Alabama Car Accident Laws

Alabama is an at-fault auto insurance state. This means that the person who is found at fault is liable for all losses and damages. After a car accident, you will, typically, seek damages from the at-fault party’s insurance company.

You have the right to file an insurance claim or seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit if a negligent or careless party (such as a distracted or drunk driver) caused your accident.

However, according to the state’s “contributory negligence” law, you cannot receive any compensation if you share any of the blame for the accident.

An experienced auto accident lawyer can help you better understand the laws in Alabama that may affect your claim, so you have the best chance of receiving the justice you deserve.

Do I have a case?

There are three main factors an attorney will look at when determining if you have a winnable car accident case.

We must prove the other person involved in your accident was at fault to seek compensation on your behalf. The insurance company will try to argue that you were partly or fully responsible for your injuries. This is how they justify denying your claim.

Please don’t give out statements to an insurance company or try to settle the claim yourself. Insurance companies are not on your side, and they are representing the interests of their own insured driver or vehicle owner. We help injured individuals like you get the money they need after a car accident every day in Alabama, and we can help you, too!

If your car needs repairs or needs to be replaced, or if you have any medical bills from the accident, filing a lawsuit can help you recover compensation for these losses.

As long as you call our experienced Mobile, AL, car accident lawyers at Long & long within two years of the date of the accident, you are within the state’s statute of limitations, and you can file your lawsuit.

What Kind of Compensation Could I Get?

Knowing what you’re entitled to is the first step to seeking what you’re truly owed, rather than what the insurance company tells you you deserve. When you work with our team, we will seek the following compensation on your behalf:

Any accident-related expenses from an ambulance ride to pain medication or physical therapy can be sought to be compensated. We will work with you to collect documents of these expenses and present them to the insurance company to be recovered.

Whether your vehicle was dinged or demolished, if the accident wasn’t your fault, you deserve to be compensated for the cost it will take to repair or replace your property. We will include this in our list of demands for your recovery.

If you are unable to work while you recover from your injuries, we will seek compensation for the paychecks you lost while incapacitated.

Experiencing a car accident is something that sticks with you. It’s stressful and scary and can often cause PTSD. Our attorneys will seek compensation on your behalf for the emotional trauma you were forced to endure due to someone else’s recklessness.

Frequently Asked Questions

The moments after a car accident are scary and stressful, especially when you’re uncertain about how to proceed. Here are five steps to keep in mind after a collision:

  1. Contact the Authorities: A police report will give a detailed description of what happened and make sure you get a copy of the police report so you can refer to it later.
  2. Collect Evidence: Make sure you obtain as much information about the car accident and all the people involved. Take photos of the scene, collect contact and insurance information for the other driver, and contact information for any witnesses.
  3. Get Medical Attention:  It’s important that you see a doctor and get a medical report of your health immediately following an accident. In some cases, injuries may not become apparent until weeks or even months after your accident. Failing to seek appropriate medical attention could make it difficult to receive the compensation you deserve.
  4. Don’t Speak with Insurance Adjusters: Insurance adjusters are trained experts who will try to pay you less for your injuries. Their job is to save the insurance company money, not to protect your rights. With this in mind, they may pressure you to accept a very small settlement up front. Do not take this settlement or agree to anything before speaking to a knowledgeable lawyer.
  5. Contact The Long Brothers for a free case evaluation. Our attorneys can work on your behalf and fight for your rights after an accident.

In Alabama, the rule of contributory negligence applies. This means that if you are found to be even slightly responsible for your accident, you will not be able to recover compensation. However, it’s always best to consult an experienced Mobile, Alabama car accident lawyer to evaluate your options after an accident.

Yes. After a car accident, it’s in your best interest to have a police report filed. This report states vital details such as location, property damage, and who the police believe to be at fault. This information can support your claim and may increase your chances of obtaining fair compensation.

If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy, you are still able to recover for any damages caused by the uninsured driver. If you do not have uninsured motorist coverage, contact our team of Mobile, Alabama, car accident lawyers to discuss your legal rights.

The circumstances surrounding your accident play a significant role in determining how much your case is worth. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage all impact the amount of compensation you may receive. In order to calculate how much your case may be worth, our team of car accident attorneys will need to first review the specific details of your case.

While hiring an attorney isn’t required, it will make the legal process much smoother for you and your family. Our experienced Mobile, AL, car accident lawyers will deal with the insurance companies and the other party involved in the accident, obtain medical records and other necessary documents, and handle every legal aspect of your claim giving you a better chance of receiving the compensation you deserve.

When an insurance company is ready to make you an offer, they may ask you to sign a release form. Do not do this without having a lawyer look over it first. Often, these release forms will free the insurance company from having to make any further payments regarding your accident. This can be problematic if your settlement is unfair and doesn’t cover the extent of your losses.

Never release your medical records to someone else’s insurer. They may use this information to argue that your injuries were pre-existing and not a result of your accident, or that they aren’t as serious as you claim. It’s always in your best interest to have an experienced lawyer review your case and handle the conversations with the insurance company to ensure you aren’t being taken advantage of.

Giving conflicting testimony about a high-stress event like a car accident is common, but it can be problematic. In these situations, always consult with a lawyer to determine the best path forward, so you don’t risk damaging your case.

In instances of a hit and run, you may need to rely on your own insurance company to cover the costs, depending on the nature of your policy. Our attorneys at Long & Long can review your policy and help you determine the best course of action.

Regardless of how you feel after an accident, you should always receive a medical evaluation. You could have internal injuries or other injuries that aren’t immediately recognizable. Keep a record of the visit as well as any bills. This will be important for your claim later on.

To get a copy of the accident report in Alabama, you’ll need a few key pieces of information. This includes the names of the drivers involved, the names of the vehicle owners, the date, and the case number. Once you have this information, you can request the report from the local police department where the accident took place. If you are seriously injured, or your time is occupied with the normal demands of your life, our lawyers in Orange Beach and Mobile, AL, can take care of this for you.

Wearing a seat belt when driving can protect you from serious injuries in the event of an accident. It’s also against the law to not buckle up, so you should always wear your seatbelt. If you weren’t wearing a seatbelt at the time of your accident, however, you may still be entitled to compensation in the state of Alabama if the accident wasn’t your fault.

While it’s human nature to apologize in any situation, keep in mind that you may not be in the best position to determine who’s really at fault, especially if you’ve suffered serious injuries. Never apologize or admit fault at the scene of the accident and contact the police immediately so they can make an assessment of the situation. Then, consult an experienced car accident attorney to discuss your legal rights and whether or not you have a case.

It depends. Typically, personal injury cases settle before a trial becomes necessary. However, if an agreement cannot be reached between both parties, then your next step may be to take your case to trial.

The law is set up in a way that only allows a lawsuit to be filed against an individual in the event of serious injury, disability, or death. You may receive coverage for the costs of property repair or loss as a part of any settlement you’re entitled to from the insurance company.
