Penalties for Distracted Driving
The State of Washington takes distracted driving seriously. Information from the state’s Department of Licensing states that the police can ticket drivers just for holding a cell phone. Drivers can use hands-free devices but talking or texting while holding a phone comes with a $124.00 fine. If you must text or talk on the phone, pull over and find a safe place to park.Every accident is different, and the value of the damages changes depending on factors such as the extent of your injuries, your long-term prognosis, the severity of the property damage, and more. We can gather evidence to substantiate the value of your losses and help you seek favorable compensation from the at-fault driver and/or his insurance company.
