Cell Phone Accidents
A person’s life can completely change in the seconds another driver takes his or her eyes off of the road to send a text or make a call while driving. The National Safety Council reports that one out of every four car accidents in the United States is caused by texting while driving.
So, what happens if someone grabs their cell phone and hits you or a member of your family?
As a victim of distracted driving, you have rights to compensation. Text messaging while behind the wheel is now against the law for all drivers in South Dakota. The offense carries a fine of $100, but is under secondary enforcement, which means that to issue a citation for texting an officer will need to see a second violation.
