Brooklyn Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers
If you or a loved one was in an accident and suffered injuries due to another driver’s negligent actions in failing to change lanes safely, you may have a case for compensation worth pursuing legally. Traffic laws are intended to control the flow of traffic, maintain order, and ensure the safety of everyone on the road. However, in the event that a driver fails to follow safety protocol and improperly changes lanes in traffic, the consequences can be dangerous.
Accidents that occur due to improper lane changes can be severe, resulting in injuries and even death for anyone involved. If you were involved in such an accident, you may be able to collect compensation to help cover the expenses and losses related to your injuries. A Bronx improper lane change accident lawyer may be able to promote your legal goals and interests.
The Frequency and Causes of Improper Lane Change Accidents
Lane change accidents can have life-changing consequences. Drivers must maintain full control of their vehicles when driving, and it is their responsibility to have their full attention on the road.
According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), 13,589 crashes occurred in 2014 related to improper lane changes, accounting for 5.3% of all accidents. Throughout the nation, 7.2% of accidents that occurred in 2018 were the result of drivers failing to stay in their own lane, per data from the Insurance Information Institute (III).
Changing lanes can present certain dangers. Motorists have an obligation to check for oncoming cars, check mirrors, and use their turn signal when merging or changing lanes. In the event of an accident caused by an improper lane change, fault is often placed on the driver who merged into another lane.
How to Prove Distracted Driving in New York
Proving that the other driver was distracted at the time of the accident is key to recovering compensation for your losses. Unfortunately, this is not always an easy task. In many cases, the at-fault driver will deny that they were doing anything wrong or that they were distracted. However, with the right evidence, you can prove that the other driver was distracted at the time of the accident.
Some of the most effective types of evidence in distracted driving accident cases include:
- Cell phone records
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Surveillance footage
- Photos of the accident scene
- Photos of the damage to the vehicles
- Accident reconstruction
Our attorneys can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove that the other driver was distracted and is therefore liable for your damages. We will also handle all of the legal details of your case and ensure that your rights are protected.
