Car Accident Attorneys Busy With Cell Phone and Texting Cases

In recent years there has been an increase in traffic accidents due to use of cell phones and text messages so that the authorities concerned, there is a widely-end phone use while behind the wheel. Since January 2009, it is illegal for drivers to use Oregon handheld devices.

But lawmakers are not the only ones who take action on these alarming times distracted drivers. Companies that offer company cars to employees being made aware that their employees can not use handheld devices while driving. The responsibility is great.

"The average claim costs of $ 100,000 - which could be a workers compensation claim, there may be injuries of others," says Jeff Chilcott, a consultant senior engineering risk of Zurich North America, which provides insurance for fleets of company. He points out that the cell phone-related crashes cost $ 43 billion a year.

Despite laws restricting drivers and handheld devices, are often ignored, especially by teenagers. This prevents the car accident lawyers in Portland and other cities, very busy. It may be good for business, but bad for public health.

Although data regarding the text messages and cell phone use while driving was once the best of the lazy, the crisis has called for greater attention to the issue. And the effects of using handheld devices while driving are staggering.

For example, using a cell phone, even if you are using a Bluetooth connection, slows reaction time than the average 70-year-old driver. Here are a select group of the most alarming statistics:

- In 2008, more than 800,000 vehicles driven by someone using a handheld device at any time during the day.

- About 25 percent of car accidents are caused by a driver using a cell phone.

- When you are in the act of dialing a cell phone, which is almost three times more likely to have a car accident.

- While drunk driving is an unfortunate affliction in our society, it would be difficult to find someone who has admitted he's doing on purpose. However, we use the handheld devices all the time ready. Why the connection? Statistics show that texting while driving is about six times more likely to cause a traffic accident as driving drunk.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a car accident, a traffic accident lawyer in Portland is there to help. It is important to act sooner rather than later, as the case may be the only option to recover damages for pain, suffering and lost wages, among other potentially recoverable damages that may not be aware of.

But if you have not been involved in an accident related to the distraction of a handheld device, consider some more facts: not only thousands of Oregon drivers get seriously injured or die due to the use of cell phones and text messages. Many of these people are innocent passengers. Worse, many of the innocent passengers are children. Think about that the next time you feel the urgent need to respond to the text of a friend trivial.

NO Injury Law Center was created to focus exclusively on representing injured consumers. Everyone who works in the company is highly trained and very knowledgeable about personal injury and insurance.
