Boone County Texting While Driving Laws
There have been numerous studies done that have shown that individuals who are texting while driving or talking on their cellphones are more likely to cause a car accident. Unfortunately, this is becoming all too common, with other drivers and passengers sustaining serious and life-threatening injuries as a result.

We are the law firm of Busald Funk Zevely, P.S.C. and we handle all types of car accident cases, including distracted driving accidents, for injured clients in Florence, Kentucky, and throughout the entire Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region.

Distracted driving accidents can be very serious, as the driver who is using his or her cellphone while driving can lose complete control of the vehicle. Our attorneys stand up for the rights of clients who have been injured as the result of a driver who was texting or using a cellphone while driving. It is our goal to see that you get the compensation you deserve for the injuries you have suffered, while the negligent driver is held civilly and criminally responsible.
A federal government agency is even exploring the possibility of a nationwide ban on cellphone usage in cars, which may cut down the number of distracted driving accidents. However, people would still use their phones even if it was against federal laws just as they do when it is against already-established state laws. Hands-free adaptors help, but nothing is safer than a driver focusing 100 percent of his or her attention on the road.
Other Distractions in Vehicles
Before cellphones, there were many other distractions in vehicles that still can be the cause of an accident. Though most cases involving distracted driving now refer to a driver who was texting while driving or talking on a cellphone, other distractions include:
- Other people in the car (especially when there is a car full of teenagers)
- Eating while driving
- Reading while driving
- Listening to headphones
- Putting on makeup
