Is it possible to prove the driver who caused the accident was texting or distracted by cell phone use?  The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has warned the use of a cell phone and/or texting while driving is much more dangerous than driving under the influence. In Kentucky, texting while driving is illegal.

Statistics captured in national studies as well as data provided by the Kentucky State Police clearly demonstrates texting or using a cell phone while driving is dangerous and often results in serious injury car accidents.  Here in Kentucky, texting and driving or distracted driving due to cell phone use is a negligent act. If the driver who caused the accident was texting or distracted by cell phone use the attorneys at HLH can and will hold them financially accountable for your injuries and all expenses associated with the accident and your recovery.
