We Speak for the Injured. We Speak for Their Families.Personal Injury Law FirmCell Phone Use Contributing to Motor Vehicle Accidents Cell phones have become part of the broad landscape of our everyday lives. We all have them. We all use them. We depend upon them for use in an emergency, for keeping us in touch with family, friends and business clients and to make us available instantly to anyone wanting to have a simple conversation. Cell phones allow us to be accessible anytime, anywhere even in the car. Simply stated, driving a motor vehicle and talking on a cell phone puts us and others at risk. It’s difficult to determine the full impact of cell phones on motor vehicle accidents since law enforcement officers at the scene of an accident do not always ask whether or not the driver was on the phone at the time the accident occurred. However, evidence is available showing cell phone use while driving as being a viable and increasing cause of motor vehicle accidents. Statistics nationwide for cell phone use at the time of an accident are reportedly as high as ten percent. Representing individuals injured in a cell phone related traffic accident is a growing area of personal injury law. The attorneys at J. Stanford Morse, P.A. are prepared to represent your interests in obtaining awards for damages and personal injury due to cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle. Currently there are no laws in the state of Florida hands free cell phones or prohibiting speaking on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle.
