All drivers of motor vehicles in Rhode Island and Massachusetts have the responsibility to avoid lane violations and drive responsibly and attentively. This includes staying within your lane of travel, making the proper signals before changing lanes and changing lanes only after checking to make sure there are no vehicles in the way.

Car accidents in RI and MA caused by drivers who fail to stay in their lane of travel or commit other types of lane violations may give rise to a claim for damages against the other motor vehicle driver.

A lane violation is negligence and such malfeasance  causing injury can lead to a claim for damages. If you have been injured in this type of automobile accident in RI or trucking accident, contact an experienced East Providence personal injury attorney to learn what can be done.

Negligence- lane Violation

best-personal-injury-lawyer-riIn some cases, you may have a claim for money damages against the other driver. To be successful in a claim for damages, you must be able to show that the other driver was negligent by committing a lane violation and that the lane violation caused your injuries. Often, when a lane violation is committed, there are written traffic rules which can help prove negligence. If given the opportunity, make sure to request that the driver be cited for the lane violation by the local authorities. Involving the RI or MA police is also important because an officer will make a report about the incident, which will help preserve information and evidence.

Seek medical treatment for your injuries

If you suffer injuries in a lane violation accident in Rhode island or Massachusetts, seek out immediate medical treatment. Make sure to describe all of your injuries and pains to the doctor, so you will receive the appropriate treatment. This will also document your symptoms to assist in proving the injury elements of your claim against the driver. Seek out consistent and continuing medical treatment after the accident, especially if additional medical issues arise.

Insurance settlement

As soon as you are able, contact a Lincoln, Cumberland or Pawtucket tort attorney to learn what your legal options are against the other driver. A auto wreck attorney in Johnston, Tiverton or North providence will be able to analyze your case a create a plan of action to hold the other driver responsible. This typically will include trying to work with the other driver’s insurance company to reach a settlement. If the insurance company will not pay a reasonable amount, your Providence car crash lawyer can file a lawsuit against the other driver and pursue money damages directly from them.

Many are unaware of the types of damages that can be recovered. Most correctly assume that medical expenses can be recovered. There are also other damages applicable in many cases, such as pain and suffering, future medical expenses, property damages, and emotional distress.

If you have been injured in a lane violation car accident, contact a Rhode Island personal injury attorney immediately to protect your interests and hold the negligent driver responsible.
