Determining The True Worth of Your Case in Alabama

Don’t let your Alabama car accident injuries go undervalued. The value of your claim in Alabama can significantly increase if you have significant, painful, and visible injuries.

Establishing Liability In An Alabama Car Accident

When a car accident occurs in Alabama, determining liability for compensating damages can be a complex process. An experienced Alabama auto accident lawyer can help identify the cause of the crash and determine who is at fault. Liability can be assigned to one individual or multiple parties, depending on the circumstances.

For example, if an individual rear-ends you while speeding or driving drowsy, your claim would be against that individual and their insurance company. However, not all accidents are that simple. Car accidents can also be caused by factors such as distracted driving, driving under the influence, or poor road conditions.

In cases where a worker driving a business vehicle is involved, your claim may be against the driver’s employer as well as the person who caused the crash. Trust our experienced Alabama automobile accident attorneys to help you navigate the legal process and recover the compensation you deserve.

We Use Evidence and Facts to Back Your Alabama Insurance Claim

According to Alabama law, if there is proof that you contributed even slightly to the accident, you may not be able to recover compensation for your injuries.

Speeding

Note that driving over the speed limit contributes to thousands of Alabama accidents in which speed was the primary cause. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that about a third of all fatalities that occur in motor vehicle traffic crashes are speeding-related. In 2020, speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of traffic fatalities.

The Alabama Department of Transportation says 5,107 drivers were involved in accidents while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in 2020. Of those drug and alcohol-related incidents:

  • The largest percentage happened in the early morning hours.
  • The most common day of the week for DUI fatalities was Saturday with 21.5% of accidents occurring on that day.
  • 3,745 of DUI drivers involved in an accident were male, 1,291 were female and in 71 DUI crashes the gender of the driver wasn’t identified.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a growing concern because of the prevalence of personal electronic devices over the last several years. Alabama made texting while driving illegal in 2012.

This includes eating and drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, reading, and of course, texting or talking on a mobile phone.

In 2020, according to the NHTSA:
