Aggressive driving has been known to cause incidents of road rage and devastating collisions. If you suffered debilitating injuries caused by another motorist’s aggressive driving, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.
However, navigating the claims process when you are attempting to heal from your injuries can be a lot to handle. Fortunately, when you have a Madison aggressive driving attorney at the Morris Bart law firm backing you up, you can seek compensation while focusing on your health. Our car accident lawyers can handle the entire legal process for you.
Recovering Compensation After an Aggressive Driving Accident
You can seek compensation in a couple of different ways. You may begin by filing an insurance claim, or you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party. Either way, our Madison aggressive driving team can help.
Insurance Claims and Civil Lawsuits
After being involved in an aggressive driving accident, you may have the opportunity to file a claim with the aggressive driver’s insurance company. Alabama is a fault state for auto insurance purposes. When you file a claim with their insurer, you may be able to get certain types and amounts of damages covered.
For instance, bodily injury liability coverage will cover the costs of your medical expenses. However, if the liable party only purchased $50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage, and your medical bills are greater than $100,000, you could easily expect to have remaining medical expenses after your settlement.
For this reason, you should always be prepared to bring your case to court. After all, if the aggressive driver who hit you does not have auto insurance coverage, the only way to get them to pay you may be by filing a lawsuit against them.
Types of Recoverable Damages
Your aggressive driving accident case could warrant a variety of damages. Examples of such economic damages and non-economic damages could include:
- Property damage
- Vehicle repair costs
- Medical expenses
- Medical equipment costs
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Diminished quality of life
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Our legal team can gather various documents to demonstrate your losses so we can go after fair compensation. We may use your medical records and wage statements to get an idea of how much to go after. We may also consult expert witnesses, such as medical professionals, to determine your future accident-related losses.
The last thing you want is to leave money on the negotiating table and be left to foot the bill later down the road. We will make an accurate accounting of your current and future losses so we seek exactly what you deserve.

Important Deadlines For Your Aggressive Driving Accident Case
Following a collision with an aggressive driver, you may have a limited amount of time to get your case started. If you are filing a lawsuit, the statute of limitations generally requires you to file your personal injury lawsuit within two years, according to Ala. Code § 6-2-38.
However, as with any case, there are always exceptions to the rule. There may be certain exceptions in your case that shorten the amount of time you have to file your lawsuit. We can help you meet this requirement and work to streamline your case as much as possible.
