Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents in Lexington County. If you believe the other driver was texting or using their phone at the time of the crash, your attorney can subpoena their cell phone records to show whether the driver was sending or receiving messages at the moment of impact. Dashcam footage, witness testimony, and the driver’s own admissions can also be used. South Carolina law prohibits the use of handheld wireless devices while driving. Proving distracted driving strengthens your negligence claim and can significantly increase your likelihood of a strong settlement or favorable verdict.
