KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The city got a painful reminder this week about
the dangers of distracted driving. It's a story Kansas City crash
lawyers hear far too often.
Tamiqua Kendricks, a 25-year-old young mother, was driving along
I-35 near 167th street in Johnson County, Kan., when she lost control
of her car and rolled off the highway. Troopers say Kendricks was
using her phone and was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the
crash. Luckily, her young son was with his grandfather.
Kansas City crash lawyer Doug Horn believes distracted driving is
becoming a particular specialty for lawyers to practice. He takes cases

2. very seriously, because many of them have sobering details.
"Some of us feel that texting while driving is just as dangerous as
drunk driving. I don't think the legal system is quite there yet, but
I'm handling these cases as I would a drunk driving case, with very
serious, societal consequences," Horn said.
Horn is an advocate to prevent distracted driving. He started "Drive
By Example," a community service organization dedicated to
advancing driver safety through initiatives that address America's
most important roadway safety priorities, including distracted driving
prevention and teen driver protection.
"Drive By Example" works with schools, business firms, community
groups and others to develop and implement effective driving safety
programs.
