Types of Improper Lane Changes

An improper lane change by another vehicle can catch even a careful driver off guard and result in a variety of accident types. There are many laws detailing the rules for changing lanes on the road. Any time a driver violates these laws and creates an accident, they may be liable for the damages they cause.

Some common types of improper lane changes include:

Changing Lanes without Using a Turn Signal

Sometimes people get in a hurry and quickly switch lanes without notifying other drivers. However, if someone else is changing at the same time, and they were using their signal, then the party not using it may be liable for causing the accident.

Changing Lanes in the Middle of an Intersection

In many situations, when you go through an intersection, you must stay in your lane. You cannot switch to a different lane in these instances. If someone does so, it could affect how a person who is turning left times their turn and cause an accident.

Changing Lanes on a Double White Line

In some locations, there is a double white line. It may be on a bridge or in a tunnel. Sometimes it could be on a curvy, mountainous road. The point of the double line is to notify drivers not to change lanes in those areas because it could be dangerous. If someone does so, then they may be at fault.

Louisiana traffic law spells out additional lane-changing rules for passing on the left in RS 32:76.

If you have been injured because of another driver’s carelessness, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to support you. To discuss your case for free with a member of our team, call us at (337) 777-7777 today.

Damages from an Improper Lane Change Accident

Any time someone makes an improper lane change, serious consequences can arise. From getting sideswiped and rolling over to getting pushed into a concrete wall, the damages in these types of accidents can range from serious to life-threatening.

  • Ambulance fees and emergency room treatment
  • Medical care, including all follow-up treatment and estimated future costs
  • Lost wages for the time you had to miss from work while recovering
  • Reduced earning capability
  • Property damage

A Time Limit on Your Ability to Sue

If you are considering taking legal action for your injuries, you should know that Louisiana generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits, per CC 3492. There may be circumstances that alter this deadline, but if you allow this time limit to expire without taking legal action, it could mean that your case gets dismissed.

A representative of Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can discuss what specific deadlines pertain to your case when you call in for a free consultation.
