Common Causes of Lane Change Accidents
Lane change accidents can be the result of:
- Failing to signal lane change
- Failing to check for vehicles in the next lane
- Relying only on mirrors to locate vehicles in the next lane
- Moving into the lane in a way that causes following traffic to stop suddenly
- Making a lane change too quickly in poor driving conditions such as ice, snow and rain
- Crossing multiple lanes to get to an exit
The injured driver may have been forced off the road, sideswiped or involved in a direct collision with the offending vehicle. Injuries may be obviously catastrophic or may be hidden for some time.
