Car accidents are the most common cause of serious personal injury claims in Alabama. With heavy traffic on Interstate 65, Interstate 20, Interstate 59, U.S. 280, and countless rural two-lane highways, Alabama drivers face real danger every day. When another driver's negligence leaves you injured, Injury Claim Team connects you with experienced Alabama car accident attorneys who fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Alabama Law and Your Car Accident Claim
Alabama is one of the few states that still follows the strict contributory negligence rule. Under this doctrine, if you are found even one percent at fault for a crash, you can be barred from recovering anything. Insurance companies know this and aggressively try to shift blame onto injured victims. That is why having a skilled attorney investigate the crash, preserve evidence, and protect you from unfair blame is so critical in Alabama. Alabama also requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, and the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is generally two years from the date of the crash.
Common Injuries in Car Accident Cases
The injuries our network attorneys see in these cases range from temporary to life-altering. They include:

Compensation You May Recover
Compensation in an Alabama car accident claim can include current and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases involving especially reckless conduct — such as drunk or distracted driving — punitive damages may also be available.
