Seeking Compensation for Serious Injuries and Fatalities
Driving is something that many people do so often that they do not realize how much attention it requires. Unfortunately, many drivers allow themselves to become distracted while driving instead of keeping their eyes and ears focused on their safety and the safety of others.
I am Irwin E. Weiss, an experienced Baltimore distracted driving accident attorney serving clients throughout Maryland. If you have been injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, I will work diligently to help you obtain fair compensation for the harm done to you.
An Experienced Lawyer for Victims of Distracted Drivers
Driver inattention has been identified as a major cause of auto accidents in Maryland and nationwide, potentially rivaling drunk driving. Distracted drivers have a reduced ability to perceive and adjust to dangerous circumstances. Common distractions for drivers include:
- Talking or texting on a cell phone
- Changing a CD or adjusting the radio
- Reading the newspaper
- Putting on makeup
- Eating or drinking
Cell phone use is one issue that has gotten special attention recently. In Maryland, it is illegal to talk on a handheld phone or send text messages while driving. It is legal to use a hands-free device, but drivers who cause accidents while doing so can still be held accountable.
I am experienced at pursuing compensation for victims of distracted driving. If the driver who hit you was distracted, I will document that fact and use it to pursue the results you deserve.
