Aggressive driving has been defined in different ways in different states and by different courts. It is often described as the operation of a motor vehicle in a way that endangers people or their property.

There are many ways that driving can be aggressive. Typical behavior is often thought of a “road rage.” Truck drivers may speed, cut off other cars, make rude gestures or tailgate other cars in an effort to make them go faster. This kind of driving is not only rude, but puts the lives of other drivers in jeopardy. Each year in America, aggressive driving is responsible for numerous serious injuries, including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and paralysis, as well as wrongful death.

A Critical Move: Taking Immediate Action

When handling a truck accident case, immediate action is critical to protect your interests and achieve the best possible results. Black box technology, Qualcomm devices and other on-board computer systems record important information that may have been a factor in the accident, but these must be preserved before the truck is destroyed. Logbooks must also be preserved, so that your attorneys can review a history of the driver’s actions before the crash.

At Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we also visit the scene of the truck accident, if possible. We take pictures of the skid marks and debris at the scene. With the help of accident reconstruction experts and engineers, we use this evidence to determine the speed of the truck at the time of impact and whether truck driver negligence was involved.
