Savannah Unsafe Lane Change Accident Lawyer

Savannah Unsafe Lane Change Accident Lawyer Changing lanes unexpectedly or without proper clearance may cause a chain-reaction collision, resulting in injury.

Changing lanes is a normal part of driving, and something that most of us do on a regular basis. Unfortunately, changing lanes can also be dangerous in certain situations.

Changing lanes may be dangerous if:

  • The motorist does not check their blind spots before exiting their lane
  • There is a vehicle already in the lane that the motorist is merging into
  • The motorist does not use their turn signal before changing lanes
  • The motorist does not leave adequate clearance in front of the lane they are departing and/or the one they are merging into
  • The motorist changes lanes in an abrupt fashion

There may be other conditions in which a lane change is unsafe as well.

Whatever the circumstances, a motorist may be liable if their lane change causes an accident. Call George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers today for details on how a Savannah unsafe lane change accident lawyer can help you after an accident.

The Danger of Changing Lanes Unsafely

You may have been the victim of negligence if a driver changed lanes in a dangerous fashion and ultimately caused an accident involving yourself or a loved one. When paired with changing lanes unsafely, some other dangerous actions that may have been a factor in your accident include:

  • Driving while distracted, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) cited as the cause of nearly 3,000 traffic deaths in 2018
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs
  • Being legally drunk while driving, a behavior that results in 29 Americans dying every day, per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • Speeding, which can be especially dangerous if changing lanes and weaving through traffic
  • Driving at night without functioning headlights or brake lights
  • Driving while in a diminished state, such as being drowsy or emotionally unstable
  • Failing to take precautions such as reducing speed when driving in adverse weather conditions
  • Disobeying road signs and traffic signals

These and other behaviors can combine with a dangerous lane change, causing you or loved one to be injured – or even worse, killed. Being hit by a motorist who was acting in a reckless or unsafe manner could be grounds for you to seek compensation outside of any insurance settlements you may be offered.

Bringing a Lawsuit After a Lane Change Accident

If a driver endangered you or your loved one through negligent action, you may have grounds to pursue a lawsuit against them. Possible defendants in a lawsuit may include:

  • The driver or drivers who are responsible for causing your accident
  • The employer of the driver responsible for your accident, if the accident happened while they were working
  • Any other individuals or entities whose actions or failure to act contributed to your accident

A lawsuit can help cover the cost of losses you have sustained because of your accident, such as:

  • Medical costs that you have accrued to pay for the diagnosis and treatment of your injuries
  • The cost of rehabilitation for your injuries
  • The amount of income you have lost because of your accident and injuries
  • Long-term consequences of your accident such as chronic pain, restrictions in your physical or cognitive function, changes to your physical appearance, and permanent disability
  • Opportunities that you can no longer pursue because of your injuries
  • Any decline in your ability to earn a living that stems from your accident

A lawsuit may be a way to seek coverage for any additional losses or harm that have come from a reckless lane change or another form of motorist negligence. A Savannah unsafe lane change accident lawyer can explain your fitness for a lawsuit and help you bring any legal action that you choose to pursue. Call the team at George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers today for a free consultation.

A Lawyer’s Potential Value to Your Lawsuit

Everybody has the right to bring a lawsuit on their own, but many choose to pair with a lawyer when seeking compensation through civil courts – and you may do the same.

Some of the reasons why you might choose to have a lawyer help with your lawsuit may include:

  • You do not have experience practicing law
  • You are not confident in your ability to bring a lawsuit successfully
  • You would like to rely on somebody who has tried car accident lawsuits in the past and may have a clearer understanding of the process
  • You do not want to spend the potentially significant time or energy required to complete an unsafe lane change lawsuit

Whatever your reason for hiring a lawyer, you may expect your attorney to:

  • Collect any police reports, witness accounts, and documentation of your injury that are pre-existing and available
  • Seek new evidence, possibly with assistance from investigators who specialize in matters like yours
  • Organize evidence and facts into an argument that states you were the victim of negligence
  • File your lawsuit in the appropriate legal venue
  • File all subsequent paperwork and motions required to complete your lawsuit
  • Negotiate a settlement on your behalf with lawyers for defendants in your case
  • Take your lawsuit to trial if no settlement arises
  • Seek fair compensation on your behalf
  • Defend your rights

A Savannah unsafe lane change accident lawyer can focus on all these tasks, so you can focus on getting better.
