Everyone has been driving and spotted another driving texting or heavily involved in a cell phone conversation. Young drivers seem particularly prone to doing this. Their phones seem to be an indispensable extension of their hands. At school, they had probably been shown at least one video of a gory accident caused by a texting driver, but they didn’t believe it would ever happen to them. Multi-tasking is who they are and what they do. Driving and texting is no big deal. Yet while they are wrapped in the mantle of youthful invincibility, they swerve into the path of an oncoming car.
The driver of the other car was on her way home from work, anxious to find out how her son did in his test at school. She saw the car coming toward her, but it was just another car until suddenly it swerved and headed right at her. She tried to evade, but it was too late. If she’s lucky, she’ll wake up in the hospital. This family is going to need a lot of help in the years to come.
The right lawyer can provide the experience and understanding that a family needs while deciding on the best course of action. The effects of someone’s momentary thoughtlessness will last for years. Nothing can reverse time to the moments before the accident and somehow make it not happen, but dealing with the consequences can be made a little easier. It’s illegal to text and drive in Pennsylvania, but far too many people still do it. Driving and texting is not like drinking a soda and texting; driving requires someone’s full attention.
