We’ve all become incredibly accustomed to seeing people texting and driving (or otherwise using mobile devices in unsafe ways ourselves), but ubiquity is not synonymous with risk reduction. A recent article in the Wisconsin Lawyer reminded me that liability, and most notably enterprise liability, remains both very real and potentially very costly when accidents happen that are—either in total or in part—a result of negligent driving. And, it wouldn’t take much to convince a jury that driving and texting are, at a minimum, negligent. (Duh.)
