Road Rage and Automobile Defense

Michigan Self-Defense Attorney Providing Effective Legal Advice

Law Office of John Freeman: Troy, Michigan

More and more people are on the road every day, and we are spending more and more time in our cars. Irresponsible or distracted driving by fellow commuters can cause some drivers to just snap, lashing out in anger. These "road rage" incidents can quickly escalate if a driver or passenger is armed.

Truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators who spend a great deal of their day behind the wheel run a higher risk of being the victim of a road rage incident. They are also more likely to be subjected to car assault — where a driver actually uses his or her vehicle as a weapon — possibly causing serious injury or even death.

Clearly, some drivers choose to protect themselves from potential road rage incidents by carrying properly licensed concealed weapons. Unfortunately, brandishing or discharging a weapon could possibly result in criminal charges. If you have been accused of improperly using a firearm during a road rage situation, you need to act quickly. The counsel of an experienced self-defense attorney like John Freeman can be invaluable to prove that your actions were justified under the circumstances.
