With very few exceptions it's safe to run into something as soon as you see the animation happening and the mentioned laser mechanic is a perfect example of one that gives you little to no time to dodge it if you're not abusing the damage snapshots to the fullest and not switching sides the instant you see a beam go off.
I'm going to just underline this and then run over it with a yellow highlighter for emphasis. For any mechanic that involves dodging between two spots in this game, I do not think there is anything more important to remember than this.
