North Miami Unsafe Lane Changing Accidents

Unfortunately, when drivers are negligent and make lane changes without checking blind spots for oncoming traffic or make lane changes where it is illegal to do so, it is often innocent drivers sharing the road with them that pay the price. In these types of traffic accidents in North Miami and other Florida communities, it is often not the at-fault driver who sustains serious and even permanent injury.

Lane Change Accidents Often Lead to Fatalities

There are many reasons why unsafe lane changes are so deadly:

• These types of driving maneuvers are unexpected, often meaning that surrounding drivers don't have enough time to act quickly to avoid the crash
• These types of accidents can quickly become chain reaction accidents as other motorists swerve out of the way instinctively, potentially hitting other vehicles
• These types of accidents often cause panic due to their unexpected nature, causing drivers to slam on their brakes, which can lead to secondary accidents
• They often occur on highways and other high-speed areas, where people are changing lanes in order to pass, and when speed is a factor it can increase the force of impact, leading to more dangerous accidents

Single Vehicle Lane Change Collisions

Some lane change accidents are actually single vehicle collisions. What happens is one vehicle will make an unsafe lane change and another car will swerve out of the way or will attempt to brake in order to avoid impact. That car can then careen out of control, rollover, or be involved in a crash with a guardrail, telephone pole, or other solid object.

In these cases, it can be more challenging to prove to the insurance company that there was an at-fault driver or that an unsafe lane change led to the collision. A personal injury attorney in North Miami or your Florida community often needs to work with accident reconstruction experts, expert witnesses, and investigators who can get the details of the situation from witnesses. A personal injury attorney in this case could help ensure that maxim compensation is sought and that the at-fault driver is held liable for their negligence.
