Car Accidents and Driving
Published on 02/11/08 03:21PM by Bruce A. Bierhans"My car got hit in the rear end and the other driver was on a cell phone."
Sound familiar? An all to familiar refrain these days. Cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, GPS devices and video players...all competing for the drivers attention. In fact, lawyers, during discovery proceedings, now routinely ask for the bills associated with all these devices from the alleged at fault operator. Evidence that an operator may have been distracted by a mobile device can go a long way towards convincing an insurance adjuster or jury that another party was clearly at fault in a collision.
If you are physically able, after an accident, to make observations regarding these devices, it could be a big help to your attorney.
