Distracted driving can have devastating consequences for businesses and families, and cell phones continue to be a leading cause of distraction behind the wheel.

April is National Distracted Driving month and Federated Insurance, along with their colleagues, including Meagher & Geer, are honored to partner with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to draw attention to the distracted driving epidemic. To help create public awareness, a state-wide campaign was recently kicked off at the Department of Public Safety.

Federated Insurance is delivering a new distracted driving message to their 30,000+ clients. It addresses the growing epidemic of using mobile devices while driving, and asks “What Is Important to You?”
