Marion County Cellphone Use Accident Attorney
Despite the support of Florida's governor and the efforts of many legislators and public safety advocates — including attorney Steven Wingo — as of the end of 2011, Florida has no law against texting while driving. At least 19 other states already have such bans in place.
Arguments that such a law would be difficult to enforce, or that other forms of distracted driving are equally dangerous, are extremely difficult for victims of this extreme form of distracted driving to accept.

Steven Wingo, Attorney at Law, provides the strategic, intelligent and compassionate representation that injured clients need and deserve.

Pursuing Fair Compensation and Just Results
Although texting while driving is still legal in Florida, members of the public have long realized how dangerous it is. That can be important in car accident cases caused by texting, because:
- Attorney Steven Wingo may be able to present cellphone records as evidence to show that the driver who hit you was talking or texting at the time of the accident.
- The attitudes of juries often reflect the attitude of society at large. If the public is generally against texting while driving, chances are some jury members will be as well.
- Texting can be used to show a heightened level of negligence on the part of the driver who hit you, which may lead to the possibility of additional compensation for you.
You can depend on our qualified legal and investigative team to pursue all angles of liability. If the negligent driver was texting, that gives attorney Steven Wingo an advantage in negotiations with the insurance company, which may lead to a favorable settlement. Conversely, if the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, this evidence gives Mr. Wingo the chance to make a strong case for you in court.
