We have all had those gut-wrenching moments when we are about to drive through a green light, and a driver from the crossing street barrels by, running their red light and nearly hitting our car. While aggressive drivers are not talked about as much as drunk drivers, they are a huge risk to all of us on the road. Their anger and other emotions can cause them to ignore changing road conditions, miss obvious warning signs, and drive recklessly, all of which can lead to an accident.
We at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys have seen the damage that reckless drivers have caused. We have worked with numerous clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries, costly property damage, and impossibly high medical bills because of an aggressive driver’s erratic actions. That’s why we are passionate about helping those who were hurt in an accident through no fault of their own. If your injuries were caused by the bad choices of an aggressive drive.

If you drive to and from work or anywhere else often, chances are you have seen an aggressive driver. You may have noticed someone plowing through a red light, narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic. Maybe you have experienced someone tailgating and blaring their horn at you. Maybe you have even been in a car with an aggressive driver and had the harrowing experience of not knowing if they were about to cause an accident.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from aggressive drivers is to know what they do. Common signs include:
If you see any drivers exhibiting these behaviors, it’s best to avoid them altogether. If you’re driving, let them pass, or you may be able to turn off onto a different road. Once you are safely out of their way, report them to law enforcement to help keep others safe.
If you are a passenger in a car with an aggressive driver, your best options are to try not antagonize them further, and then find a chance to leave the vehicle safely as soon as you can.
If an aggressive driver caused your accident, then they are liable for the resulting damages. Aggressive drivers do not get a pass because they let their emotions get the better of them. When anyone harms another person, they should be held responsible.
But that doesn’t mean that getting compensation from their insurance company will be easy. The aggressive driver’s insurance company will likely try to deny liability in a road rage accident because their policies only cover “negligence.” They may say that willful acts of aggression are not covered. But if the driver was otherwise distracted, impaired, or recklessly driving, then that driver may be found liable for negligence.
When you file a claim against an aggressive driver, you may be awarded compensation for damages you may have suffered as a result of the accident, including:
Ways to demonstrate that you deserve compensation include keeping all bills, receipts, and pay stubs to document your costs, and getting testimonies from friends and family members about how the accident has affected your life and mental health. Of course, the best way to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve is by hiring a skilled, experienced Virginia aggressive driver accident lawyer to fight for you and your case.
