Orlando Distracted Driver Accident Attorney
Pursuing Justice on Your Behalf
Distracted driving is second only to drunk driving in what are the most dangerous driving conditions possible. Not only do distracted drivers put themselves at risk, they are risking the lives of everyone else on the road. Unfortunately, many people feel the small act of checking your email or grabbing something from the backseat isn’t a cause of danger–despite overwhelming evidence proving otherwise.
Legal Update: In May 2019, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill making
texting while driving a primary offense in Florida. The new law took effect on July 1, 2019, and law enforcement will be able to cite and fine motorists beginning January 1, 2020.
