In
Cambria County last Wednesday a driver waived his preliminary hearing on charges
that he was responsible for the deaths of two people. The driver was charged with among other
things, texting while driving. While the
Commonwealth has a heavy burden to carry, what is interesting is that this is
the first time texting while driving charges have been filed in Cambria County
since the law prohibiting texting while driving had been enacted nearly 2 years
ago. This tragedy occurred close to home in Cambria
County, but may have easily occurred in Blair, Centre or Huntingdon
County.
Cases
like this have serious consequence not only criminally, but also civilly. A Victim’s family may have a claim for serious
personal injuries. At the Law Firm of
Douglas V. Stoehr we have experience in handling injury claims caused by the negligence
of drivers that are texting while driving.
If you have been the victim of an auto accident related to a distracted
driver please give either Attorney Doug Stoehr or Attorney Aaron Ling a call to
evaluate your case today.
Remember
that responding to that text message can wait.
No message it worth your life, or the life another individual.
