As a Personal Injury Law Firm we represent the victims of wrecks caused by inattentive drivers on cell phones or who were texting. At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we help our clients recover the money they are entitled to for medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages after being injured by driver paying more attention to their phone than to the road.

We fight hard on behalf of people who were injured in a car accident when another driver:

• an a stop sign or red light
• Abruptly came into their lane
• Rear ended them at high speeds
• Made an illegal turn

In all cases involving serious injuries we investigate whether or not the at-fault driver was operating a cell phone, music player or other mobile device. Distracted drivers put us all at risk when overwise avoidable crashes result in serious injuries and deaths.

South Carolina Texting and Driving Law

Although it is not yet illegal in most parts of South Carolina to text while you operate a motor vehicle at high speeds, the law is clear that if you do so and then cause an accident you are responsible for all resulting injuries and damages.

Commercial Drivers and Cell Phones

If you have been involved in an accident involving an eighteen wheeler or any other commercial vehicle you should always investigate whether or not the driver was on a cell phone at the time of the accident. As a driver on South Carolina highways we see commercial drivers regularly talking on phones rather than paying full attention to the road. There are no second chances when a large commercial vehicle crashes into a passenger vehicle.
