We Will Gather Compelling Evidence to Fight for Your Compensation
It is not enough to simply claim the other driver was at fault—we will need to show compelling evidence of the other driver’s negligence.
There are numerous pieces of evidence that could be used as leverage when negotiating a settlement agreement or when taking a case to court, including:
- Photographic evidence. Photos of the scene of the accident or the damaged vehicles could be invaluable to your case. These photos could corroborate your claims by highlighting that the positioning of or the damage to the vehicles is consistent with the other driver making an unsafe lane change.
- Video evidence. Arguably the strongest evidence available is video of the accident itself. We might be able to obtain video evidence from a traffic camera or a security camera from a nearby business.
- Medical records. Your medical records are important evidence in your claim, even if they do not establish negligence directly. That is because demonstrating that you have suffered clear damages is a vital part of the claims process. Your medical records could establish the amount of compensation you deserve based on your medical bills and your pain and suffering.
- Accident reports. Accident reports issued by the responding police officer are valuable for a number of reasons. First, they might indicate that the other driver admitted to fault in the accident. Second, they could list the identity and contact information of any witnesses to the crash. Third, these reports often include a helpful diagram of the accident scene.
- Witness statements. Short of recorded video of the crash, the statement from an independent witness is another important piece of evidence in these cases. We can work to gather witness statements while everyone’s memory of the accident is still fresh in mind.
Ultimately, we will work to uncover evidence in your unsafe lane change accident case in Decatur. We will begin this process immediately when you start working with us. You can get started with your case today.

State Laws Regarding Unsafe Lane Changes
It is unlawful to make an unsafe lane change in Georgia. According to OCGA §40-6-48, it is a violation to change lanes without first ensuring it is a good time to do so. The statute also applies to motorists that weave back and forth between lanes or change lanes without first ensuring there is no traffic in their path.
A conviction for unsafe lane changes could be used as evidence of negligence. Showing an insurer or a jury that the other driver was convicted of an unsafe lane change shortly before causing your accident could be powerful evidence in your favor.
