Today’s drivers are more distracted by technology than ever before. Who knew that looking down to send a quick text message or following up on a new “like” from social media while driving can cause a serious car accident? If you’ve been in a technology-related car accident, contact a certified car accident attorney at The Law Offices of Robert J. DeBry & Associates.

How Technology Has Impacted Driving

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, teen drivers are at an even higher risk of having a car accident than adults. Technology easily distracts teen drivers on and off the roads. The combination of driving while texting and driving while surfing the web often has disastrous results.

A New York Times report says that “cell phone use is the number one cause of driver distraction.” This confirms some of the negative effects technology has on driving.

In the same report, the Times states that distracted driving caused over 3,000 deaths in 2017. Almost every person you know owns a cell phone. This means there is a greater potential for more car accidents and more accidental deaths because of distracted driving.
