Do cell phones cause cancer? Maybe, but they’re much more likely to cause your car accident…
A new study on cell phones is making some major buzz in the news today. According to the World Health Organization, radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer.
Of course everyone is up in arms at the idea of cell phones and the big “C” word, but I ask you, aren’t cell phones already killing people?
As a personal injury lawyer in Fort Worth, I know that my biggest worry isn’t whether or not a cell phone is going to give me cancer; it’s that I’m going to get in a car accident because of someone TALKING on a cell phone.
I think that distracted drivers, people talking and texting while operating a vehicle, are much more dangerous than radiation from cell phones that could “possibly cause cancer.” Why is it that this issue gets all the buzz when distracted driving has already killed 5,474 people in 2009 alone?
All I’m saying is that we have a lot more pressing cell phone safety issues to worry about than just the possibility of them causing cancer. But, that’s just my two cents.
