Of course, social media is good. Texting connects you with the World. It gives you more social presence. However, did you know that texting and social media can lead to car accidents? When not done right, texting and social media can increase the chances of causing car accidents. This means that social media doesn’t go together with driving. Avoid texting while driving. On the same lines, here is all you need to know regarding social media and car accidents.

Effects of Social Media

Don’t chat on social media while driving. It can be very dangerous. Plus, the use of social media after a car accident can jeopardize your accident claim. Avoid posting images of your car or injuries after the accident. The at-fault party can use these posts to prove that you didn’t suffer much from the accident. They might argue that you were strong enough to take photos after the accident.  

So, try to remain as private as possible. You should only reveal sensitive information to your attorney, not anyone else. If the insurance adjuster asks you about sensitive information, don’t talk to them without the presence of your attorney. In fact, it’s better to let your attorney deal with the insurance company. He or she has the required expertise to handle insurance adjusters and negotiate a better settlement. Plus, they’re highly experienced in handling such cases.

Mobile Phone Use

Smartphones have made life easier. They’ve made it possible for people to stay connected at all times. However, they can pose serious safety threats if not used appropriately. Checking text messages, phone calls, or emails while driving can be extremely hazardous. If you value your life and that of others, keep off from such distractive behaviors.

Distracted driving is a growing threat to road safety. With the current technological advancements, everyone now owns a mobile phone. Plus, there has been a rapid introduction of advanced in-vehicle communication systems. Of course, there are numerous forms of distracted driving. Nonetheless, the use of mobile phones while driving has continued to become more prevalent. In fact, research shows that most of the road accidents that happen nowadays result from distracted driving. In most countries, this issue remains unclear because data on mobile phone use isn’t often collected when an accident occurs.

Texting or chatting can cause you to take your eyes off the road, your mind off the road, and your hands off the steering. Also referred to as cognitive distraction, this situation can be potentially dangerous. Evidence shows that this type of distraction can impair your driving performance in numerous ways, including longer reaction times and impaired ability to stick to the correct lane. Young drivers, in particular, are more vulnerable to the effects of such distractions. Drivers using mobile phones have a heightened risk of getting involved in a road accident. Remember, hands-free phoning is equally dangerous as hand-held phoning. So, don’t be feel comfortable thinking that using your hands-free mobile phone is safer. According to the statistics, approximately six-hundred thousand motorists attempt to use their mobile phones while on the road.

The Legislation

It’s illegal to use a hand-held gadget while driving. This typically includes talking, texting, taking photos, or playing games. Such things can be extremely distractive. They can make you lose control of your car.

In most cases, the use of mobile phones while driving leads to rear-end crashes. In case you or your loved one gets involved in a car accident, it’s imperative to beware of your rights. Plus, you need to know how much your claim might be worth.

Steps To Take After a Crash      

The use of social media can be detrimental to you. It can be very harmful to you before and after a car crash. Staying away from it can go a long way in protecting your rights. Moreover, undertaking the following measures can help you recover maximum compensation for your damages.

Get medical help- Have you been injured in a car accident? Well, it’s important that you get urgent medical attention. Don’t wait too long before contacting emergency medical services.

Contact the police: Having a police report can help strengthen your claim. Plus, it can play a significant role in convincing the court that you didn’t cause the accident.

Gather important information: Be sure to collect the other driver’s contact details, vehicle information, and insurance details. Don’t forget to ask the witnesses for their contacts. Getting them to testify in your favor can go a long in improving your chances f winning the case.

Take pictures– Take pictures of your car and injuries at the scene. This can significantly improve your chances of winning the case. Remember, for you to win a personal injury case, you need to prove that your injuries were caused by the other driver’s negligence.

Hire a professional personal injury Lawyer– An experienced attorney who has specialized knowledge in your area of interest can help you navigate the legal proceedings more successfully.

Key Takeaway

Mobile phone distractions are alarmingly high. Thus, be sure to make the right decisions. You really don’t want to run into an accident, right? So, why use your phone at the wrong time? Why risk your life when you can comfortably call or text once you’re off the road?

Driver distraction is the leading cause of most road accidents. In fact, research shows that distraction accounts for approximately twenty-five percent of road accidents. Operating your mobile phone while driving is extremely distracting.  People who operate their mobile phones while driving are five times more likely to encounter a serious crash than those who aren’t. And these types of accidents usually lead to severe injuries or even death.

The Bottom-Line

Life is sacred. Don’t play around with your life. Don’t text while driving. Texting distracts your attention. It reduces your reaction time. So, if you love your life, stay away from texting while driving. Don’t use social media while driving. The above article contains everything about texting and social media—including how it can lead to car accidents.
