Can you be sued for inappropriate lane change by other motorist?

No, if you didn't cause an accident there is no reason to sue you.  If a cop didn't see you most likely you will not get a ticket.\n\nWhat I mean is, if a cop saw you make an illegal lane change they can send you a ticket in the mail.  If no one saw you then you will not get a ticket.

No it isn't.They will stop you for it though because as mentioned it affects your vision outside the car.\nI was stopped by a hiway patrol because he said I traveled to far in the inside lane on the hiway and that my wife had the interior light on for reading which was illegal.\nI beat both tickets in court because neither one was considered illegal by the Dept.of Rev.

Firstly, a point of clarification -- despite popular belief one is not "automatically" at fault for rear-ending someone.  I have no idea where this myth got started but there is no such presumption in the law (at least not in California.)\n\nOther than that, a determination of liability is not so cut and dry.  In your case, it sounds like your liability may be minimal.  Under what is know as the "imminent peril" doctrine, you would not necessarily be liable because you were initiating emergency manuevers.  Your standard of care is lowered in that case.  \n\nBut, this certainly won't stop someone from suing you.  But you shouldn't worry.  If you have insurance, your insurance company will hire an attorney for you and protect your rights.  \n\nHonestly, I wouldn't stress about it too much.  Unless you don't have insurance, in which case you should talk to a lawyer A.S.A.P.

You got me for Michigan.  In PA it is around $120.\n\nThey moving violation is either for "Failure to Stop", or "Failure to yield right of way".\n\nYou have to stop, and you have to not get in the way of another car that has the green light.  Don't do that and that turn was not legal.

Let someone else drive it or you could have is hauled.

Hopefully, this is a better answer. Always find the deep pockets. You can sue the motorist for not having enough coverage. (for the balance) Chances are, you will pay hell trying to collect. You can sue the insurance company for not mandating proper coverage. If the driver was drinking, you can sue the institution(s) for serving him/her. If the vehicle of the other motorist was faulty, you can sue the last person that did maintenance, or the dealer and the manufacturer (if the car was still under warranty) Maybe the motorist did not have proper coverage if he or she was still paying on the vehicle, then, you have the bank for not following up, the insurance company, and the motorist.\nRemember, find the big pockets.

If she was on private property the situation may possibly be different in some states from on a public street. Also, in most states (but not necessarily all, see the Calif. case at http://snurl.com/uninsuredalien ) one is not necessarily barred from suing just because s/he her/himself is uninsured. But it's illegal to drive uninsured. \n\nAnd it shouldn't be possible: your car's tags are canceled in many states; your insurance agent has to report the non-renewal to you and to the DMV in those states.\n\nIt would be wise to see an experienced auto crash and moving violation lawyer to sort this out. You can't/shouldn't do it by yourself. There are hospital bills to be paid.\n\nIf you don't know any lawyers DON'T use the Yellow Pages. Go down to court and spend an hour listening to cases (DUI, etc.; also civil cases from accidents). Talk to lawyers and their clients. Pick a lawyer that way.

That depends on what kind of accident it was. If the accident was caused by a policeman being negligent then the guy can sue the county in tort for the damages suffered.\nIf the Policemen was CRIMINALLY negligent(he maliciously disregarded the rules of safety) he may be punished for reckless endangerment.

Not having your own insurance to go after the other drivers insurance is always difficult.  You may need to hire an insurance lawyer.  If you have the police report that states the other driver was at fault, then you are in the right.  It sounds like the other driver has a shady insurance company.  Probably one of those last chance places that will insure anybody.  His insurance should have repaired your car by now.  Have you told the insurance company that you have the police report?  If you have, and they have not responded to you, you need to obtain the services of a lawyer right away.  You can always include your legal fees in the settlement with the insurance company.

You can call the County Attorney's office in your county and speak with someone about the guidelines. Also you could plead not guilty in court and hire a private attorney to investigate into the matter of the legality of the roadblock. Could be pricey but it'll get you out of the ticket if you could prove that it was illegal.

It depends on the situation.  If a person was going too fast and couldn't stop, it's their fault.  If it was truly an accident on both sides then they should exchange insurance information and move on.

This is a case of "no harm, no foul". If there really was no damage to the other car, then you did not harm the owner in any way, and have nothing to confess!

Friendly reminder also that your bright lights are blinding me.  Hasn't it become a traffic law in some states that if you aren't traveling at the speed limit you should move over allowing others doing the speed limit to pass?

I would stop and give my name and phone number to the person that was the victim, many times we think something is clear as a bell but, it is not and many people will try anything these days to get out of trouble. Injuries that show up later are real and in some cases the person in the vehicle has actually turned around and sued the pedestrian for damaging their car.
