MILWAUKEE, WI, April 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- April has been named Distracted Driving Awareness Month by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. This year, the traffic safety community is sending a message to drivers from coast to coast: One Text or Call Could Wreck It All.

The Milwaukee personal injury law firm of Aiken & Scoptur, S.C. is joining attorneys across the nation in bringing awareness to the dangers of distracted driving and the harm it can cause. Text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted, according to NHTSA. In addition, driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent.

This initiative is especially timely in Wisconsin, where lawmakers just banned drivers under the age of 18 from using cell phone and other wireless communication devices. The state also prohibits texting while driving for all motorists. In addition to criminal and administrative penalties, breaking these laws can have civil consequences in personal injury cases.
