Transcript
Hit by a driver who was texting? Here's how to prove it. Write down what you saw right away. Witness names, dashcam video and the police report can all show the driver was distracted. Phone records are private, so getting them usually takes a subpoena or court order during a claim or lawsuit. Many states ban handheld phone use while driving, and a ticket for it can support your claim. Save every piece of evidence. Compare free quotes at autoinsurancebundle.pro.
