More details to this question:
My wife had to quickly change lanes to avoid another car. She apparently cut off another driver, who went off the road and into the guard rail. Her car was not hit at all. She stopped to help. She was ticketed for improper lane change. The other driver went to the hospital, no ambulance, but was just a little bamged up. What is likely to happen?

what you describe is a classic case of negligence on the part of your wife, if these facts can be proven. I would anticipate that the injured driver will file a claim against your wife's insurance company; your wife should also seek some kind of indemnification against the driver who cut her off, as he also was a contributing cause of this accident. The injured driver may also pursue remedies against the driver who set off this chain reaction....Does your wife have the identifying information on the driver who cut her off? good luck
