Distracted driving is one of the primary causes of motor vehicle accidents of all kinds. Eating in the car, looking away from the road to change radio stations, putting on make up, talking on the phone and ... TEXTING. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous things a driver can do.
Although there's been a lot of media coverage about the dangers of texting, far too many negligent Chicago drivers are still doing it. And far too many of them are causing car accidents with serious injuries.

Distracted Driving on City Streets in Chicago
Distracted driving is particularly dangerous when driving in downtown Chicago, leading to pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents with serious injuries.
- Pedestrian accidents: Many pedestrians are hit while in the crosswalk by drivers who are looking the other way or drivers who simply aren't paying attention. Pedestrians suffer knee injuries, broken legs, and if the pedestrian is hit by a fast-moving car, head injuries or multiple fractures from being thrown to the ground.
- Bicycle accidents: Bike riders are particularly vulnerable to distracted drivers who wander into the biker's lane, who stop suddenly in front of the bike rider, or who cut the bicyclist off while turning. Bike rider injuries include leg fractures and head and back injuries when thrown from the bike.
