Generally, in accidents involving lane changes, it is more difficult to determine who is liable. For example, Driver C is driving behind Driver B, and Driver A is in the lane to the left. Driver A makes a swift lane change but fails to provide a safe distance. Driver B crashes into Driver A, and Driver C crashes into Driver B. In this case, Driver A is again liable for damages.
In some cases, however, the car that crashes into the car making a lane change could be at fault. For example, if Driver B was excessively speeding and couldn’t slow down when Driver A made a safe lane change, they could be held liable for the crash.
