According to the CTIA-The Wireless Association, there are over 330 million cellular devices in the United States. While the emergence of mobile phones has made our lives easier and more convenient, they can also be dangerous when used while operating a motor vehicle. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report that the most common cause of distracted driving is cell phone use.
Distracted driving, especially texting and driving, is a huge problem in Arizona and throughout the rest of the country. In 2011, inattentive or distracted drivers caused over 3,000 injury crashes in the state, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an Arizona texting and driving accident, you may be eligible for legal and financial recourse. Contact an Arizona auto accident attorney today to learn about the legal rights available to injury victims.

Accidents Caused by Cell Phone Use
Researchers have found that using a cell phone while driving is as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. In 2010, over 3,000 people were killed in distraction-related crashes and another 415,000 were injured, according to the NHTSA. Teen drivers are more likely to be involved in fatal distracted driving accidents than any other age group.
Each year, distracted driving causes thousands of motor vehicle accidents. The Department of Transportation divides driver distractions into three types:
- Taking your mind off driving
- Taking your eyes off the road
- Taking your hands of the wheel
Drivers that are texting and driving are engaging in all three types of distracted driving. Texting and driving increases a drivers odds of being in a vehicle crash. Research conducted by VTTI found that sending or receiving a text message takes a drivers eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds, the equivalent of driving the length of a football field at 55mph.
Texting and Driving Laws in Arizona

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
