After a Crash
What to do after an aggressive driving accident

Call 911 immediately
Report the crash and describe the other driver's behavior (tailgating, brake-checking, road rage) so it's on record from the start.

Get medical attention right away
Go to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Roseville, or the nearest ER.
- 3
Document the scene
Photograph vehicle damage, skid marks, and following distance if visible.

Other drivers who saw the aggressive behavior leading up to the crash can be decisive to your case.

Preserve evidence and follow medical treatment
Keep the vehicle available for inspection and follow your provider's plan.

FAQ
Roseville aggressive driving accident FAQs
Can I sue for road rage in California?
Yes — if the other driver's conduct was intentional or grossly reckless, you may have both a personal injury claim and, in serious cases, grounds for punitive damages.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the crash.
What if the other driver was cited for reckless driving?
A citation can support your claim, but it isn't required to prove liability — the underlying conduct is what matters.
How much does a Roseville aggressive driving accident lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — no fee unless we recover for you.
What if I was partly at fault?
California's pure comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you share some fault.
What if the driver fled the scene?
Hit-and-run cases involving aggressive driving may still be pursued through your own uninsured motorist coverage — contact us to review your options.
How long will my case take?
It depends on treatment and the insurer's response, but we prepare every file as if it will be tried.
Do you handle these cases outside of Roseville?
Yes, throughout Placer County and the greater Sacramento region.
