Albany Aggressive Driving Accident Lawyers

Albany car accident victims who suffered serious injuries because of an aggressive driver may be able to pursue a fault-based claim and recover additional damages. An Albany aggressive driving accident lawyer from Morelli Law Firm represents people who are hurt in collisions and need legal help navigating the claims process. You might be able to file a third-party liability insurance claim if this happened to you.

The Morelli Law Firm team will review and assess your Albany traffic accident case. We can determine if you can take legal action against the at-fault driver during this free consultation. Call (212) 751-9800 today to get started.

Aggressive Driving Behaviors Are Often Illegal and Always Dangerous

While no law directly addresses aggressive driving in New York, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) defines the action in its driver’s manual. According to this manual, some aggressive driving acts include speeding, quick lane changes, improper lane changes without a signal, passing illegally, blocking traffic flow, running stop signs or signals, driving while impaired, and more.

Many of these actions are illegal on their own, and they may also fall under the state’s reckless driving statute, New York Vehicle & Traffic Law (VAT) §1212. Drivers who cause an accident because of one or more of these behaviors could face traffic infractions or even criminal charges.

While a criminal case will hold the driver accountable, a civil case can repay the victim for their losses. While New York has a system that allows those injured in crashes to file a claim and recover damages from their Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, some victims also have the opportunity to hold the at-fault driver responsible through a liability claim or civil lawsuit.

To learn if your case may support legal action to pursue pain and suffering damages and additional losses beyond your no-fault coverage, reach out to Morelli Law Firm. We assess aggressive driving car accident cases for potential clients hurt in this collision type at no cost. Dial (212) 751-9800 to get started right away with your consultation.

Our service areas include New York State, New York City, Long Island, northern New Jersey, and Philadelphia.

How the Morelli Law Firm Team Can Help Albany Accident Victims

When an Albany aggressive driving accident lawyer from Morelli Law Firm represents an accident victim, our team works to:

  • Understand their case
  • Answer their questions
  • Communicate with them about the process
  • Prove the severity of their injuries
  • Gather evidence to support their claim
  • Take steps to secure a financial recovery based on their damages

We believe victims of accidents should not be left paying for their injuries or damages out of their pockets. Instead, the aggressive driver whose bad behavior caused the accident should be responsible when the law allows. We know how New York State defines “serious” injuries and how to identify other exceptions to the no-fault law and act on those exceptions for our clients.

We partner with experts, including medical professionals, economists, and accident reconstruction specialists, to develop a case that will support a third-party auto claim based on the aggressive driver’s liability car insurance policy. If we cannot reach a fair settlement out of court, we may prepare the paperwork and take the case to trial to seek justice on the client’s behalf.

Seeking and Securing Damages Following an Albany Traffic Collision

For victims who suffer minor or moderate injuries and do not miss an extended time at work, pursuing compensation through their PIP policy allows for quick payment of their bills and eligible damages with no work to prove fault or liability.

When injuries are serious, there are permanent impairments, or the victim misses a lot of time away from work, filing a third-party liability insurance claim may be beneficial. A fault-based claim allows you to seek additional damages and hold the aggressive driver responsible for their bad behavior. You could recover additional lost wages, related benefits and expenses, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. There are no non-economic damages available through a PIP claim and limits on other types of losses.

Time Limits on Taking Action in Your Car Accident Case in Albany

You will need to be aware of several filing deadlines as you get to work on your Albany car accident case. There are deadlines for notifying your insurer about your accident, deadlines for filing your compensation claim, and a statute of limitations on filing a civil suit against the aggressive driver who hit you.

While the time limit for your PIP claim will likely be days after the accident, New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214 gives most accident victims three years to begin an injury lawsuit in the appropriate civil court.

While there is no deadline for contacting our team, keep in mind that we need to investigate the accident and gather evidence that supports your allegations before we can file a claim or lawsuit against the aggressive driver. Call us as soon as your injuries allow you, as we may be able to get started right away.
