Road Rage Accidents in Miami

Road Rage Accidents As comical as society makes it seem, road rage is a very serious issue and is considered a criminal offense by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). When temperatures rise and traffic delays accumulate, a typical driver may turn aggressive, resulting in a severe road rage accident on a Miami freeway. The accident may have caused injury or death. Regardless of their motive, their actions are reprehensible by law and only an experienced attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Our attorneys see victims of road rage accidents on a regular basis because they are, unsurprisingly and unfortunately, a common occurrence. We suggest contacting our team as soon as is possible to discuss your case, free of charge. We do not get paid until the case successfully resolves.

Examples of Road Rage Accidents in Miami

If you’ve been unfortunate enough to have witnessed or been a part of a road rage incident, you will know exactly how impactful such a negative experience can be. Road rage can manifest itself through a variety of ways, but it oftentimes results in an accident. According to the NHTSA, road rage is defined as: "an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of one motor vehicle on the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle or is caused by an incident that occurred on a roadway." Some examples of road rage behavior that leads to accidents are:

An action that stops traffic
Reckless lane switching
Tailgating (following closely behind) another vehicle
Cutting off other drivers
Driving aggressively while arguing or giving hand signals
Running a red light

Is Aggressive Driving Equal to Road Rage?

Although very similar scenarios, there are key differences between an aggressive driving incident and road rage. Driving aggressively is considered a traffic offense, whereas road rage is considered a criminal offense, which is much more serious. The NHTSA outlines the nuance between these two concepts as such: Aggressive driving is a result of violating traffic laws and potentially putting others in danger, whereas road rage is the act of using a vehicle or weapon to intentionally assault another driver. As you can see, these concepts can overlap, which is why bringing in the aid of an experienced attorney is necessary when dealing with injuries sustained in a road rage accident in Miami. We have the background and skills to successfully pursue claims involving both aggressive driving and road rage.

Carolyn Frank and her firm represented me on a workers compensation injury case, under the defense base act. She did a excellent job from the moment I contacted her until 3 years later the case was settled. Every benefit I was entitled too, Carolyn fought hard to secure. E-mails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Definitely 5 star rating. Daniel

I can't express how grateful I am for Elizabeth Estrada, attorney, and Elizabeth Cantin, secretary, for all the hard work in order to defend me in my time of need. My lawyer and secretary spent time explaining each step and what was to be expected. Because of this I felt a part of the whole process and understood what was going on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!  Nicole D.

Attorney Elizabeth Estrada did an amazing job representing one of my family members. She is knowledgeable, genuine, trustworthy, and one of the most hard working attorneys that I know. She was readily available to assist my family member throughout the entire process. I felt confident my family was in great hands. Krystine C.

 Carolyn is very professional. Honest since the beginning of the process till the end. She set up a game plan with you at the consultation and makes it happen. Peterlee G.

My attorney, Ronald Rodman, was responsive towards my email and a great advocate on my behalf for my car accident. I highly recommend this office. I hope that I will not get in a car accident again, but if I do, I'm calling Mr. Rodman. Orlando R.
