Texting Driving

Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids Distracted Driving Accidents Attorney

Michigan Distracted Driving Accident Claims

The inventions of the smartphone and the portable tablet were significant technological achievements that advanced our ability to communicate and obtain information. Unfortunately, these inventions have also caused unwanted consequences, specifically distracting drivers while behind the wheel of a car, truck or other vehicle.

Distracted driving is a growing problem. Teenagers, adults and even the elderly send and receive text messages, check their email, update Facebook and check Twitter while on the road. These actions have resulted in thousands of serious, yet preventable car accidents throughout the U.S., many of them resulting in serious or fatal injuries.

At Willis Law, our attorneys have more than three decades of combined experience seeking justice for injury victims throughout Michigan. We have the resources of a large law firm, but provide the personalized representation you expect from a small office environment.

Take the first step in obtaining compensation by contacting our Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids lawyers online today. You may also call our firm toll free at (888) 461-7744 to speak with a member of our team.

Distracted Driving Statistics

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 600,000 drivers are currently using their cellphones or another electronic device at this very moment (assuming it is daytime). That is a staggering number, one that authorities have worked hard to decrease. Despite these efforts, however, this number has remained steady for the past five years.

Other disturbing facts include:

A driver's eyes are removed from the road for more than four seconds when sending or receiving a text message.
A driver is three times more likely to get into an accident when using a hand-held device while driving.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 1,000 people are injured each day in crashes involving a distracted driver.

Forms of Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is not limited to using cellphones or other mobile devices. Distracted driving includes any activity that diverts a driver's attention from the road.

This could include:

Eating or drinking
Applying makeup
Reading a map
Changing the radio station
Using a GPS device
Attending to children
Changing clothes (yes, people actually do this)
