Under Alabama law, car accident victims and their families may have legal rights under certain circumstances. The law provides for victims to receive compensation when they have been hurt in a crash that was not their fault. If you have lost a loved one, Alabama’s wrongful death laws can apply to allow families to sue a negligent driver that is responsible for the accident. While there is no amount of money that can replace a loved one or erase the crash, the compensation that you receive can help you offset many of the unexpected expenses that you have at this time.
