Few people look at it this way, but driving a car is probably the riskiest thing you do on any given day. According to the CDC, car accidents are a leading cause of death in the U.S., and, statistically speaking, just about everyone is likely to be involved in some type of crash during their lifetime. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and confused following a car accident, especially if a serious injury was involved. At the same time, you need to take steps to ensure your physical well-being as well as your financial security through a strong injury claim.

We will manage all aspects of your case and aggressively pursue your best possible outcome.

Contact our office today to learn more about how we can help you get the care you need and the compensation you deserve. Most adults today have access to a vehicle. In Alabama, there isn’t much public transportation to speak of, so you’re going to need a car to get to and from work, school, the store, and any other place you’d like to go during your leisure time. But, being on the road has become increasingly dangerous. According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, a traffic crash takes place every 3 minutes on Alabama’s roads, and 2-3 people lose their lives each day in this state. The instances of total crashes and fatal crashes continue to rise. One of the reasons for this is that the number of registered vehicles and licensed drivers is also increasing, creating more crowding on the roads. Few car accidents happen by chance. There is generally some element of unsafe or irresponsible driving involved that contributed to the crash. While there are many ways that a person can endanger the lives of others on the road, some contributors are more common than others. According to the Department of Public Safety, some of the most common causes of car accidents include: The severity of injuries suffered in a car accident can vary significantly. Our team of seasoned accident attorneys has successfully represented car wreck victims who suffered from: It’s a sad reality that some car accidents result in the tragic loss of life. If you have lost a loved one, contact our office to learn more about how you can financially recover from the responsible party. It’s an unfortunate fact that insurance companies are never on the side of the accident victim. Whether you are dealing with your insurance company or the other driver’s, the goal of these companies is to pay as little as possible. This means you’ll be met with resistance at every turn, and insurers use a variety of tactics to reduce payments and deny claims outright. An experienced car accident lawyer understands these tactics and knows how to fight back against unscrupulous insurers to get you the compensation you need and deserve. Your lawyer can help you navigate the complex claims process while building a strong case that will produce results. Some of the ways your car accident attorney can help include: Your actions immediately following a car accident can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. To ensure you receive maximum compensation for your damages, here are some of the ways you can protect your rights: Take photos of the accident scene, including the damage to both vehicles, with your cell phone camera. Call the police and ask them to come to the scene to write an accident report. Gather as much information as possible while still at the accident scene. Get license plate and driver’s license numbers of other drivers and any witness contact information. Go to an emergency room or urgent care center to get checked out by medical professionals, even if you aren’t experiencing symptoms immediately after the crash. Insurance adjusters will try to coerce you into making statements that will undermine your case. Consult with an attorney before giving any such statements. It might be tempting to handle your accident claim on your own, but the insurance companies are counting on this. Speak with a qualified personal injury lawyer that can guide you through this process. If you or someone you love has been in a car accident, our team of Alabama car accident lawyers can help you recover the compensation you deserve so that you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery.
