Texting While Driving Is Illegal In Texas

We all have had a moment where we took our eyes off the road. Whether changing the song on the radio or reaching to grab something, just a split second of inattention can cause a devastating accident. Under Texas law, it is illegal to send text messages or use your phone while driving. This law makes a range of other activities such as emailing, posting to social media and checking game scores illegal to do behind the wheel.

Offenders will be charged with a misdemeanor and face moderate court fees. This is as it should be. Roughly one out of every four auto accidents is caused by distracted driving. This leads to hundreds of thousands of injuries and thousands of deaths. Texting drivers are six times more likely to get into an accident than drunk drivers. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a collision with a distracted driver, our attorneys at Kyle Law Firm can help. It’s important to hold the responsible party accountable; our lawyers have more than 60 combined years of experience doing exactly that. Based in New Braunfels and serving clients throughout the region, our team is always prepared to provide top-quality legal assistance.

Helping You Get The Compensation You Need

Our lawyers have earned substantial financial settlements on behalf of our clients. In every case, our goal is to win clients the compensation they need. While no settlement or monetary award can undo the effects of an accident, financial restitution can help you get your life back on track.

Our attorneys can help you pursue compensation for a full range of concerns, including:

  • Hospital bills
  • Doctor fees
  • Prescription costs
  • The costs of ongoing care
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages

Insurance companies are quick to challenge victims’ claims, seeking to pay as little as possible or deny claims outright. Our attorneys know how to fight back and obtain the compensation that our clients are due. Our team includes Texas board-certified attorneys who know the ins and outs of personal injury claims. Whether your case is settled inside the courtroom or out of it, you can rely on our experience and knowledge.
