Is Alabama a No-Fault State?
No, Alabama operates under a fault-based system. This means accident victims must file claims against the at-fault driver’s insurance. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or flees the scene, victims can seek compensation through their own insurance, provided they have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
Proving Fault in Alabama
To secure compensation, you must establish that the other party’s negligence caused the accident. This involves demonstrating their failure to uphold reasonable safety standards.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
-
Unsafe or unlawful turns
-
Running red lights or stop signs
-
Driving under the influence
-
Speeding
-
Distracted driving
-
Failing to yield the right of way
Accidents may also result from defective vehicle parts or hazardous road conditions, which could lead to product liability claims.
Contributory Negligence in Alabama
Alabama’s contributory negligence rule means you cannot recover compensation if you are found to be even 1% at fault. It is vital to have an experienced attorney to challenge unfair blame from insurance companies.
