Tens of Millions Won for Car Accident Victims

Distracted driving is becoming in this generation what drunk driving once was—a leading cause of preventable highway fatalities. While drunk driving is still a serious danger, until recently the number of car accident fatalities was steadily declining. However, the NHTSA reports that last year saw the largest increase in highway deaths in over 50 years. In the first six months of 2016, 17,775 people died on the road in America—a ten percent increase from the same period in 2015.
The major difference for drivers? Experts say it’s the rise of the smartphone. The Centers for Disease Control believe that a conservative estimate for deaths from distracted driving is 10 per day. Multiple stories in the news recently center on people who killed others or were killed by using their phones while driving. Ten years ago, distracted driving meant texting or calling. Today, 77% of Americans have an entertainment center in their pockets—music, video, images, social media, and other mobile attractions that dominate our thoughts and take our minds off the wheel.
It’s killing us—and victims need an advocate.
