A Robertson County, Texas jury has ordered to that a student almost 22 million dollars damages in a suit wrongful death figures.  The jury came to the conclusion that Jason Reed Vestal texting and driving, which resulted in a serious car accident in November 2007.  This judgment is one of the largest in the history in case texting while driving.

Depending on the phone of records Vestal sent and received 15 text messages and seven calls during the 45 minutes, which, he went before the fatal collision took place.  The car accident claims, the life of the 21-year-old Megan small Houston, was the senior at Baylor University.  Vestal's truck collided head-on with small vehicle.

Vestal, said that he remember anything from the accident not and it's really hard to check whether it really caused his texting.  He said that his phone records only prove, that there were text messages and phone calls, while he was driving.

Hunter craft, which is the nuclear family, lawyer, called it a landmark case. "No. 1 is the first time a Texas jury spoken according to their thoughts on texting and driving and has pronounced."  It was also the largest wrongful death judgment ever to come out of Robertson County.  I think, this is probably a synonym for the egregious nature of Reed Vestal code of conduct in the case of "Craft said."

The family would like to use advertising about the case while driving illegal in the State to urge Texas legislature to SMS.
