Fatal Distraction: It Could Happen to You, a Texas Personal Injury Lawyer Warns
Distracted driving remains a serious threat to everyone on the highway, as the recent criminal conviction of a driver talking on a cell phone underscores, a Texas personal injury lawyer says.
"The consequences of distracted driving can have profound and devastating effects, as this sad case hammers home," said Jack Zinda, a founding partner of Heselmeyer Zinda, PLLC, a Texas personal injury law firm. "One life is lost, another ruined and their families and loved ones devastated."
In October, Jeri Dawn Montgomery was convicted by a Texas jury of criminally negligent homicide for causing a three-car crash that killed a 25-year-old man in March 2008, according to the Houston Chronicle. Montgomery was talking on a cell phone at the time of the accident, prosecutors said.
On Oct. 5, Montgomery was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 10 years probation and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine, according to the Chronicle article.
"Some people don't realize how dangerous it is to talk on a cell phone or send a text message while driving until it's too late and there is a fatal distraction," Zinda said. "Pull off the road in a safe spot if you need to talk on the phone in a car, or let someone else drive."
Across the nation, distracted driving is a growing threat to traffic safety. In 2008, 5,870 people died and another 515,000 people were injured in police-reported crashes in which driver distraction was listed as a cause, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The proportion of fatal accidents associated with distracted driving increased from 11 percent in 2004 to 16 percent in 2008, according to federal statistics.
The dangers of driving and talking on a cell phone or sending text messages have received attention with some states acting to ban certain activities while driving. Other secondary tasks such as eating, drinking and talking with passengers also can cause distractions.
A 2007 national survey found that 81 percent of people ages 16 and older have a wireless phone in the vehicle while they are driving. Of those with cell phones, 85 percent said they keep the phone on during all or most of their trips, and two-thirds usually answer incoming calls.
The age group with the greatest proportion of distracted drivers is the under-20 age group. Sixteen percent of drivers under 20 in fatal crashes were reported to have been distracted while driving.

Dozier Law Group, LLC Settles Atlanta Personal Injury Case for $475,000
Dozier Law Group, LLC (dozierlawgroup.com) has settled a premises liability personal injury case for $475,000 involving a fall at a national car wash company in Gwinnett County State Court. Dozier Law Group is an Atlanta law firm known for its Atlanta personal injury attorneys as well as its focus on business, commercial and employment law.
About the Personal Injury Case
The plaintiff worked for a company that supplied products to the car wash industry. During a service call to one of the defendant's car wash locations in metro Atlanta, the plaintiff fell between fiberglass flooring grates in the car wash tunnel, cutting and injuring his leg. Due to the chemicals and contaminants in the runoff water, a horrible infection developed which resulted in numerous painful medical procedures and permanent disfigurement.
The plaintiff filed suit against the car wash company, asserting that it unreasonably failed to provide a safe environment by having gaps in the fiberglass flooring grates which were not detectable. As a result, the plaintiff could not appreciate the hazard, fell between the flooring grates, and was seriously injured as a result of a dangerous condition that could have been easily remedied at minimal expense.
Premises liability claims occur when a visitor is injured after encountering an unsafe condition on a property. Premises liability claims can involve, for example, a slippery substance on the floor, a concealed hole or gap in a flooring surface, a railing or step that unexpectedly gives way, improperly stacked or secured merchandise that falls from shelving, or other hazardous conditions. But these aren't the only problems that can lead to a premises liability claim. Others include:
- Failure to warn about an unsafe condition
- Inadequate security in a high-risk business or neighborhood
- Assaults, shootings or other violent attacks by employees or third parties
- Inadequate or no fire suppression equipment
- Insufficient crowd control measures
- Balcony collapses
- Inadequate lighting
- Improperly maintained store fixtures
- Improperly maintained escalators and elevators
- Allowing unrepaired or unsafe equipment to be used
If you, a family member or a loved one have been injured as the result of another's carelessness or negligence, you probably have a number of questions and concerns. Contact the Atlanta personal injury lawyers of Dozier Law Group (dozierlawgroup.com) at (404) 9... to learn more about your legal rights or to discuss your particular situation. We encourage you not to delay speaking with counsel, as personal injury cases must be brought within the statute of limitations and can be lost forever if not pursued timely.

Toyota Apology & Recall Too Late For San Jose Father Of Five According To The Mann Law Firm And Franecke Law Group
The Mann Law Firm and The Franecke Law Group helped the family of Troy Edwin Johnson settle a claim against Toyota Motor Corporation this summer (Santa Clara County Superior Court Case #1-08-CV-110696) after Johnson was killed instantly and his body burned beyond recognition in July 2007 when his vehicle was struck by a Toyota Camry traveling out of control at approximately 120 miles per hour.
Toyota's largest-ever U.S. recall to address problems with a removable floor mat that could cause accelerators to get stuck and lead to a crash is too late for Johnson's family. "It is sad that Troy's children will grow up without a father due to a defective design with Toyota floor-mats", .said his wife Melodie Renee Bohuchot. "I lost my best friend, the children lost a father that really cared about and a father that really loved them and wanted to be a part of their lives ", said Bohuchot.
Attorneys Mohinder Mann and Gary Mann, The Mann Law Firm, along with Lou Franecke, Franecke Law Group, helped Bohuchot settle her lawsuit against Toyota for an amount not permitted to be revealed.
"Toyota was and must be held accountable for their design engineering mistakes", said Attorney Mohinder Mann. When an accident is caused by the defective design or manufacturing of a vehicle, the manufacturer can be held liable for damages to the injured party. "Toyota did the right thing by issuing the recall and apologizing for the needless deaths and suffering", said Franecke. "This accident points to the tragic consequences when defective cars are let loose on the streets", added Franecke.
Johnson was killed when in a fiery accident on July 26, 2007 along Interstate 280 at Race Street in San Jose. Initial CHP reports indicated that excessive speed and dangerous driving, including passing in the center divider, may have been the cause of the accident. On further investigation, the CHP found that the Camry's floor mat could possibly jam the gas pedal down, causing the car to speed forward. Investigators found evidence that the driver had indeed tried to slow down the car, but had failed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation in March 2007, four months before Troy's accident, after receiving five complaints from owners of the 2007 Lexus ES 350 about unintended acceleration. The agency's investigation in 2007 made it clear the automaker had a problem with the design of the accelerator pedal and the all-weather, rubber floor mats that were an option.
About Attorney Louis Franecke
Attorney Louis Franecke specializes in product liability cases involving airplane and vehicles. In his more than 35 years in practice, Franecke has been involved in numerous high profile national cases including the early Corvair rollover cases.
About The Mann Law Firm
The Mann Law Firm has been serving their clients for over 30 years with their extensive litigation experience. Over the years, the firm has helped their clients recover millions of dollars for cases ranging from injuries suffered in car collisions to manufacturing and design defects against automakers to dangerous conditions caused by public entities.
