Injured By an Aggressive Driver? Fight for Rightful Compensation.

Sometimes you see it coming. That driver behind you, weaving around cars and filling up your rearview mirror.

Sometimes you don’t. That truck blowing through a stop sign just outside your field of vision.

When you get hit by an aggressive driver, the impact is the same: shock, pain and costs.

Aggressive driving is careless and beyond dangerous. When you’re injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s bad behavior, you deserve to be compensated for the damage to your life.

A personal injury claim can get you the financial support you need to cover medical expenses, make up for lost income and help you rebuild your life. To win an aggressive driving case, you have to prove the aggressive driver was negligent.

That’s easier said than done.

    Aggressive Driving, Reckless Driving and Road Rage

    Most of us are familiar with the telltale signs of aggressive driving. It’s often a combination of moving violations that puts other drivers in danger, including:

    • Speeding
    • Tailgating (following too closely)
    • Ignoring stop signs, traffic lights and caution signs
    • Weaving through traffic and shifting lanes quickly
    • Refusing to let other drivers merge into a lane
    • Driving erratically in any other way

    The Ohio Department of Public Safety says speeding alone contributes to one-third of fatal accidents.

    When a driver shows such recklessness and then crashes into you, your personal injury claim will need to draw a direct line from their driving style to your injury.

    Road rage takes it to an entirely other level. In Ohio and elsewhere, it’s a crime. A Forbes magazine survey in 2024 found that eight percent of Ohio drivers say they frequently encounter road rage.

    Road rage occurs when someone’s anger gets the better of them and they proactively look to harm another driver. They force cars off the road, block them from advancing, throw objects at other vehicles, make obscene hand gestures—or even flash a gun or get out of their car to physically assault another driver.

    Whether it’s road rage or aggressive driving, the wrecks and injuries caused can be devastating for victims.

    Get a lawyer on your case fast, to gather the evidence you need to prove the other driver’s fault while you deal with the physical pain, mental anguish and life disruption. You pay no lawyer fee until you win compensation.

    Avoiding Aggressive Driving Accidents—and Proving Negligence when You Can’t

    The Ohio Department of Public Safety has a lot of advice about avoiding crashes with reckless drivers:

    • Keep your distance.
    • Move to the right to let people pass on the left.
    • Use your signals for turns and lane changes.
    • Don’t honk your horn much.
    • Drive courteously yourself.
    • Stay calm toward the other driver.
    • Keep your hands on the wheel and focus on driving.
    • Avoid eye contact.
    • Get out of the way without responding to the other driver.

    But when prevention isn’t enough and a collision happens, you’ll need to prove that the aggressive driver’s behavior caused your injuries.

    Your first move after a crash should always be to call the police and get medical help.

    Then the police report will record details about what happened from a law enforcement professional who knows what to look for. If you can, jot down everything you remember as soon as you can. Take pictures of the vehicles and the scene. Identify witnesses and get their contact info.

    All this evidence will be important to show that someone’s reckless driving has endangered you and violated your right to drive freely and safely.

    Don’t despair if you didn’t follow all these steps. Your injuries may have understandably prevented you.

    A wreck is traumatic. It can be hard to think straight in the moment. Be kind to yourself. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you through the process.

    A successful negligence case can secure life-changing compensation covering everything from hospital stays, medical treatments and lost wages to the challenges of a lengthy recovery and the wreck’s damage to your quality of life.

    At HNB, our Ohio aggressive driving accident attorneys can look at your case and give you the best advice about how to win the compensation you deserve, put this awful experience behind you, and look forward to better times.
