What Is A Lane Change Accident?
A lane change accident occurs when a driver changes lanes and collides with another vehicle. Other drivers might not be able to brake or avoid the merging driver, resulting in an accident. Lane change accidents happen for the following reasons:
Road Rage
Aggressive drivers are often guilty of road rage, which happens when a driver is impatient or angry while in traffic. They can cut off other drivers or weave in and out of traffic when attempting to get to their destination.

Distracted Driving
Drivers who are not paying attention to the road are also capable of causing an improper lane change car accident. They can be texting, talking to other passengers, eating, grooming, or making phone calls, which are distractions that can cause lane change accidents.
Substance Abuse
When a driver has a BAC level that is over 0.08% or is abusing an illicit substance, this puts them at risk of hitting other drivers. This can inhibit their judgment, causing them to switch lanes when it is not safe to do so.
Speeding
Speeding drivers can also cause unsafe lane change accidents. When they are driving too fast, they might not notice other drivers moving at a slower pace and crash into them when changing lanes.
Lack of Indicator Use
Drivers who don’t use their indicators make it more difficult for other drivers to know when they are going to change lanes. This can cause an accident if the other driver gets cut off by a car suddenly and unexpectedly appearing before them.

How Can Your Attorney Prove That You’re Owed Compensation?
Drivers who cause improper lane change accidents can be held liable for their negligent behavior. This is especially because those accidents could be avoided if the driver was attentive and aware of their surroundings while being considerate to neighboring drivers. You can seek counsel from an attorney who will gather evidence to prove the other driver’s fault for the change accident.

Camera Footage
Your attorney can obtain footage from traffic or surveillance cameras to show the driver’s maneuvers before the accident. If the accident was caught on camera, they will analyze the footage to find out how the other driver caused the accident.
File A Subpoena
The other driver may have been texting while driving. Your attorney can prove this by obtaining the cellphone usage history from their phone company through a subpoena. If they were texting or using their phone, then your attorney can hold them responsible for the lane change accident.
The Police Report
Attorneys can use the information outlined in your police report to support your claim. If the police wrote a citation against the other driver, it would be mentioned.
Drug Tests
If the police issued a breathalyzer or chemical test and discovered the driver was intoxicated, your attorney can obtain this information and use it to build your case.
Driving Records
Attorneys can obtain the driving records of the other driver to reveal whether they have a pattern of driving infractions. This can help your case.
Who Is At Fault In A Lane-Change Accident?
Some lane-change accidents can be confusing with unclear information about who is to blame and result in arguments between all involved parties. The individual who first crashed into another isn’t always to blame in a lane-change accident, but rather the person who left their lane improperly. Lane-Change Accidents often result in Multi-Car Incidents, which means that there may be multiple eye-witnesses who saw the lane-changing driver making a mistake. However, if you were hit by someone doing an improper lane change but were Speeding or Distracted While Driving, this may also hold you liable for your damages.
How Can An Attorney Help Me?
A car accident attorney can investigate your lane change accident and determine fault based on the evidence involved. If you were already in your lane and following traffic laws, it is likely that the other driver is the one who will be held liable for your unsafe lane change accident. This is because it is their responsibility to check the adjacent lane before they enter it. They can’t attempt to occupy a lane that already has a vehicle present. Only in some circumstances, for example, if you were speeding, will you be held partially responsible for the lane change accident.
Attorneys collect evidence from the police report, eyewitness testimonies, photographs of the car accident scene, traffic camera footage, and more. It is their duty to make sure that you have a strong case against the other driver so that you can obtain maximum compensation. Attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, so you won’t have to pay upfront. You only pay the law firm once you’ve received your settlement.

My wife and I were watching TV, and good day channel 5 featured Mr. Todd Henningsen, injury attorney and he was actually giving advice for FREE....We took that as a sign, and called.

I was very impressed with their service from start to end. I will recommend them to EVERYONE I know. Thanks so much, and I wish you both much success

I would recommend to anyone! I’ve heard horror stories about various law firms and I was very skeptical in the beginning. However, I am so grateful for my experience with... read more the Henningsen Law Firm. This is actually a late review. My first experience with them was in 2018. Mrs. Tammy was my case manager and she is A1! She is very professional. Mrs. Tammy communicates thoroughly and timely which is really important when going through an emergency situation. Any time I had a question, Mrs. Tammy answered me with clear and direct answers! I had never been in an accident prior to my incident in 2018 and she gave me so much peace throughout my case. I am so glad I found them. During that time, I didn’t have any medical insurance, my car was a total loss, and suddenly it was a domino effect of unfortunate events for me such as losing my job, housing, etc...My attorney group still made sure I had the best medical care and transportation. I’d also like to mention that my settlement was reached pretty quickly compared to what I’ve been told is the norm; and it was more than enough for me to get my life back together, even after the medical bills, etc...I truly felt as if they fought for me! I’ve recently been in another accident. I didn’t even think twice before calling them again and I asked for Mrs. Tammy, lol. No offense to any other case managers because if you work with this firm, I’m sure you’re great. However, my grandma always told me “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I love Mrs. Tammy💚. I have no worries about anything. Anytime someone I know gets in an accident, I refer them to Todd Henningsen because I know they will be taken care of all the way around. He is considered a “Super Lawyer” for a reason! You would think I was on their payroll the way I talk about my experience with this firm, but it’s only because I mean it and I want to help someone else make the best decision for themselves as well! If you have any doubt, let Henningsen see you out! God bless

March 27, 2021If I ever (god forbid) have any other personal injury or know someone who does I will refer them to this firm. I cannot thank Tammy, Carmen and Mr. Henningsen... read more enough for working tirelessly and being so patient through my case. The hospitals were not competent enough to process the claims despite hours of calls, escalations and restating the policy information, but Tammy was so patient with them and me. I always felt that I had a choice in the matter and I was always given the options on how to move forward. Carmen put my mind at ease when the accident initially happened and educated me on the initial process. Thereafter Tammy was my contact and Mr. Henningsen handled things so well that I had to go and meet Tammy in person (although I could have completed things remotely). I wanted to shake her hand and look her in the eye for helping me through this. I had just missed Mr. Henningsen, but I wanted to do the same with them. He is definitely reflected in his team and they are all wonderful!
