Texting while driving is extremely reckless behavior that can ruin lives. It shouldn’t go unpunished, but how can victims prove that the other driver was driving distracted? Even if you saw them on their phone, without definitive proof, the other party’s conflicting version of events may weaken your claim’s credibility.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we have years of experience substantiating auto accident claims with straightforward proof of distracted driving to help victims and their families receive the compensation they deserve. Our Boca Raton car crash trial attorneys will fight to defend your rights and get justice on your behalf in negotiations and even litigation, if necessary.

What Data Can Be Recovered From Cell Phone Data

If you suspect the other driver was using their phone at the time of the accident, you can request their cell phone records. Depending on the situation, the other driver’s cellphone data may provide valuable evidence to substantiate your claim, serving as the indisputable evidence you need to secure necessary compensation.

These records can show detailed logs of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages, indicating whether the driver was using their phone at the time of the accident. They can also display drivers’ browsing history and app usage logs, which can reveal if the driver was checking social media, browsing the web or using other apps while driving.

Put simply, cell phone records may show if the driver was on their phone before the accident. However, obtaining these records is complicated and requires an experienced attorney who has the know-how to acquire them. The Boca Raton car accident lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga can help.

How Boca Raton Car Accident Attorneys Acquire Cell Phone Records

If a formal demand letter to the other party’s cell phone carrier requesting access to their records related to the accident doesn’t work, we’re not afraid to issue a subpoena. A subpoena is a legal order that mandates an individual or organization produce documentation connected to a civil suit. We have years of experience filing subpoenas and will work effectively and efficiently to produce the other driver’s cell phone data specific to the time of the accident.

Once we obtain the records, our Boca Raton auto accident attorneys will thoroughly review and analyze the data to identify evidence of distracted driving that we’ll utilize to bolster your claim. In some cases, we’ve also enlisted accident reconstruction experts to help establish the sequence of events and enhance your case’s credibility – working hard and from every angle to maximize your compensation.
