Legal Website Launches Section on Auto Accidents Caused by Distraction

Your Legal Guide, one of the leading online resources for consumer legal information, announced today the launch of three articles devoted to accidents caused by distracted drivers, including information on legal options available to the victims of these accidents. The articles focus on accidents caused by driving while texting or talking on a cell phone, both of which cause thousands of accidents, injuries and deaths each year. Driving while distracted (DWD) accounts for nearly 80 percent of all motor vehicle accidents and 65 percent of near accidents on American roadways.

The first of Your Legal Guide's new articles discusses driving while texting (DWT), a growing problem that some studies have shown to be more dangerous than driving with a blood alcohol content of .08, the legal limit in most states. Another article touches on the similarly dangerous practice of driving while talking, or "yakking" (DWY), while a third sheds light on all forms of distracted driving behavior.

"With all the deaths and injuries caused by distracted driving, we can no longer afford to ignore the problem," said Tamara Evans, publisher of Your Legal Guide. "We hope this information is helpful to the victims of these accidents, as well as their families."

Your Legal Guide features a wealth of additional information for victims of motor vehicle accidents, as well as articles discussing the services provided by lawyers, including personal injury lawyers. Other sections include family law, consumer fraud and wrongful death. To learn more about these and other pertinent legal topics, visit YourLegalGuide.com.
