One of the big challenges with lane change accidents is that it can be difficult to prove exactly what happened. In many cases, the person who has hit another vehicle is presumed to be the at-fault driver. With lane change accidents, however, it is common for the at-fault driver to cause an accident in such a way that other drivers are the drivers who hit other vehicles. For example, a driver may pull out in front of another vehicle when changing lanes. Because of that driver’s negligence, the vehicle behind them may not have enough time to stop and may cause a rear end shunt accident.

Police on the scene may assume that the driver who hit the negligent driver was the at-fault driver, when in fact it was the driver's incorrect changing of lanes that led to the collision. If another driver swerved out of the way of the collision, they may have caused additional or secondary accidents. Again, the driver who changed lanes incorrectly is the one who should be held liable for the accident and any injury sustained. Unfortunately, that driver may claim that others were the cause of the accident. In many cases, it takes a thorough and effective investigation to find out exactly what has happened.
