How to Prove Cellphone Use Caused an Accident

Perhaps the driver who caused the accident admitted to using a cellphone at the time of the accident and that information is in the accident report. Perhaps there is no indication of cellphone use at all, until we conduct our investigation.

We conduct a thorough investigation of every motor vehicle accident case. That investigation may involve obtaining the negligent driver's cellphone records. If those records reveal that a cellphone was used at the time of the accident, we will use that detail to strengthen our case.

More Than Just Carelessness

While using a cellphone while driving is not currently illegal in Florida, there is currently legislation that may make it so. Of course, it is generally recognized that cellphone use behind the wheel is dangerous. This is more than just an act of carelessness. This is someone disregarding the safety of others. These drivers should be held accountable.
