Connecticut Car Accident Attorneys in Danbury, Bridgeport, and Other Locations
As our society has become more technology dependent it is easier than ever to multi-task. While this is fine at home or at the office, it can be dangerous when driving a motor vehicle. When a person causes an accident because he or she was distracted while on a cellphone, that person is negligent. At Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, our Connecticut car accident lawyers in Danbury, Bridgeport, and other locations fight for personal injury compensation for victims of accidents caused by cellphone use.
Cellphone Use While Driving Is Dangerous
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely as other drivers to get into a crash serious enough to cause an injury. Other studies have shown that using a cellphone while driving delays reaction times as much as driving drunk. Our Danbury personal injury attorneys understand the dangers of cellphone use behind the wheel and we work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers responsible for their actions.
We provide zealous representation for victims and their family members in all types of cases involving cellphones and car accidents, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle, pedestrian, and motorcycle accidents
- Accidents that result in catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death claims
Even When Legal, There May Still Be Liability
In Connecticut it is illegal to text or talk on a hand-held device while driving. Use of a hands-free headset is legal, but this can still lead to inattentive driving, which results in an accident caused by negligence. The lawyers at Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, will seek compensation from negligent drivers even if what they were doing was technically legal. If you or a loved one has been in a car accident caused by a driver on a cellphone, it is important that you speak with us right away so we can start building your case.
