Rockport Texting and Trucking

We have all heard of or know someone who has been affected by an accident that was caused by a driver who was texting. In 2011 there were 3,092 fatalities caused by distracted driving according to the National Traffic and Safety administration. The lawyers at Carabin Shaw have noticed a more-specific iteration of this phenomenon occurring with greater and greater frequency as the years go by: Rockport texting and trucking. As disaster relief from natural phenomenon becomes increasingly necessary along the Rockport coastline, truckers are hauling ballast and repair materials along Highway 35 more often. Unfortunately, their distraction means huge amounts of damage for Rockport residents.

Distracted driving is any activity that can divert a person's attention away from their primary task, i.e. driving. Distracted behavior endangers the driver, passengers, and bystanders and often results in accidents that cause bodily injury. Drivers have always had to deal with distractions, but texting is considered one of the most alarming distractions of the anthropocene age because it requires simultaneous visual, manual, and cognitive attention.

As a result, Rockport has passed legislation that directly bans handheld devices and texting while driving. Unfortunately, drivers do not always adhere to the law, which is why Carabin Shaw has a dedicated Rockport texting while driving attorney on staff to help families through this difficult and unexpected circumstance.

Rockport 18 wheeler accidents can wreak extensive amounts of property damage and personal injury to those unfortunate enough to be caught in their path. Historically, accidents caused by truck drivers often cause more severe injuries that accidents caused by passenger vehicles. This is due to the vast difference in size between a semi truck and an average sedan and the compounded effect of momentum physics at play for a vehicle weighing in excess of three tons.
