Distracted driving cases — particularly those involving cell phone use — require specific investigation techniques and legal strategies. Here are the seven qualities to look for in a distracted driving lawyer.
1. Cell Phone Record Investigation Skills
Proving distracted driving requires subpoenaing phone records at the time of the accident. An experienced attorney knows exactly how to get and use this evidence.
2. Accident Reconstruction Capability
Physical evidence and vehicle data can corroborate or contradict claims about distraction. Expert accident reconstructionists help establish what happened.
3. Knowledge of Texas Distracted Driving Laws
Texas Transportation Code §545.4251 prohibits hand-held device use while driving. Violations create strong negligence per se arguments.
4-7. Additional Key Qualities
Also essential: trial readiness, insurance negotiation experience, direct attorney access, and contingency fee representation. CDF Law meets every standard. Call (832) 945-1900.
