Understanding Texting While Driving Laws in New Jersey

It has been illegal to text while driving on New Jersey roads since 2008. Talking on a hand-held device has been illegal since 2004. Drivers can be pulled over and issued citations for texting or cellphone use alone, even if the driver was not speeding, driving erratically, or breaking any other laws.

How Our New Jersey Texting While Driving Accident Lawyers Can Help

Our lawyers, with decades of experience, know where to go to find important evidence in any type of auto accident case. Such evidence can often be found in the other driver’s cellphone records. We will review the records to find out whether he or she was using the phone or might have sent or received a text just before the accident. If it turns out that texting or talking may have contributed to the crash, we then have an advantage when negotiating with the insurance company. If the insurer still refuses to offer fair compensation, our dedicated team of texting and driving injury attorneys in Rochelle Park, NJ will not hesitate to take the issue to court to protect the rights of our client.
