Texting While Driving Is Illegal in Illinois

According to Illinois law, texting, e-mailing, and browsing the internet while driving are illegal. It is also against the law for any driver to talk on a cell phone without using a hands-free device. The existence of such laws makes it easier to prove negligence in the event of an accident. Our attorneys will investigate the texts, calls, and messages received and sent before and during the time frame of the accident. Using strategic techniques and expert analysis, we will work to prove negligence so that you can recover the compensation you deserve.
