    You Can Be Held Liable For Texting Someone That's Driving

    It wasn't the act of sending the text that caused the accident it was the act of reading the text that caused the accident. End of Story. Who ever says different is looking for a reason to blame the sender. Most likely the sender of text has money and the causer of accident has no money.
