Leesfield & Partners, P.A., Ira Leesfield
December, 2010
Leesfield & Partners, P.A., a prominent Florida personal injury law firm with offices in Miami, South Beach, Key West and Central Florida, is headed by accomplished board certified trial attorney Ira Leesfield, and serves clients across the Florida, the nation and worldwide. A multi-faceted firm, Leesfield & Partners, P.A., specializes in personal injury and wrongful death cases. Partner Ira Leesfield holds a deep concern over the growing issue of cell phone use and texting while driving. Driving while using a cell phone and texting is a problem that has evolved rapidly with the rise of mobile phone technology, and accounts for approximately 200,000 automobile accidents annually. A study recently published by Car & Driver magazine reveals that a drunk driver’s reactions are nearly four times faster than those of a texting driver. In a recent article featured in the Miami Herald, trial attorney Ira Leesfield addresses the dangers of texting and driving and discusses the potential liabilities faced by employers when their employees are sending work-related texts and e-mails while on the road. He provided his expertise and insight on solutions to the dangerous new cause of many car crashes and lawsuits. Because more people than ever are using their mobile devices to complete business transactions, from document transfers to e-mails to professional phone calls, Ira Leesfield recommends that employers implement and enforce strict policies regarding work-related phone use while driving. Many people may be more likely to engage in risky texting because of employment obligations; if their administration prohibits them from doing so, they will feel less pressure and be less inclined to make errors in driving judgment. Additionally, businesses cannot be found liable for accidents that occur while a staff member is engaging in an activity that has been forbidden.
