Cell phones, text messaging and every other mobile device that contributes to distracted driving can often be the cause of auto accidents on the road. Recently, a driver was distracted buying a home through email and caused a car crash.
Our car accident lawyers see automobile accidents all the time that happen because a negligent driver was distracted by a mobile device. These car accidents can cause personal injuries like whiplash and spinal cord injuries, or even wrongful death.
Now you can add buying a home through your cell phone to the list of automobile accident causes.
Many real estate deals involving complex co-op board applications or multi-million dollar homes are being done electronically now, which means that auto accidents or personal injury can happen because a negligent driver was negotiating a down payment for a house.
But is getting a good deal on a house really worth the risk of personal injury, medical bills, pain and suffering and property damage for you or another driver when you can get in a car accident due to distracted driving?
Many brokers say that the immediacy of e-communication often helps keep deals fresh in a dismal market where fewer properties are being sold and buyers will jump at any price that seems to be a bargain, even if it leads to an auto accident, personal injury, or property damage. Even if you do end up sealing the deal on your new pad, how will you make the payments on it if you are trying to pay medical bills or being subject to lost wages because you are found to be at fault for the automobile accident?
As car accident lawyers we know that there are many different causes of car crashes, especially negligent drivers who are distracted by mobile devices, being only one of them. We urge people to save the home purchasing for when they are not liable to cause an auto accident that may result in a personal injury to themselves or someone else if they can not safely operate a car.
