How Does Aggressive Driving Cause Car Accidents?

Aggressive driving is among the leading causes of auto accidents. Because so many people here in NYC are in a rush, aggressive driving is incredibly common. If you were injured by an aggressive driver, please read on and speak with a seasoned Bronx car accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Richard M. Kenny to learn more about how our legal team can help. Here are some of the questions you may have:

What are some examples of aggressive driving?

Aggressive driving comes in a variety of forms, but all are very dangerous and often lead to very serious accidents. Some of the most common examples of aggressive driving are as follows:

  • Exceeding the speed limit
  • Cutting other drivers off
  • Gesturing, honking, or yelling at other drivers
  • Flashing lights at other drivers
  • Trying to beat traffic lights before they turn red
  • Running stop signs
  • Blowing through crosswalks
  • Tailing other drivers too closely

What should I do if I’m hurt by an aggressive driver?

If you’re hurt in an accident caused by an aggressive driver, you should take the following steps to maximize your chances of winning a personal injury claim:

  • Call the police.
  • Take pictures.
  • Get witness contact information.
  • Seek medical treatment.
  • Keep medical documentation associated with your injuries.
  • Speak with an NYC personal injury attorney who can work to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim on your behalf.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in NYC?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York City is, traditionally, three years, giving accident victims three years from the date their accident occurred to sue for their injuries. Don’t make the mistake of waiting to sue. Speak with a competent attorney as soon as you can. The quicker you reach out, the quicker we can get working on your case and pursuing the financial compensation you deserve and need to heal.
