Road rage is a frightening and increasingly common hazard on California roads. When a driver responds to traffic frustration with aggressive or violent behavior, innocent people can be seriously injured. From brake-checking and deliberate sideswiping to physical assaults, road rage incidents can escalate quickly and leave victims with serious injuries and emotional trauma.

If you were the victim of road rage in Camarillo or on US-101 near Camarillo, our Camarillo personal injury attorneys can help you hold the aggressive driver accountable in both civil court and, if applicable, through criminal channels.

What Qualifies as Road Rage?

Road rage spans a range of aggressive behaviors, all of which can be dangerous:

• Deliberate brake-checking to force a following driver to react suddenly
• Intentional sideswiping or forcing a vehicle off the road
• Cutting off another driver to retaliate for a perceived slight
• Tailgating so aggressively that it forces the front driver to take evasive action
• Using a vehicle as a weapon to ram or strike another vehicle intentionally
• Exiting a vehicle to physically assault another driver or passenger

Road Rage on US-101 and Camarillo Streets

Road rage incidents in the Camarillo area often begin on US-101 during congested commute hours and sometimes escalate or conclude on local streets. The Camarillo Police Department and California Highway Patrol (CHP) both respond to road rage incidents. If you were a victim, report the incident to law enforcement immediately and provide a description of the aggressive driver and their vehicle.

Civil and Criminal Liability

Road rage drivers can face both criminal charges and civil liability. In your civil personal injury case, the intentional or reckless nature of the conduct may support a claim for punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. California courts recognize that when a driver acts with conscious disregard for the safety of others, punitive damages are appropriate to punish and deter that behavior.

Attorney Curt Brown works in parallel with any criminal proceedings to build the strongest possible civil case on your behalf.
