Recoverable Damages in Alabama Car Accidents

Alabama laws related to car accidents recognize the right of an accident victim to obtain full compensation for the damages they incur in an accident caused by the negligence of another driver. You could be eligible to recover the following compensation:

• Medical Expenses - Hospital bills, doctor visits, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation costs, and future medical treatment
• Lost Wages - Income lost while recovering from injuries and reduced earning capacity if injuries affect your ability to work
• Property Damage - Vehicle repair or replacement costs and damaged personal property
• Pain and Suffering - Physical pain and discomfort resulting from injuries
• Emotional Distress - Mental anguish, PTSD, anxiety, depression related to the accident
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life - Inability to participate in hobbies, social activities, or recreational pursuits
• Funeral and Burial Expenses - In wrongful death cases
• Punitive Damages - Capped at 3 times the amount of compensatory damages or $1.5 million, whichever greater - with exceptions for cases involving wronful death or intentional fraud

The strict liability laws in Alabama mean recovery may be barred if you're found even 1% at fault for the accident. This highlights why expert legal representation is essential to secure the outcome you deserve.

 

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

If you were severely injured in your accident, you should immediately seek medical assistance for your injuries. Once your physical condition is stable, you should speak with the experienced auto accident attorneys at Lawsuit Legal to begin the legal process of filing a claim against the at-fault driver.

Don't Speak to the Insurance Companies

• It's critical to consult with a lawyer before speaking to the insurers to avoid making any statements that may hurt your case for compensation. Avoid admitting fault at the accident scene and let your legal representation handle communications with the insurance company.
  Never sign any release, authorization, or anything for the insurance company of the party at fault. They have no interest in paying you the full and fair compensation you deserve.

 

Car Accident Injury Claim Statute of Limitations in Alabama

The Alabama statute of limitations allows injury victims up to 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim. Failing to meet this deadline can result in the courts barring you from pursuing the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Car Wrecks Across Alabama

The unique combination of Alabama's congested urban highways and isolated rural roadways creates a unique accident environment, with densely-trafficked city corridors generating frequent collisions while remote country roads produce a disproportionate share of catastrophic, high-fatality crashes.

• Rear-End Collisions - Dangerous hotspots for rear-end collisions plague major urban arteries throughout Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery, where aggressive tailgating and delayed driver reactions transform routine traffic slowdowns into costly chain-reaction crashes
• Intersection Crashes - Caused by drivers running red lights at intersections, failing to yield right-of-way, or misjudging oncoming traffic when turning
• Single-Vehicle Run-Off-Road Accidents - Particularly deadly on rural highways when drivers lose control due to speeding, fatigue, or impairment.
• Sideswipe Collisions - Often caused by lane changes, especially on interstates in Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery during peak traffic hours when traffic congestion is at it's highest
• Fixed Object Crashes - Account for over a quarter of all traffic fatalities when vehicles strike trees, utility poles, or barriers, often in nighttime conditions
• Commercial Truck Accidents - Catastrophic collisions involving 18-wheelers and delivery vehicles occur frequently on I-65, I-20, and I-59, where limited visibility, driver fatigue, and driver error results in severe injuries and extensive property damage

From multi-car pileups to devastating commercial truck accidents, our battle-tested attorneys provide the unwavering advocacy you need to secure maximum compensation your motor vehicle accident case demands.
