The other driver was on the phone when they hit me. How do I get a copy of their phone records to prove this?

Texting or talking while driving in the state of Texas can be just as dangerous as drinking and driving. The personal injury attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth have handled many cases where people have been hit by a drunk driver. It's easy to prove liability in these cases because the drunk driver can just take a breathalyzer test! But if you've been hit by a person talking or texting on their phone, it can be a lot more difficult to prove that's what caused the car accident.

Unfortunately, Texas has pretty lax laws on cell phones and driving. Unless you're in a school zone or under 18, it's currently legal to talk or text anywhere on the road. We all know cell phones cause DFW car wrecks, but how do you prove it?

Getting the Other Driver's Phone Records

Access to the other driver's phone records can help prove liability in your car accident case. However, getting the other drivers phone bill can be time consuming. If no lawsuit is filed, then there is no legal way for you to obtain these records. You must first file a lawsuit and then subpoena the phone company for the records. Although it will take time, it is very beneficial to obtain the other driver's phone records in cases where there is a question of fault. In Texas, having the proof the other driver was on the phone at the time of the accident can help your personal injury claim.

If you need help proving a driver talking on their cellphone caused your DFW car wreck, call one of the lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm.
