Starting June 5, 2025, Pennsylvania drivers will face stricter rules when it comes to cellphone use behind the wheel. Paul Miller’s Law makes it illegal to use a handheld device while driving—even if you’re stopped at a red light or sitting in traffic. This law honors the memory of Paul Miller, a young man whose life was tragically cut short by a distracted driver.

Under this new law, drivers can still use hands-free technology (like Bluetooth or voice-activated systems), but holding your phone to talk, text, or scroll is now a primary offense. Law enforcement can pull you over simply for seeing a phone in your hand.

At Schemery Zicolello, we’ve seen how devastating distracted driving crashes can be. Texting or using a phone takes your eyes off the road and your hands off the wheel—risking not only your life, but the lives of everyone around you.

Paul Miller’s Law is a critical step forward, but it won’t eliminate all reckless behavior. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, you deserve justice and fair compensation.

Our team is here to help you navigate the legal process and hold negligent drivers accountable.
