Understanding Texting While Driving Accidents in Georgia
Texting while driving involves any activity that diverts attention from the road: reading, writing, or sending messages while behind the wheel. Even at 55 mph, a driver can travel the length of a football field while distracted, effectively driving blindfolded.
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-241.2):
- Drivers 18+ or with a Class C license cannot write, read, or send text messages while driving.
- Hands-free voice-to-text is allowed.
- Exceptions exist for emergency reporting of accidents or other urgent situations.
If a driver was texting and caused your accident, you may be able to recover damages through a personal injury claim. Violating the texting law can help establish negligence per se, making it easier to hold the driver accountable.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
A skilled attorney can help you recover for:
- Medical Expenses: Emergency care, surgeries, therapy, medications, and ongoing treatment.
- Lost Income: Wages, commissions, freelance work, and diminished earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Emotional distress, trauma, disfigurement, and diminished quality of life.
- Property Damage: Vehicle repairs or loss of value caused by the accident.
Proving a Texting While Driving Accident
Texting while driving cases often require careful evidence collection, including:
- Cell phone records confirming use during the accident.
- Witness statements from passengers or nearby drivers.
- Police and traffic camera footage.
- Accident reconstruction experts for complex crashes.
Because Georgia follows modified comparative negligence, insurance companies may try to shift blame onto you. Our attorneys protect your rights and ensure that all liable parties are held accountable.
Act Quickly – Georgia Statute of Limitations
In Georgia, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Starting early helps preserve evidence and witness testimony. At Van Sant Law, we guide clients through filing deadlines and case preparation so nothing is missed.
Texting while driving accidents can be devastating, but you don’t have to face it alone. Van Sant Law combines trial-ready advocacy, insurance insight, and personal attention to maximize your recovery.
