(877) 880-4090Most of us have probably encountered another driver on the road who may have offended or annoyed us. Busy schedules and the frustrations of everyday life can put pressure on anyone behind the wheel. Yet, when drivers act on feelings of irritation and operate their vehicles in an unsafe way, they allow their emotions to drive, not their logic. In fact, some drivers may not even realize their actions are aggressive.
Aggressive driving often leads to serious car accidents that cause permanent injuries or even death. Sadly, aggressive driving contributed to 9,478 deaths in the United States in 2019. Victims of aggressive driving may be left struggling with costly medical bills and long-term trauma.

Many think that aggressive driving is the same as road rage, yet the intent and legal consequences of either behavior may differ in each state. Generally, aggressive driving refers to dangerous driving behavior that endangers other persons or property. An aggressive driver may commit a combination of moving traffic offenses, such as speeding while running a red light.
Although it is often interconnected with aggressive driving, road rage usually involves angry and violent behavior with the intent to harm a person or a person’s property. In many states, road rage is classed as a criminal offense and a motorist may be fined or even imprisoned if convicted.

If you have suffered harm due to the aggressive behavior of another driver, we can help you explore the financial recovery options available. Many accident victims are unaware of the types of compensation they might be able to recover. Unlike insurance adjusters who try to undervalue a victim’s suffering, we carefully consider both the economic and non-economic damages our client has suffered.
Economic damages refer to compensation for financial losses caused by your injuries. These damages are financial costs that can be calculated and proven by receipts and proof of expenses.
Some types of economic damages include:
Non-economic damages include compensation for the physical, mental, and emotional pain caused by the accident. These types of damages are more difficult to calculate, as they do not come with a price tag. However, an experienced lawyer can help you seek fair compensation for your suffering.

Many car accident victims must deal with mounting medical bills and lost wages, so they might be eager to accept the first insurance settlement offer given to them. However, most insurance companies do not have the victim’s best interests in mind and want to pay out as little as possible.

When Fielding Law takes on a case, we deal with insurance companies on your behalf, negotiating for the maximum settlement amount we can get for you. We keep our clients informed and we only accept an offer that fairly reflects the damages you have suffered.
While most cases are settled out of court, if the settlement amount is not reasonable, our lawyers will be prepared to take your case to trial and fight for every dollar you deserve. Our priority is your success, so we will only go to court when we believe we can win your case.
