Understanding Alabama Car Accident Laws
How Alabama Defines Liability
Alabama operates as a fault state for car accidents. This means the negligent driver and their insurance company must pay for the damages they cause, including property loss, medical expenses, and wrongful death.
Depending on your situation, you may:
File a claim under your own policy for medical payments or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
File a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance.
File a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional compensation.
Our attorneys analyze your case and pursue every available option for recovery.
Alabama Auto Insurance Requirements
State law requires Alabama drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of:
$25,000 for injury or death to one person
$50,000 for injury or death to two or more people
$25,000 for property damage
Many drivers carry higher limits, which may affect the value of your claim. We identify all possible sources of compensation to maximize your recovery.
Alabama Laws That Affect Your Claim
Alabama’s tort law governs personal injury and wrongful death claims.
Statute of Limitations: You have two years from the date of injury or death to file a lawsuit or settle with the insurer.
Contributory Negligence: If the insurer proves you were even 1% at fault, you may lose your right to compensation.
Our attorneys work aggressively to prove the other driver’s full responsibility and protect you from unfair blame.
Wrongful Death Claims in Alabama
Alabama law defines wrongful death as a death caused by another’s wrongful act, negligence, or omission.
Key facts:
A personal representative of the deceased’s estate must file the claim.
Alabama allows only punitive damages, designed to punish the at-fault party and deter negligence.
Courts distribute the recovery directly to the heirs, not the estate.
Attorney Paul Seckel guides families through this complex process with compassion and determination.
