McKinney Distracted Driving Accident Attorney

Helping Victims of Distracted Driving Accidents in McKinney and the Surrounding Areas

Drivers who fail to focus on the road while behind the wheel are putting themselves and others at risk. In fact, research shows that driving while distracted is just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. Unfortunately, many drivers still choose to put other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians in harm's way by trying to multitask behind the wheel.

At Honest Injury - The Willingham Law Firm, PC, we believe that distracted driving accidents should not happen. Those who were injured or killed in a crash involving a distracted driver may be eligible for compensation.

Our McKinney distracted driving lawyers at Honest Injury are dedicated to helping victims of all types of accidents recover the compensation they need to move forward with their lives.

We encourage you to reach out to our team today for a consultation.

What Is Considered "Distracted Driving"?

In the Lone Star State, distracted driving encompasses any activity diverting a driver's attention from the crucial task of driving. Whether it's texting, talking on the phone, eating, or using in-car entertainment systems, these distractions pose serious risks, leading to accidents, injuries, and tragic consequences.

Texas Distracted Driving Laws

In Texas, it is illegal for drivers to read, write, or send electronic messages while driving. The law, enacted in 2017, aims to reduce accidents caused by distractions like texting. Violation of this law can result in fines, and if a distracted driver causes an accident, they may be held liable for damages.

• Texting Ban: All drivers are prohibited from sending or reading text messages while driving.

• Handheld Device Ban for Young Drivers: Drivers under 18 cannot use handheld devices while driving.

• School Zone Ban: Using handheld devices is prohibited in active school zones, unless the vehicle is stopped or a hands-free device is used.
