We Will Determine the Cause of Your Accident
There are a range of actions that can be classified as aggressive driving. Here are a few examples:
Speeding
Speeding is one of the top causes of fatal crashes in the U.S. There were a total of 8,596 fatalities in 2018 due to “driving too fast for conditions or in excess of the posted limit,” according to the Insurance Information Institute. If the other party involved in your accident was not obeying the speed limit when they hit you, they may have been negligent.
Reckless Lane Changing
If someone cut you off on the highway without using their signal, you may not have had sufficient time to avoid crashing into them. Reckless decision making such as this may entitle you to compensation.
Sudden and Frequent Braking
If another driver did not exercise patience while on the road—and lashed out against others instead—they may be liable for your accident. They may have pulled out in front of you, then suddenly put on their brakes. This is not only aggressive, but malicious.
Swerving in and Out of Traffic
Some people may drive erratically by swerving in and out of lanes because they are trying to get around the traffic and to their destination faster. However, in congested areas, it is not safe to do this. These drivers get upset at someone they perceive to be driving “too slow,” so they swerve around them, cutting too close.
When someone gets aggressive and begins swerving in and out of traffic, a great danger exists. Such an occurrence may have resulted in your accident.

Injuries You May Have Suffered in an Aggressive Driving Incident
Most accidents will result in some type of injuries. Whether they are mild or serious depends on the nature of the accident. Not only can an aggressive driving accident cause injury to your body, but the pain and suffering attached may also be significant. Emotional trauma is just as relevant as physical harm when assessing damages. Some of the seen and unseen injuries for which you can collect compensation are as follows:
- Whiplash or other head/neck injuries
- Spinal cord damage, including paralysis
- Concussions
- Cuts and bruises
- Burns and smoke inhalation if the car rolls and ignites
- Emotional trauma—including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and nightmares
- Broken bones in any part of the body
- Soreness in any part of the body
Your lawyer will make sure to collect all the medical records, so that you may get fair compensation to cover all your injuries.
