Raton Aggressive Driving Lawyer
Across the United States and throughout New Mexico, instances of road rage are becoming more and more common. Reckless and aggressive drivers are often the cause of severe and even fatal accidents. At the Law Office of Matthew Vance, P.C., clients trust me, attorney Matthew Vance, with their personal injury cases. I have years of experience handling all types of car accident cases, including those caused by incidents of road rage or just simply reckless drivers.
I provide clients with tailored representation in cases where they have been injured by a reckless driver or one with road rage. By intentionally cutting you off, getting out of his or her car and attempting to hit you or your car, or engaging in other intentional and harmful behavior, another driver becomes liable for the damages to you and your car.
Reckless driving and aggressive driving can lead to serious car accidents. These accidents in turn can leave the victims with life-altering injuries. I represent the rights of clients who have sustained injuries such as:
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Lacerations and abrasions
Punitive Damages in Road Rage Cases
In addition to seeking compensation for lost wages and medical expenses, you may be able to seek punitive damages against an aggressive or reckless driver who caused a car accident or truck accident. This is an amount of money that is awarded to you in order to punish the other driver for the intentional and willfully malicious acts against you.
In some cases, the aggressive driver may be charged with a crime. Assault, battery and other charges may be leveled if, in fact, the other driver can be identified and arrested. So in addition to filing a civil lawsuit against him or her for punitive damages, you may also be called to support the prosecution in a criminal defense case.
You do not have to accept the consequences of the maliciousness displayed by a reckless, aggressive or abusive driver. To discuss your rights, contact me online or by phone at (505) 242-6267.
