well it depends if your texting someone and your driving at the same time then you may cause 1 or if your talking to someone on the phone while driving but instead of you holding it you can put it on loud speaker and put it like on the passenger seat if its not taken and talk to the person who's on the phone and listen to them while your driving but keep your eyes on the road and for any 1 else who's in the car and is not driving then no it cant cause an accident
Another View: No. It is the drivers USING the cellphones who cause the accidents.
The single biggest cause of car accidents while using a cell phone - is cell phones.
people should stop texting and talking on the phone while their driving it would really limit on the car accidents.

how many people died in car accidents in 2009?
Most car accidents happen because people are careless. People also do things while they are driving that cause accidents, such as using cell phones, texting and eating.
Not paying attention/distractions. (cell phones, unruly kids, eating, etc.)
1 of every 10 drivers get in accidents because of cellphones. Source: http://www.winnipeg.ca/police/
in the united states, about 1200 injury causing wrecks PER DAY due to an avoidable distraction. 20% of those wrecks are due to distraction by cell phone usage, which means 448,000 wrecks due to an avoidable distraction over the course of the year. 89,600 of those wrecks were due to a cell phone; 5,474 deaths last year (2009) due to an avoidable distraction and 995 of those deaths were due to cell phones. These numbers keep rising each year. So this answer will need to be updated continuously.
Cell phones were called car phones in the year 1980.
Car accidents because of unattention, also fires or others because of unattention. Like maybe death of a baby in bath, if the mother is on the phone and forgets about him.... Sorry, that is all I can think of.
The National Safety Council estimates that 1.6 million accidents crashes per year are from the use of cell phones and texting while driving. They also note that 28% of all traffic accidents occur involve a person talking on a cell phone or texting while driving.
