Texting and Driving

KNOXVILLE,TN TEXTING AND DRIVING ATTORNEYS

Texting while driving a car is reckless and dangerous and this act can lead to car wrecks, truck wrecks, and other sorts of accidents.

In 2010, Tennessee made texting while operating a car illegal. The law says that drivers cannot text or email while operating their motor vehicle. Drivers are also not allowed to read or search the web. This ban includes mobile phones, tablets, and laptop computers. It is important to remember that this law includes drivers who are stopped at traffic lights… even this is against the law.

If a driver causes a car wreck or truck accident while they are texting or playing on their phone, they may also face criminal negligence charges in Tennessee. If that car wreck leads to property damage or injury, the driver might be found liable and be forced to pay compensation. In the terrible event of a death resulting from a driving texting while driving, they may be sued for a wrongful death.
