Were you or a family member involved in a car accident in Port Charlotte? If the accident occurred because the at-fault driver was changing lanes without signaling or was encroaching on your lane of travel, you could have the basis of a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit for financial recovery.
Drivers are entitled to the full use of their lane of traffic without crowding. They are also required to use their turn signals to alert other drivers to their intent to merge, exit, or otherwise change lanes. When a driver changes their lane or travels improperly, they can create a chain of reactions that lead to dangerous car accidents.
A Port Charlotte improper lane changes lawyer can help you hold the at-fault driver financially responsible for their actions. Start building a solid case for financial compensation by calling 1-800-747-3733 to reach the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine.
Start Assessing the Total Cost of Your Injuries Right Away
After you or a loved one is injured by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to have the at-fault driver or his insurance provider compensate you for the cost of your injuries. When you are ready to pursue the other driver for your accident-related expenses, the first thing you should do is assign a total value to your claim.
Because the expenses created by a car accident can be extensive and ongoing, valuing your claim starts with the medical care you receive at the scene of the accident and the damage the accident causes to your vehicle. Each accident victim’s expenses and losses will vary. Your recoverable damages can include:
- Medical expenses until your full recovery
- Lost income for the time you cannot work
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress
- Physical disfigurement and disability

Car Accident Injuries Can Cost More Than Money
A car accident in Port Charlotte can do more than injure you physically. It can also leave you unable to manage your own daily needs or return to work to support yourself and your family. The unexpectedness of a violent collision can also lead to psychological trauma that has long-term consequences.
The physical, mental, and emotional aftermath of a car accident can create its own set of expenses. Necessary medical care after a car accident can include long-term counseling and physical, psychological, and occupational therapies. If your injuries require one or more of these forms of treatment, they should be covered by the at-fault driver and his insurance company.
You may be entitled to receive all the treatments required for a full recovery. When you are ready to pursue the at-fault driver and his insurance provider, we are ready to advocate for the compensation you deserve.
We Can Help Prove Fault for the Collision
Changing lanes improperly is dangerous and can sometimes be the result of aggression. In fact, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports include improper passing and failing to maintain lanes as forms of aggressive driving.
Changing lanes improperly can cause another car to collide with yours, which can lead to dangerous physical injuries and a growing stack of medical bills. A Port Charlotte improper lane changes lawyer can help you prove the cause of the accident and help you get started collecting the financial compensation you deserve.
To help prove fault and assign financial liability, we start by listening to your account of the accident. After we hear your version of events, we will:
- Read and review your crash report
- Read and review your medical records
- Interview witnesses to the accident
- Scrutinize police investigative notes
We can also use photos of your car to prove points of impact and your medical records to prove your injuries. Our team will work hard to prove fault in the accident and to ensure you are compensated for your medical bills, lost business or employment income, and other expenses and losses created by the collision.
File Your Compensation Claim Without Delay
Preparing a claim for financial compensation is time-consuming and complex. The process can involve gathering records, proving fault, assigning liability, and valuing your claim. The time it takes to prepare and file a lawsuit is limited by § 95.11 of the Florida Statutes which generally limits the allotted time to four years.
The cost of treating your injuries and recovering your injury-related expenses should come from the at-fault driver, not from you or your family. If the time you have to file a lawsuit runs out, you could be left to carry the financial consequences of the car accident. Contact our team as soon as you can post-emergency room visit, in order to ensure you do not inadvertently jeopardize your compensation claim.

A Port Charlotte improper lane changes lawyer can show you how to hold the at-fault driver financially responsible for the full cost of the accident.
