Cell Phone Accident Lawyer in Ann Arbor, MI

Cell Phone Accident Overview

Drivers Who Cause Accidents While Talking on Cellphones
and the Michigan Attorneys Who Victims Can Rely on for Help

Using a cellphone, texting, eating or even just fiddling with the stereo while you're behind the wheel of a car is dangerous. In fact, these behaviors are responsible for thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of serious injuries each year. One study, conducted by researchers at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, estimated that drivers who use handheld cellphone devices are four times as likely to get into crashes that are serious enough to injure themselves or others.

For more than 25 years, attorneys at the law firm of Bredell & Bredell have been helping accident victims statewide to obtain compensation for serious injuries and other losses they've suffered due to the negligence of other drivers. While the cellphone accident problem hasn't been a big problem for quite that long, we have handled a number of cases involving cellphone use by at-fault drivers and are confident in our ability to help you recover, too.

Where the Accident Occurred Can Make a Difference

Several Michigan cities have enacted laws that either ban or restrict drivers from using their cellphones while driving. For example, if you are driving within the city limits of Troy and use a cellphone, you can get a ticket. Likewise, in the city of Detroit, drivers may only use hands-free cellphones. As with most traffic laws, some areas are more strict about enforcement than others.

Regardless of whether a car accident occurs in a community that prohibits cellphone use while driving or not, the simple fact that a driver was on a cellphone at the time or just before an accident occurred provides compelling evidence of negligence, which we can use to make the case for maximum recovery on your behalf. Our knowledge of local cellphone laws in the state of Michigan is another asset that has proven very beneficial in these cases.
