Thousands of people have died in car crashes involving cell phone use. New technology allows divers to make phone calls, dictate texts or emails and update social media while driving – all actions that are proven to increase crash risk. And employers share much of that risk, being held liable up to $25 million for employee crashes, even when employees use hands-free devices.
