Distracted driving has always been a major factor contributing to car accidents. The rise in smartphones has created a brand new distraction: texting while driving. Texting-while-driving accidents are becoming all too common. Studies show that texting creates an even greater level of distraction for drivers than drunk driving.
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident or car accident because another person was texting while driving, you should contact a St. Louis, MO car accident attorney to see if you are eligible for compensation.
In the state of Missouri, texting while driving is only illegal for novice drivers (drivers aged 21 and under). In addition, if a texting driver hits you, that driver may be required to pay punitive damages if you file a personal injury claim.
