Fatal Car Accidents in Horton, Alabama
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can have a devastating impact on a victim and their family. Regrettably, not everyone is able to overcome their injuries. Around 1,000 people end up passing away each year due to traffic-related incidents in our state.
Although we can be proactive to ensure others sharing the road with us are safe, there is no way to prevent other drivers from paying the same respect to us. As a result, we continue to see innocent people lose their lives in crashes caused by negligence. Some of the most common factors contributing to collisions in our state include:
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Driving while distracted (using cellphone, eating, etc.)
- Speeding
- Disregarding traffic control devices
When people engage in reckless actions while operating their vehicles, they place the lives of innocent parties at risk. When families lose loves ones in accidents, due to these and other acts of negligence, they must seek the guidance of a Horton wrongful death attorney immediately. Families may be able to recover financial compensation to help cover funeral expenses and other financial burdens they face.
