Aggressive Driving Accident Attorneys
Drivers have a legal obligation to operate their vehicles in a manner that is safe and responsible. When emotions get the better of us, this can often times result in aggressive driving behavior that disregards this requirement, increasing the chance of accidents and other tragic consequences as result.
If an aggressive driver in Las Vegas has caused you harm, you need to speak with a seasoned car accident attorney sooner than later. At Vegas Valley Injury Law, we help clients who have been victimized by irate drivers and help them recover for the damages they have caused.
What Is Aggressive Driving?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as occurring when “an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property.” The same government agency reports that 66% of driving-related fatalities in the United States result from road rage. This disturbing statistic highlights how the below examples of aggressive behavior behind the wheel can lead to catastrophic consequences:
- Reckless operating a vehicle
- Following too closely
- Not using a signal
- Aggressive lane changing
- Purposely cutting-off or boxing in another car on the road
- Refusing to yield
- Driving illegally on a roadway shoulder to avoid traffic
- Illegal passing
- Racing
- Ignoring traffic laws and signs
- Using high-beams to intimidate other drivers
- Gesturing and making inflammatory comments

Types of Injuries Caused by Aggressive Driving Accidents
Feeling frustration and anger behind the wheel is not uncommon or necessarily wrong, but if out of control, the accidents caused by driving aggressively can devastate lives in many ways. Depending on the circumstances of the crash, you could suffer any of the following injuries in an accident brought on by another person’s aggressive driving:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Fractures of your bones and/or skull
- Disfigurement and dismemberment
- Psychological trauma
- Internal organ damage and bleeding
- Soft tissue injuries
- Death
This list is by no means comprehensive and doesn't account for any property damage you would have suffered, as well. If you have been victimized by a driver’s aggressive conduct behind the wheel, proving their negligence is imperative and requires an experienced car accident attorney capable of gathering the facts needed to substantiate your claim.
Who Is Liable for an Accident Caused by Aggressive Driving?
Determining fault in an aggressive driving case requires an extensive investigation of all parties involved, the events leading up to the accident, and the scope of the injuries caused by the aggressor’s negligence.
To ensure that the driver who caused you harm is held accountable, you should consult with an experienced car accident attorney at Vegas Valley Injury Law as soon as you are able. Not only can we determine if the other driver's aggression substantiates a negligence claim, but we can help get you compensated for damages attributed to any of the following:
- Medical bills
- Future care

- Lost wages and/or ability to work

Review for Attorney Erick
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Working with Erick has been a true blessing. From the very beginning, he showed not only a deep knowledge of the law but also a genuine passion for helping people. He didn’t just treat my case like a number—he treated it like it mattered, and that meant the world to me. Erick is professional, dedicated, and incredibly responsive. He explained every step of the process clearly, kept me updated, and made sure I felt supported the entire time.
It’s rare to find someone who is not only amazing at what they do but who also truly cares about their clients. I’m beyond grateful for everything Erick has done for me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal representation—you’ll be in the best hands.
This is my husband's second time working with them, and they did their job professionally... I would work with them again and recommend them to future clients who want their service.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I still file a claim if the aggressive driver was uninsured?
Yes. Even if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, you may be able to recover damages through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. A qualified attorney can review your policy and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
2) How long do I have to file a lawsuit for an aggressive driving accident in Nevada?
Nevada has specific statutes of limitations for personal injury claims. Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Contacting an attorney early ensures you don’t miss critical deadlines.
3) Can I claim damages for emotional distress after an aggressive driving accident?
Yes. Emotional distress and psychological trauma caused by the accident may be included in your claim, in addition to medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Documentation from a mental health professional can strengthen your case.
4) What evidence is most important for proving an aggressive driving case?
Key evidence may include witness statements, traffic camera footage, photos of the accident scene, police reports, and any video recordings of the incident. Gathering detailed evidence helps establish the other driver’s aggressive behavior and liability.
5) Do aggressive driving accidents ever result in criminal charges?
Yes. Depending on the severity of the incident, aggressive driving can lead to traffic citations or criminal charges such as reckless driving, DUI, or vehicular assault. Civil claims for compensation are separate from any criminal proceedings.
