How the State of Georgia Defines Road Rage
According to the Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS), road rage causes serious accidents that leave accident victims fearful and anxious. It defines road rage and aggressive driving as:
- Yelling profanities at other drivers
- Making obscene gestures at other drivers
- Aggressively honking your horn in anger
- Speeding or tailgating other vehicles
- Making potentially dangerous lane changes
- Ignoring traffic signs and signals
- Flashing your headlights at other cars
These behaviors can be frightening and may cause dangerous collisions. If this happened to you or someone you love, our Smyrna car accident attorney can help. We will prove these enraged actions caused the accident and fight hard to recover your compensation.

Compensation We Recover for Road Rage Accident Victims
If another driver’s aggressive actions caused your car accident, we will hold them financially accountable. We can request two types of compensation for you. Economic damages can typically be documented with bills, estimates, receipts, and invoices. They often include:
- Past and future medical bills including emergency room treatment, hospital admissions, assistive medical devices, medications, and treatment-related travel expenses
- Income loss for time away from work during your recovery and the loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage or destruction if your car is declared a total loss
You can also recover a variety of non-economic damages including physical impairment and disfigurement. They also include pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our legal team will compile the evidence we need to substantiate your non-economic damages.

Your Right to Recover Damages Has a Mandatory Filing Deadline
It is never too soon after an accident to call our law firm. The sooner we get involved in your case, the more time we have to investigate. Early involvement means we can track the state’s filing deadlines and protect your right to compensation from a lapsed statute of limitations. According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33:
- You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit
- You generally have two years from the date of a loved one’s passing to file your wrongful lawsuit
The filing deadlines can fluctuate, making compliance difficult on your own.
Getting us involved right from the start also allows us to interview witnesses while their memories are fresh and consult accident reconstructionists. We will collect time-sensitive evidence on your behalf.

Our Road Rage Accident Attorney Will Prove the At-Fault Party’s Liability

- Duty: The at-fault driver owed you a legal duty of care.
- Breach: The at-fault driver breached their required duty, in this case by driving aggressively.
- Causation: Their actions caused your accident and injuries.
- Damages: Your accident resulted in financial losses.
To document these elements, we build a strong evidence file that supports your right to compensation. The majority of personal injury cases like yours are settled without going to court.
