Cómo lidiar con el acoso de un conductor negligente

Cómo lidiar con el acoso de un conductor negligente

You survived the initial impact of the collision. Next, you survived being taken to the hospital and undergoing treatment and surgery. Finally, you are released from the hospital, only to find that you have a damaged or totaled vehicle, mounting medical bills, missed work days, and stress at home from the mess that the traffic collision caused. You survive this, and you survive the emotional distress that this is all causing. Under normal circumstances, you would still have to deal with the stress of suing the other party’s insurance company, but in some cases there is an added level of difficulty: dealing with a harassing, or even threatening, driver. Sometimes the threat to life and limb of a crash does not end where it should: on the roadside or in the hospital, but continues for days and weeks, or even months, when the other party threatens you to keep your mouth shut, to take the blame, or to not come after them financially “or else.”

¿Cuáles son las amenazas del otro conductor?

Si el otro conductor no quiere que suba la prima de su seguro, no tiene seguro ni licencia de conducir (y conducía ilegalmente) o tiene alguna otra razón para querer evitar la culpa y su responsabilidad en el accidente, cualquier amenaza que haga contra usted debe ser informado a su abogado, y potencialmente a la policía.

  • Amenazar con demandarlo nuevamente : si sabe que no tuvo la culpa, lo más probable es que no tenga nada que temer si el otro conductor amenaza con demandarlo si no retira la demanda en su contra.
  • Amenaza de usar la fuerza física en su contra : si está gravemente herido, lo último que quiere es que alguien amenace con hacerle más daño físico. Sin embargo, está en su derecho legal presentar un reclamo por lesiones personales contra la parte que cree que causó sus lesiones.
  • Amenaza con arruinar o difamar su nombre : esta es una forma de chantaje. Ya sea que las acusaciones de la otra parte sean ciertas o no, amenazas como estas son esencialmente extorsión.

Conducción agresiva y amenazas

Aggressive driving is on the rise here in the U.S., as well as world-wide, according to Psych Central. Aggressive drivers are often aggressive after they crash as well, not just leading up to it. If the initial threat happened at the scene of the crash, there is a good chance that their aggression will simply turn to denial in the weeks after the collision.

Conductores ebrios

El conductor ebrio promedio maneja ebrio 80 veces antes de ser atrapado por la policía, según Bactrack . Y es muy común que los conductores de DUI tengan múltiples delitos de DUI. No es raro que un infractor de tráfico habitual, o alguien con un largo historial de DUI, lo amenace personalmente si lo demanda, porque teme pagar multas elevadas o que le suspendan la licencia. Sin embargo, lo mejor que puede hacer para defenderse es contratar a un abogado, presentar una demanda y denunciar las amenazas a la policía.
