highest risk activity involving cell phones and driving.
A study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that the risk of a crash or near-crash situation was more than 23 times higher for truck drivers who were texting than for non-distracted drivers. This can easily mean the difference between life and death on busy Albany city streets or high-speed roadways, such as I-787, I-90 and I-87, or highways such as 9, 32, 20, 5 and 85.
