Road rage incidents are cropping up more and more frequently in news reports. Most of these incidents affect innocent people unacquainted with the perpetrator by business or social ties. You might find your self in a situation where you need to know what to do after encountering an enraged driver.

  • First, don’t aggravate the situation. If you have a chance to avoid confrontation or conflict, do so.
  • If you suffer an accident because of enraged driver, call authorities immediately. Try to read the license plate number, but don’t confront or approach an enraged driver. A confrontation could prove deadly.
  • Obtain medical treatment for any injuries as soon as possible.
  • Hire an experienced Houston injury attorney to help you recover just financial compensation for the harm you suffered.
