According to this New York Times story (registration required):
Already, Smith Barney, the investment banking firm, has paid $500,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of a motorcyclist killed in Pennsylvania by one of its brokers who was talking on the phone while driving, according to a lawyer for the victim's family. But in Minnesota, where a psychiatric nurse reached for her cellphone while driving home and rammed another car, the jury concluded that answering the call was not part of her job.
