How Can Our Attorneys Investigate a Texting While Driving Accident?
Thankfully, the technology that makes texting and driving possible is the same technology that gives attorneys additional evidence to use in legal cases. Modern cell phones—particularly smartphones—leave behind all kinds of information that can be used to track a person’s actions, from GPS technology to archived data and beyond.
Even if the offender clears their messages in an attempt to hide their dangerous behavior, our law firm can go directly to the source and reach out to their cell phone provider. From there, we can work to gather the information we need to piece together the events leading up to the accident.
Ultimately, we can use different methods to investigate texting and driving accidents, including:
- Gathering statements from eyewitnesses
- Questioning inconsistencies in the other party’s version of events
- Accruing police reports
- Examining previous legal cases with similar circumstances
- Analyzing forensic examinations
- Looking at pictures and videos of the accident scene
- Pulling video evidence from traffic cameras and security cameras
- Gathering medical documents and testimony from medical professionals
- Reconstructing the accident, often with aid from expert witnesses
- Filing motions to obtain cell phone data
- And more
