What to do if you side swiped a car
A sideswipe accident happens when two cars traveling in the same direction make contact, usually when one driver tries to change lanes. If you’ve ever been in this situation, you know it can be stressful and confusing.
One of the trickiest parts is figuring out who was at fault. Determining fault is essential to insurance claims and compensation. It’s easy to get into a “he said, she said” situation, which is why having solid evidence is so important.
This guide will walk you through the common causes of sideswipe accidents, how to determine who’s liable, the steps you should take immediately after the incident, and why talking to a lawyer can be a smart move.
