The Dangers of Unsafe Lane Changing on the Road

Road and highway lanes are designed to control the flow of traffic and ensure the safety of all on the road. While changing lanes is very common for numerous reasons, doing it in an unsafe, reckless manner can result in serious injury or death. Some of the most common serious injuries that result from unsafe driving include

Traumatic brain injuries
Broken bones
Spine trauma
Disfiguring scarring
Joint tearing or disruption
Internal organ damage

Improper lane change or lane deviation resulted in 7.2% of motor vehicle accidents in 2018 in the US, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III). Furthermore, in 2018 in New York, 5.3% (or 13,589) crashes occurred involving improper passing or lane usage, based on data compiled by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

If you were in an accident due to another driver’s unsafe lane changing, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault driver to recover monetary compensation for your physical injuries, expenses, and other losses as a result of the accident.

Improper lane changes can be the result of intentional or unintentional driving movements. There are a wide variety of causes of improper lane changes including:

Distracted driving
Road rage
Tailgating/ following too closely
Erratic driving
Speeding
Weaving in and out of moving lanes
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Driving while fatigued or falling asleep at the wheel
