What should I do if I’m assaulted or threatened in a road rage incident?
If you are assaulted or threatened in a road rage incident, your priority should be ensuring your safety. Call 911 immediately to report the incident and seek medical attention if needed.

Can I file a claim if I was injured in a road rage incident?
Yes, if you were injured in a road rage incident, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against the aggressive driver. Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and vehicle damage. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to hold the at-fault driver accountable.

What if the other driver fled the scene after a road rage incident?
If the other driver fled the scene, report the incident to law enforcement immediately and provide any details you remember, such as their license plate, vehicle make and model, or any dashcam footage. Even if the driver is not caught, you may still have legal options, including filing an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance.

Can I hold a trucking company or employer responsible if I was assaulted while on the job?
In some cases, a trucking company or employer may bear some responsibility for failing to provide a safe working environment, especially if they ignored previous safety concerns or failed to act after a known threat. If your employer’s negligence contributed to the situation, you may have grounds for a claim beyond workers’ compensation.
