There is absolutely no excuse for any truck driver to use a cell phone while driving. Drivers who do this and trucking companies that condone it are ignoring their legal and moral responsibility to prevent severe, potentially fatal trucking accidents.

At The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C., our New York truck accident lawyers pursue personal injury and wrongful death claims against negligent truckers and trucking companies. Our lead attorney, David Perecman, has been practicing law in New York for more than 30 years.

Based in Manhattan, we represent clients in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island and Westchester. To schedule a free consultation, don't hesitate to contact us today.

Was the Driver Who Hit You Talking on a Cell Phone?

There is no question that cell phone use by truck drivers is extremely dangerous. There are statistics to support this, and many states have outright banned drivers from using cell phones. At our firm, we have seen the tragic results of accidents caused by distracted driving.

Our attorneys are dedicated to holding truck drivers accountable for accidents that happened because they gave their attention to their cell phones rather than their driving.

If you hire us to handle your case, where needed, we will take the steps to obtain the driver's cell phone records to see whether he or she was talking or texting at the time of your accident. That information may prove crucial toward helping you get fair compensation for your injuries.

Was Texting While Driving a Factor in Your Accident?

One particularly dangerous type of cell phone use is texting while driving. Due to a regulation that was adopted at the beginning of 2010, it is illegal for anyone driving a truck regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation to read or send text messages while behind the wheel.

Attorney David Perecman and the other dedicated personal injury lawyers at our firm will fight passionately to help you get fair money damages for your truck accident injuries. Let us put our experience and passion to work for you.
