Columbia Texting and Driving Accident Attorney

The prevalence of texting while driving has brought a new level of attention to the dangers of driver distraction. Numerous studies and reports have drawn parallels to drunk driving, and one horrific I-44 crash in Missouri was cited by the National Transportation Safety Board in its push for a nationwide ban on cellphone use behind the wheel.

If you have reason to believe your serious auto accident was caused by a texting driver, you need a dedicated, resourceful lawyer on your side. At the accomplished personal injury law firm Bley & Evans, LC, your case will receive the focused attention it deserves, including an all-out effort to prove serious negligence was involved.
