Causes of Car Accidents in Albertville

Thousands are injured each year in automobile accidents in Alabama. There are various causes of a Albertville car crash including:

• Driver fatigue: Those with disrupted sleep and those that drive commercially for a living are at a higher risk of suffering from driver fatigue.
• Weather and road conditions: Fog, ice, floods, snow and heavy winds create driving hazards and limit visibility for safe driving. Additionally, poor road conditions contribute to accidents because drivers have less time to slow down to prevent a crash.
• Driver distractions: Some common distractions are passengers, cell phones, satellite radio, hands-free devices and outside distractions.
• Drunk Driving: Hundreds are killed each year in accidents involving alcohol and drugs in Alabama.

What to do After An Auto Accident

• Immediately file an accident report with the police, sheriff or highway patrol, if the agency has not done so at the scene.
• Write down the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver’s license number of any and all persons involved in the accident. Record names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
• Obtain photographs of the accident scene, all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries to the parties involved, such as cuts, bruises, and scars.
• Do not discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone, with the exception of your doctor and your attorney.
• Do not consent to a recorded statement or sign any document without first reviewing it with your attorney. Innocent statements made by you attempting to assist an insurance adjuster can easily be misinterpreted and used to deny or minimize your recovery.
• Immediately seek medical attention and tell your doctor the nature and extent of your pain and injury, and how the injury occurred.
• Track Your Expenses.
  A strong claim clearly outlines the financial impact of your accident.

Ferguson Accident Injury Lawyers

Our goal is to get you the maximum compensation for your physical injuries, loss of income, out-of-pocket expenses, and potentially permanent issues. Once our car accident lawyers commence representation, we will thoroughly investigate the claim. Our attorneys will:

• 1. Interview all available witnesses. Memories fade and people move around or out of state, getting their statements are top priority.
• 2. Obtain photographs of the scene. The increased prevalence of private security cameras at nearby businesses may also provide relevant footage of the crash. Obtain photographs showing the property damage.
• 3. Perform a background check on the defendant, including their criminal history.
• 4. Help you get medical treatment and obtain all medical records and bills.
• 5. Retain competent experts to assist us in presenting our case to a jury.
• 6. Obtain cell phone records if we have reason to suspect the at-fault party was using their phone at the time of the car wreck. Distracted driving is an increasingly common cause of auto accidents.
