Texting Increases Risk Of Auto Accidents

This seems like an overly obvious statement. We have a client who was rear-ended by a teenager texting as she came up to a red light. In a case like this, liability should be clear where there is evidence that the negligent party was texting or for that matter doing anything that may have contributed to the accident. A good attorney will be able to identify causes that will most effectively attach liability on the other party. A good insurance company, though, will know how to protect their interests as well, so sign nothing or make no agreements until you've spoken to an attorney.
