The number of car accidents linked to cell phone usage, both telephone conversations and texting, is staggering. According to one study, 28% of traffic accidents occur when a driver is using a cell phone. Consequently, it is critical to obtain a driver’s cell phone records involving a motor vehicle or any car accident case. One typically obtains cell phone records through a subpoena to the driver’s cell phone provider.
Car Accidents and Car Seats
The Utah Department of Public Safety outlines specific rules for car seats. How long should your child be in a car seat? When is it safe to transition to a booster seat? Children under 8 years old must be properly secured in an approved child safety seat. This is the case until they are at least 57 inches tall. Children between 8 to 12 years old must be in an appropriate child restraint device or by a safety belt. Yet the law does not apply to school buses and vehicles manufactured without safety belts.
