Lane Drifting Accident Lawyer

Lane drifting accidents occur when a driver crosses the center line or exits the lane they were traveling in. This often happens on highways or main roadways where motorists are traveling at high rates of speed due to a momentary lapse in attention which can occur for a number of reasons. Lane drifting accidents are frequently severe, and the resulting injuries and damages are often devastating.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Causes of Lane Drifting Accidents

A large portion of lane drifting accidents are due to a truck driver being distracted. This could be due to texting, talking on a cell phone, or checking emails, as well as eating, drinking, playing with the radio or using GPS systems. When a truck driver takes their eyes away from the road for even a short period of time, it can be catastrophic.

According to a recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), another common cause of lane drifting accidents are due to the truck driver being incapacitated in some manner, including:

• Drowsy driving or falling asleep;
• Medical emergencies such as diabetic shock, heart attack, seizure, or stroke;
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, including prescription medications.

Determining Liability in Lane Drifting Accidents

Some lane drifting accidents are clearly outside of the control of the truck driver. If, for example, a truck driver had a sudden heart attack, the courts may not find that driver liable for damages they caused. However, if it can be shown that a truck driver demonstrated negligent or reckless behavior that caused a lane drifting accident, such as driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications, they can be held liable for those actions, even if they were unconscious at the time of the accident.

The truck driver’s employer may also be held liable for the actions of their driver, especially if the driver was pressured into driving longer than legal regulations allow, the driver was allowed to drive after not passing a DOT physical, or the driver was not properly trained.

If you or a loved one was injured in a lane drifting accident, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to review your case and determine what damages you may be entitled to.
