Huntsville Car Accidents
A car accident in Huntsville is often a devastating and life-changing event for victims. Car accidents occur very suddenly and unexpectedly. No one ever expects to be involved in a crash when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. However, given the prevalence of negligent drivers on our roadways, these accidents each day throughout the state. More than 100,000 car accidents were reported last year in Alabama with many of them leading to injuries and some of them resulting in serious injuries or even death.
It is important for victims and family members to remember that they may have certain legal rights after an accident. Innocent motorists can recover a variety of damages including medical and prescription bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and possibly more.
