Bradshaw & Bryant Reminds Drivers of the True Cost of Texting While Driving

Using your phone behind the wheel doesn't just expose you to potential criminal charges, it comes with real consequences.

In Minnesota, the hands-free law means no texting, no scrolling, and no swiping while driving. If you're caught with your phone in your hands while driving, you can be charged.

The true cost involves people who might have done everything right but still ended up in a serious crash. In 2024 alone, distracted driving was connected to 137 serious injuries and 29 deaths in Minnesota. If you hurt someone, it can result in felony charges.

If you're driving, make the decision to put your cellphone out of view so you're not tempted to grab it. Pull off the road if you need to make a call or send a text.

At Bradshaw & Bryant, they hope you're never injured in an accident, but if you are, please seek medical attention, even if you think you aren't seriously injured. Then, call them.

Accident victims may think they only received a few bumps and bruises only to learn days or weeks later that the crash caused a catastrophic condition, so Bradshaw & Bryant wants to make sure you have the medical records and sound legal advice you need to seek the compensation you deserve.

With more than 30 years of experience representing people seriously injured in car accidents, Bradshaw & Bryant will fight with confidence and pride to ensure you get funds to cover medical bills, lost wages, and future treatment costs. They'll also seek compensation for your pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

They know nothing can change what happened, but they can help you get the resources you need. To learn more or schedule a free case evaluation, visit minnesotapersonalinjury.com.
