Establishing Liability
Cell phone records, app usage data, and in vehicle infotainment system logs can prove a driver was distracted at the time of the crash. Witness testimony about the driver looking down or not braking before impact provides additional evidence of inattention. Distracted driving cases are strong liability cases because the driver made a conscious choice to divert attention from the road, demonstrating clear negligence.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Transportation Code Section 545.4251 prohibits reading, writing, or sending electronic messages while operating a motor vehicle, making texting while driving illegal statewide. Some Texas municipalities have passed additional ordinances banning all handheld cell phone use while driving. A violation of the state texting ban constitutes negligence per se, eliminating the need to prove a separate standard of care in the civil case.
