Cameron Yadidi Brock Speaks out Against Distracted Driving
An unsettling rise in collisions due to distracted driving reinforces the importance of the expert personal injury legal team at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In December 2013, Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Wood's squad car struck and killed former Napster executive and entertainment attorney Milt Olin as he rode his bicycle down the bike lane on Los Angeles's Mulholland Drive. The Santa Barbara Independent reports that that the officer was using his mobile computer at the time of the incident, as well as texting with his wife prior to the crash. However, no charges have been filed against Wood, a fact that many have pointed to as an indication of a dangerously high tolerance for negligent and distracted driving in Los Angeles – an issue that is on the rise, according to acclaimed personal injury attorney Cameron Yadidi Brock.
The statistics on distracted driving from Distraction.gov are undeniably sobering. In some 10 percent of fatal crashes involving drivers who were under 20 at the time of the accident, distraction was seen as a major factor. Tasks involving phones often call for both looking and touching ("visual-manual subtasks"). These can triple the risk of a crash. There was a 9 percent increase in collisions involved a distracted driver in 2012; that translates into 421,000 injuries.
