There are times when it may be important or necessary to file a personal injury lawsuit. Even if you and your attorneys expect to obtain an insurance settlement, you may need to file suit in order to utilize the discovery process. This process allows you to trade information with the other parties involved. It can help you gather evidence that may help you prove fault. However, a lawsuit may also be important if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured, or if the insurer denied your claim. When an insurance settlement is not possible or looks to be unlikely, a personal injury lawsuit may be your only other option to obtain compensation for your injuries.
It is absolutely essential to know about and understand Alabama’s contributory negligence law, because it may affect your case. Alabama follows what is known as a pure contributory negligence rule, which states that an injured party cannot recover compensation if they are in any way responsible for the accident and their own injuries. If an insurer or court finds that you are one percent or more at fault for your car accident, you can be denied compensation entirely.
This is one of the reasons why it is essential to never admit fault after an accident. If you apologize for the crash or misspeak about what happened, an insurer may find grounds to deny your claim. The other party may also use your words for their defense if you decide to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. At Belt, Bruner, & Barnett P.C., we prioritize protecting your right to compensation, and we will work to avoid or defeat a contributory negligence claim.
