Aggressive driving causes many accidents and is a mark of gross negligence and malice on the part of the enraged driver. To get compensated for your injuries and damages, contact a Boise road rage accident lawyer.
To varying degrees, road rage affects thousands of Americans every day throughout the United States. Although it can occur on a spectrum, ranging from simply yelling at other drivers to aggressive driving and full-on vehicular assaults, it dramatically increase the risk of auto accidents in all of its forms.
If you were harmed as a direct result of an enraged driver who either assaulted you or caused an accident because he or she was out of control, you could be entitled to financial compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. A Boise road rage accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you navigate the legal process and bring your case to a successful conclusion.
Road rage occurs when drivers experience intense—often violent—responses to the everyday frustrations of driving. For most people, becoming frustrated while driving and experiencing momentary displeasure at being cut off or something similar is simply a normal occurrence. These situations typically immediately blow over as both drivers go about their day.
However, in aggressive driving situations, one or both drivers become so angry that they enter an enraged state that may lead them to make poor decisions. At the very least, road rage leads to distracted driving; at its most serious, road rage can cause multiple-car pileups and even fatalities.
Injuries experienced due to road rage accidents usually stem from either direct personal assaults or the car accidents themselves. These injuries can run the gamut from minor to life-threatening. Just a few of the most common injuries are listed below:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), stabbings, shootings, and physical and mental assault can also happen in these situations. Aggressive driving is a primary cause of severe car accidents that don’t need to happen. Drivers who commit assaults or who cause accidents while enraged can be held responsible for any losses, injuries, and damages that they cause. If you were injured as a direct result of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses—whether the other driver is officially charged with a crime or not.
Road rage accidents can be dangerous for anyone who happens to be driving on the road with the angry driver. If you have been the victim of this type of accident, not only can the injuries change your life forever, but you may have to deal with long-term mental and emotional trauma as well. Furthermore, your lawsuit could even help to prevent this type of accident from happening to someone else in the future.
If you have been hurt or traumatized in a car accident that was caused by an angry driver, you could be entitled to financial compensation for what you’ve been through.
