Stop Texting & Driving Video Scholarship

The Texting and Driving Statistics Are Staggering

  • Drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident if they are texting while driving. – Virginia Tech
  • One-third of drivers in the United States reported that they had read or sent text messages or emails while driving. – CDC

The truth is that there are a growing number of statistics, studies and reports that connect texting while driving to needless car crashes. Our firm has decided to make a stand against texting and driving by raising the stakes in our texting and driving cases to pursue punitive damages.

We want to take that fight one step further and announce a project aimed at the young people who are most often involved in these incidents. The growing number of teens involved in life altering accidents with such a solvable cause is heart-breaking.
