Companies, negligent driving, liability

In the past ten years a wide variety of cases have resulted in companies paying restitution to victims injured by the negligent driving of an employee distracted by a cell phone. With settlements and verdicts ranging from $1.5 to $21 million employees who use cell phones while driving are a costly risk for your company – ZoomSafer Distracted Driving whitepaper January 2010

On-the-job crashes cost employers $24,500 per crash, $150,000 per injury, and $3.6 million per fatality. Today, smart companies require employees to go cell phone free while driving and follow-up on their employee’s compliance.
