Texting and Driving Laws in California

San Diego texting and driving accidents A Californian law, Vehicle Code Section 23123.5, describes the fact that anyone who is driving a vehicle is not allowed to search the web, send or read a text message, send an email, or send or read an instant message. The law also states that a driver may not type an address into a GPS phone app either. Making sure that the driver is over 18, telephone calls may be made while using a hands-free device.

According to the research made by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, the average text message takes about 4 and 5 seconds to read. This means that if the driver is driving at 55 miles an hour, he will travel the length of a football field without ever looking at the road. These risks are astounding and there are many injuries that could potentially happen.

Recovering Damages Following An Accident

In 2013, an award of $930,000 ($680,000 verdict, plus $77,000 is lost wages and $316,000 in future damages) was given to a texting and driving accident victim by a California jury.
