For a first offense of negligent operation causing injury from mobile phone use, what is the fine?

The fine for a first offense of negligent operation causing injury from mobile phone use is $500. This reflects the seriousness with which Massachusetts treats distracted driving, particularly when it results in injury. The law aims to discourage the use of mobile phones while driving to enhance road safety and minimize accidents. The specified fine serves as a financial penalty meant to deter not just the individual offender but also to send a message to the general public about the risks associated with distracted driving. This approach aligns with broader traffic safety initiatives aimed at reducing accidents caused by negligence related to mobile device usage.
