Some of the common causes of accidents in recent years include:
- The driver was distracted by a cell phone conversation
- The driver was distracted by text messaging or sending an e-mail
- The driver was distracted by an iPod or other portable music devices
- The driver was distracted by an on-board navigation system
The pattern in car accident causation that has occurred over the last few years is evident. With lifestyles that are much faster paced than they were in the past, as well as the amazing increase in new communication technologies, it is no wonder that car accidents, truck accidents, and other motor vehicle accidents occur as a result.
Being on the phone or sending a text message is no excuse for causing an accident. If a careless driver causes injuries to another driver because of distractions like cell phones and iPods, the responsible driver should be held liable for the injuries or wrongful death that resulted from the accident.
