Tampa Texting & Driving Accident Lawyer

Texting while driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Tampa and across Florida. Distracted drivers take their eyes off the road for just a few seconds, but the consequences can last a lifetime. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa texting & driving accident lawyer represents victims injured by distracted motorists. We fight for justice and full compensation to cover your medical bills, lost income, and the pain you’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence.

Understanding Texting and Driving Accidents

Florida law strictly prohibits texting while driving, yet many drivers continue to use their phones behind the wheel. This reckless behavior reduces reaction times, causes drivers to drift out of lanes, and often leads to rear-end or intersection collisions.

Spencer Morgan Law investigates every aspect of texting and driving cases, from phone records and witness statements to police reports and traffic camera footage. We work tirelessly to prove distraction and hold negligent drivers accountable.

Common Causes of Texting and Driving Crashes

• Texting or emailing while driving
• Using social media or browsing the internet
• Adjusting GPS or music apps
• Reading notifications or checking messages
• Taking photos or videos while on the road

We work with experts to analyze digital evidence and confirm that the at-fault driver’s distraction directly led to your accident.

Common Injuries from Texting and Driving Accidents

Texting and driving crashes often occur at high speeds or during sudden lane changes, resulting in serious injuries such as:

• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash and neck pain
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures and broken bones
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Cuts and lacerations from shattered glass

Spencer Morgan Law ensures your injuries and financial losses are fully documented to pursue maximum compensation.
