Aggressive Driving Increases Accident Risk Significantly
Encountering aggressive drivers on the road is not uncommon. Many behaviors may qualify as aggressiveness behind the wheel. Unfortunately, these careless and reckless actions can cause serious and even devastating injuries.
Aggressive driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is any driving behavior that “endangers or is likely to endanger” those sharing the road with the driver. In other words, these are risky behaviors behind the wheel that increase the likelihood of an accident. This could include:
- Excessive speeding, including both exceeding the marked speed limit and driving too fast for conditions.
- Running red lights and stop signs or disobeying other traffic rules.
- Tailgating.
- Cutting someone off or intentionally failing to yield.
- Boxing in other motorists, preventing them from passing.
- Excessive or aggressive lane changes between vehicles.
- Street racing.
- Purposefully intimidating other drivers.
If you suffered serious injuries and believe the driver who caused your accident was exhibiting one or more of these behaviors, you have options. You may be able to build an aggressive driving accident case against them and hold them accountable for their actions.

There Is a Deadline on Filing a Bradenton Lawsuit
Even with strong evidence that the at-fault driver was engaged in aggressive driving behaviors that caused your accident, you must act before the statute of limitations runs out. Under Florida Statute § 95.11, if you do not file your lawsuit within two years for a personal injury case and 2 years for a death case, the court will bar you from compensation. You will lose the right to file a lawsuit and hold the aggressive driver responsible, even if your injuries previously qualified you to take legal action.
At Distasio Law Firm, our committed lawyers attempt to reach an out-of-court settlement in these cases. However, we still need to ensure that you retain the right to file a lawsuit in the event that we cannot reach a just settlement without a lawsuit.
