The Hands-Free Georgia Act
Georgia law prohibits drivers from holding or supporting a phone while driving. Texting, scrolling, and watching video behind the wheel are all banned.
Distraction as Negligence
When a distracted driver causes a crash, the violation is strong evidence of negligence. Phone records can sometimes confirm the driver was using a device at the moment of impact.
Proving Distraction
Witnesses, the driver's own admissions, surveillance video, and subpoenaed phone records all help establish distraction.
Your Recovery
A clear distraction case can reduce disputes over fault — and under Georgia's 50% rule, keeping your fault low maximizes your recovery.
