What is Aggressive Driving?
Aggressive driving occurs when a driver engages in purposefully dangerous activities, putting others at risk. Data on aggressive driving from AAA found that 80% of drivers have experienced other drivers who displayed anger, aggression, or other forms of road rage on the road with them. This type of behavior increases the risk of crashes. Some of the most common examples of aggressive driving include:
- Running a red light
- Speeding in heavy traffic
- Cutting off other drivers and then slowing down
- Driving in and out of traffic
- Blocking cars from attempting to pass or enter the lane
- Tailgating, or following a car too closely
Road rage is similar and often depicts instances in which a person is engaging in anger-filled actions such as throwing objects, cursing at the other driver, making rude gestures, sideswiping, or ramming others. If you are hurt in an aggressive driving accident or if you believe road rage occurred, let our team help you.
How to Prove Aggressive Driving
In an accident with another vehicle, it can be challenging to prove that the driver was engaging in aggressive actions. When aggressive driving contributes to the accident, proving it is crucial to your claim. Our Las Vegas aggressive driving accident lawyer will help you do this in a number of ways.
- We speak to you and all witnesses, even if the police already did. Small bits of information can help to provide insight.
- We consider the driver’s past driving record, including any infractions for speeding, reckless driving, or accidents.
- Gather traffic camera footage and surveillance videos from surrounding locations to determine whether any of the incident was captured on camera.
- Utilize footage from dash cameras that can help to demonstrate what occurred.
- Use accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene and clarify the sequence of events.
It takes a lot of evidence and work to build a strong case against distracted driving. Having a lawyer who’s experienced in this area can make all the difference. Before you agree to any settlement, contact us for immediate help and guidance.
Does Proving Aggressive Driving Matter?
For victims of aggressive driving accidents, it may be clear that the other driver is responsible, and if evidence determines that, police and insurance companies will rule in your favor.
Proving that the other party was aggressive is important. It demonstrates additional suffering you dealt with, and it may help you to establish your right to further compensation.
