Tuesday, August 10, 2010 – Dexter Hamilton, Cozen O’Connor member resident in the Philadelphia office, gave a presentation for a Risk & Insurance Magazine Webinar on July 14, which was sponsored by Zurich Services Corporation. Dexter’s presentation covered the legal issues associated with employees getting into motor vehicle accidents on company time due to distracted driving caused by talking or texting on a cell phone while driving. Dexter explained how recent national trends of states prohibiting cell phone use while driving, past employer liability cases, and current liability theories place companies at risk of expensive lawsuits, and he addressed how companies can be proactive and establish policies that will reduce this threat. Dexter is a 1987 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
