%
of traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive driving
Did you know that 66% of traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive driving. Road rage—it’s a dangerous and often violent reality that can lead to serious injuries and legal battles. If you’ve been the victim of an aggressive driver, you may be dealing with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. At Foley & Murphy, we understand how devastating these incidents can be, and we’re here to help you pursue justice.
Understanding Road Rage Incidents
When another driver’s aggression escalates into reckless or violent actions, the consequences can be severe. Road rage-related accidents can result in:
- Serious injuries or fatalities
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages due to time off work
Unlike typical car accidents, road rage incidents often involve intentional acts of harm. This means that in addition to personal injury claims, criminal charges may also be involved.
Your Legal Options After a Road Rage Incident
If you’ve been injured or suffered damages due to a road rage incident, you may have legal options, including:
Filing a Personal Injury Claim
You can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Pursuing a Civil Lawsuit
If the at-fault driver engaged in intentional misconduct, you may be entitled to punitive damages.
Holding the Aggressor Accountable
While law enforcement handles criminal charges, your legal case can benefit from a conviction or guilty plea.
Why Legal Representation Matters
Dealing with insurance companies and legal claims after a road rage incident can be overwhelming. Unlike standard accidents, road rage cases often involve disputes over intent and liability. An experienced attorney can:
- Gather evidence, including dashcam footage and witness statements
- Work with law enforcement and prosecutors if criminal charges are involved
- Negotiate with insurance companies to maximize your compensation
- Represent you in court if a lawsuit becomes necessary
