Unsafe Lane Change Accident Lawyer

Drivers who make unsafe lane changes are a major cause of car accidents. One study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that crossing over the edge of the lane was the critical pre-crash event for nearly 11 percent of all accidents.

Another study from the Insurance Information Institute found that about 7.2 percent of all fatal crashes in a recent year were caused by drivers and motorcycle riders for failure to maintain their lane. These figures show that thousands of lives are impacted every year by drivers making unsafe lane changes.

Why Do You Need a Lawyer for an Unsafe Lane Change Case?

Unsafe lane change accident cases are different from other types of car accident claims. Because these accidents often happen quickly and at high speeds, it can be difficult to determine who caused the accident and should be held liable for the other party’s injuries.

Unsafe lane change accidents also tend to cause more severe injuries than other types of accidents, making the stakes much higher for the party making a claim. To give yourself the optimal chance of recovering compensation for your injuries and holding the other driver accountable for their actions, make sure you talk to an experienced and qualified car accident attorney.

How to Determine Who Is Liable in an Unsafe Lane Accident

Before you can recover any compensation for damages you sustained in an unsafe lane change accident claim, you must identify the liable parties. You will need as much evidence as possible to support your claim, especially if you want to recover the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries.

An unsafe lane change accident attorney can help you find the evidence you’ll need, which may include:

• Police accident reports – Police are typically required to investigate any accident in which one or more drivers sustain an injury. They’ll carefully examine the crash scene to try to determine what happened and who is responsible. Once the investigation is complete, they may cite one or more drivers for their role in causing the crash, and you can use the crash report to support your claim.
• Crash scene photos – Photos from the accident scene can help paint a picture of what happened and add crucial details and context. Be sure to take photos of the damage to your vehicle after a crash. You’ll also want pictures of the damage to the other vehicle and the surrounding area.
• Eyewitness accounts – Third-party eyewitnesses are helpful in accident claims because they can provide a neutral perspective of what happened. If you notice anyone who saw the accident, be sure to get their contact information.
• Expert witnesses – Medical experts, accident reconstruction experts, and other expert witnesses can analyze a crash scene and interpret findings others have made. Our extensive experience handling these kinds of cases means we have many experts we can call on.
