Put Down the Phone! Distracted Drivers Hurt People in Burleson
The ability to stay connected to our loved ones with cell phones, iPads and iPods has made life greater for Texans in many ways. We can call, text even video chat with anyone quite literally anywhere at any time. While advances in cell phone technology have made us more connected as a society, they've also caused great damage-especially when car accidents are caused by distracted drivers texting or talking on their cell phones. If you've ever been in a car wreck in Burleson caused by a driver who was on their cell phone, you know how it can make you feel: angry that they put their cell phone conversation above your safety. A Burleson distracted driving attorney, like those at the Anderson Law Firm, can help you after your wreck by holding the other driver and their insurance company responsible.
Is it illegal to text or talk on your cell phone while driving in Burleson?
It is legal to text or talk on a cellphone in Burleson, however, some restrictions apply. In Burleson, like any other city in Texas, the use of hand-held phones and texting in school zones is illegal. Young drivers in Burleson with a learners permit, or those who have had their license for less than 12 months are also banned from texting or talking on their hand-held cell phone while driving.
Even though approximately 15 people die every day in the United States because of accidents caused by texting while driving, Texas still has no state law banning the practice. At the Anderson Law Firm, our accident attorneys are passionate about stopping texting and driving - they've even created a program for high school students called Teens Against Distracted Driving to raise awareness. Our Burleson car accident lawyers specialize in distracted driving cases and will do everything in their power to see that justice is done in your case.
