Hartford Car Accident Lawyer : Distracted Drivers Ruin Lives

Driving down the highway is not the time to multitask! In our technology driven fast paced world multitasking is considered the norm. Calling in a PeaPod order on the way to work, answering emails, scheduling doctors appointments are all tasks that if we can do them in the car, there will be one less thing to think about later in our day. While it may not seem like a bad driving habit to check email, talk on our handsfree phone, or listen to loud music, these and other distractions can cause a driver to swerve into another lane, rear-end a slower vehicle, drive off the road, or make other serious and potentially fatal mistakes.

Two recent Connecticut highway car crashes are being investigated for this reason. The most recent occured Saturday and involved numerous cars. A passenger in one of the vehicles suffered serious injuries and was taken by Lifestar to Hartford Hospital.

Connecticut laws have banned the use of hand-held devices (cell phones) for many drivers due to the high volume of car accidents they cause.
