Miami wrongful death car accident while texting. Why is it not illegal in FL?$8.8 million was recently awarded to the family of a Miami woman killed in a texting while driving accident. This case has drawn media attention due to the size of the settlement and due to the legal situation in Florida, with many still wondering why texting while driving is still legal. Texting while driving is the act of composing, sending, reading text messages, email, or making other similar use of the web on a mobile phone while operating a motor vehicle, and is still legal in only a quarter of states. Phone company records proved that the driver at fault was texting when his vehicle hit the victim's vehicle, killing one and seriously injuring another. Unfortunately, car accidents often result in serious injury or even death. A Florida injury lawyer can fight for you to get you the compensation you deserve. When someone is the innocent victim of a wrongful death, the victim's family may bring a wrongful death action against the responsible driver. Family members may be eligible for damages for losses such as future wages, medical expenses prior to death, and loss of companionship. In Florida, there are six new potential laws related to this.
