Texting While Driving Accidents in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Smartphones have made our lives infinitely easier and allowed us to stay in constant communication with one another. Sadly, on the roads of South Florida, much of that communication takes place while people should be focused on something else—their driving.

Texting while driving is illegal in Florida, but that does not stop drivers from doing it. Just glance around on I-95. It is downright scary the number of drivers doing 80 miles per hour or more while holding a phone in front of their faces.

Predictably, many of these texting while driving motorists cause accidents, many of which lead to severe, life-changing injuries. The victims deserve compensation, and a texting while driving accident lawyer in Fort Lauderdale, FL, from Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can help you get it if you are among these victims. First, we have to demonstrate that the driver was indeed texting or operating a portable electronic device behind the wheel. We will collect evidence to prove this is the case. The evidence we might use includes:

• Records from the driver’s cell phone company
• Photo or video evidence
• Statements from eyewitnesses
• Police reports
• Evidence from the phone or device itself

Regardless of how the accident occurred, with this evidence, we can make a case against the driver that their texting or phone use caused or contributed to the collision. After all, if they had been 100% focused on the road and not their device, it stands to reason they would have been in a better position to avoid the accident.

We have helped clients win compensation for a number of different car accident scenarios, all involving drivers who were texting or using a portable electronic device behind the wheel.

Rear-End Collisions

Texting is often a factor in rear-end collisions. The back driver is too busy looking at their phone to notice the brake lights brightening in front of them, and by the time they realize traffic is stopping, it is too late.

Sideswipe Collisions

When drivers stare at their phones instead of paying attention to the road, they often drift out of their lane. By the time they realize what is happening, it can be too late, especially in heavy traffic when the vehicle they are drifting into has nowhere to go to elude the impending collision.

Head-On Collisions

Texting while driving is strongly associated with the most dangerous of all car accidents, the head-on collision. It happens for the same reason as sideswipe accidents: the distracted driver drifts out of their lane and into oncoming traffic.

Side-Impact Collisions

When a texting driver misses a red light or a stop sign, a side-impact collision often results. Making the situation worse, the occupants of the vehicle they hit often suffer much worse injuries than the at-fault driver, due to the positioning of the vehicles.

Shared-Fault Accidents

If you were told that the accident was partly your fault, you might still be eligible to recover compensation from the other driver, especially if we can show that they were texting or otherwise distracted at the time of the collision.

Florida is a comparative fault state. That means you can recover some or all of your damages from the other driver, even if the accident was partly your fault. Never assume that you are ineligible to pursue the other driver and their insurer for compensation. Always speak with a lawyer about your options.
