Louisiana Distracted Driving Accidents
Texting and driving has been on the rise in recent years. There are more distractions on the roads than ever before with the growing use of smartphones and other mobile devices. Each year in the U.S., around 390,000 people are harmed in traffic accidents caused by someone texting behind the wheel.
When a motorist is distracted while operating a motor vehicle, he or she is more likely to be involved in a crash. Texting and driving often results in rear-end collisions, running through intersections, and other dangerous accidents. In some cases, victims are encouraged to call a skilled Louisiana car wreck attorney after a car crash.
