Not for anything your claim depends on. AI chatbots can get the law wrong while sounding completely sure of themselves, and what you type into one about your case may not stay private. If you’ve been hurt in a wreck, the questions about your claim belong with a lawyer who can look at your actual […]
Usually, yes. If nobody appears to be hurt and your car still drives, Alabama law lets you move it out of the travel lanes to the shoulder, median, or another spot close by, as long as you stay at or near the scene. If someone is hurt, the car stays where it is until an […]
Having a pre-existing injury doesn’t rule out a car accident claim in Alabama. If a wreck aggravated an old injury or reinjured a body part that had healed, that aggravation is compensable on its own.

Don’t panic, and don’t drive away. Stop the car, stay at the scene, check on anyone who may be hurt, and call 911.
