Car accidents are not pleasant, and if another driver who doesn’t have the right of way suddenly pulls out in front of you, their negligent actions risk causing an accident. An example of this is someone pulling out of a driveway. When a driver exits a driveway, they must exercise care and yield to oncoming traffic. Suppose you’re driving down a residential speed at the posted speed limit and are also keeping your eyes on the road. Another driver quickly whips out of their driveway without warning, and you are unable to react quickly enough to avoid hitting them. In this case, the other driver will be liable for your injuries and damage to your car. You have the right of way when traveling down a road unencumbered by stop signs or red lights, which means that any vehicle that enters your lane must only pull into traffic when it’s safe to do so and adhere to all traffic signs and signals. When another driver pushes into your lane, you can hold the negligent driver liable for failing to yield the right of way and the cost of your losses. Consulting a car accident lawyer with experience dealing with cases like yours will give you the greatest chance at receiving the full and fair compensation you need to recover as soon as possible. A driver who pulls out in front of you may be liable for: Failing to use their turn signal Being drunk or tired Pulling out in front of you at a high or low speed Intentionally causing the accident Being distracted and not paying attention to the road Pulling into traffic from a driveway or alley when it is unsafe Driving through a stop sign or red light Failing to yield to oncoming traffic Pulling out in front of you because of road rage Crossing in front of you and slamming their brakes Smartphone use
