Determining Liability in a Sideswipe Car Accident

Proving liability in a Florida sideswipe accident can be challenging, especially if the drivers disagree about who is responsible. While every accident has unique circumstances, many sideswipe accidents are caused by similar examples of driver negligence, including the following:

Failing to check blind spots before changing lanes;
Distracted driving causing drivers to drift into adjacent lanes;
Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
Road rage or reckless driving;
Failing to use your turn signal;
Ignoring another driver merging into the same lane;
Hydroplaning on wet roads.

Your attorney will meticulously investigate your case to collect evidence and establish liability for your accident. A few pieces of evidence your attorney may employ include the following:

Police reports;
Photos and videos of the accident scene;
Witness statements;
Testimonies from accident reconstructionists.

At Marsalisi Law, we understand there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sideswipe accidents, and we will personalize our services to address your specific situation.

Damages You May Be Eligible to Collect Through a Sideswipe Accident Claim

Sideswipe accidents can leave victims with significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve monetary compensation for the full extent of your injuries and other losses. At Marsalisi Law, our attorneys may be able to help you pursue a car accident claim for the following damages:

Current and future medical expenses;
Lost wages and earning potential;

Shortly after your accident, you may be contacted by the insurance company and offered a low initial settlement.

Before signing a settlement agreement, contact an experienced attorney to protect your rights, interests, and the total amount of monetary compensation available for your losses.
