Injured By A Distracted Driver?

Every day, millions of people across the country spend time in their vehicles. Commuting to and from work, school and other locations can result in many hours spent en route. For years, people having been using this time to multitask while driving.

Texting While Driving

Across the U.S., there is an epidemic. People are texting while driving more than ever, despite repeated warnings from government and private agencies. In Maryland, the laws against the use of cellphones in vehicles are strict. All drivers are banned from talking on handheld devices and texting while driving. If a driver is found to have been texting while driving at the time he or she caused an accident, that driver may be held criminally responsible in addition to being held responsible for the injuries you or a loved one suffered.

Other In-Vehicle Distractions

Before cellphones, there were still things that took drivers' attention away from the road, including:

• Eating and drinking
• Applying makeup
• Passengers
• Children in the back seat
• Reading
