Car Accidents in Alabama
In 2019, there were nearly 160,000 total reported traffic crashes in Alabama. Over 70% of these accidents involved vehicles colliding with other vehicles. About 30% of all reported accidents resulted in injuries or fatalities. As a result of all reported car accidents, there were 44,422 injuries and 930 people lost their lives. Most serious and deadly crashes result from driver error or negligence. Some common types of negligence include speeding, distraction, impairment, and reckless driving. Accidents can also occur as a result of medical emergencies or vehicle equipment malfunctions such as tire blowouts. The cause of each accident must be carefully investigated in order to determine which driver should be held responsible.
No one ever expects to be involved in an injury accident when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. The reality, however, is that serious crashes take place every day. An Alabama car accident can have a serious and very drastic immediate effect on both victims and their families. To make matters worse, many people who are injured or killed in these crashes are not at fault for the accident. Instead, they are affected by the actions of another driver.
