NYC Hands-Free Phone Car Accident Attorneys
A distraction is commonly defined as any activity that pulls a driver's attention away from the road and surrounding cars for even an instant. Performing activities, such as changing a radio station, adjusting a mirror or talking to passengers, while you are driving can lead to serious accidents. Drivers attempt to mitigate these distractions by using hands-free phones. Unfortunately, talking on the phone is a documented cognitive distraction that can slow a driver's reaction times while operating a motor vehicle.
The University of Utah recently published a study that showed that people who drove while talking on the phone had their reaction times delayed as much as having a blood alcohol content of .08. It is interesting to note that the study did not make a significant distinction between using a hand-held phone versus a hands-free device. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to an accident caused by a distracted driver, contact our firm today.
