Texting & Driving: Newfoundland Injury Lawyer Gives Insight
http://www.chescrosbie.com/ Texting and driving is a hot topic, as this driving behavior can lead to serious car accidents. In Newfoundland, it is illegal to use a handheld cell phone and text while driving.
If you cause an auto accident because of texting and driving, you could be facing all kinds of problems. Even if you weren’t the one who caused the accident, if it is found that you were texting or talking on a cell phone, your damages could be diminished due to a legal doctrine known as contributory negligence.
What advice does Newfoundland injury lawyer Ches Crosbie have for drivers? Don’t text and don’t talk on your cell phone while behind the wheel. These acts can be held against you if you are involved in a car wreck.
For more information or to get advice about your texting and driving case, contact a Newfoundland injury lawyer at Ches Crosbie Barristers at 709.579.4000 or 1.888.579.3262. You can also order a copy of our free book, 7 Deadly Sins That Could Wreck Your Injury Claim. http://www.chescrosbie.com/practice_areas/auto-accidents-and-car-wrecks.cfm

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
- Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
