If
you are injured in an auto accident that wasn’t your fault, and the other
driver was using their cell phone at the time, evidence of that driver’s phone
use can be used to hold them and their insurance company accountable for all damages.
However, if you are the injured plaintiff in the case and the defendant is able
to produces evidence that you were
using your cell phone at the time of
the accident, you could be held contributory to the accident and will not be
awarded any compensation. Most states have laws in place that forbid cell phone
use while in the car. Don’t risk being held partially liable in an accident- put
the cell phone down while driving. If you’ve been injured in a Maryland car
accident, call Portner & Shure today.
