Auto wrecks are among the leading causes of serious injury in United States. Each year, thousands of individuals are killed, and hundreds of thousands are severely injured in motor vehicle crashes. For injury victims, a car wreck can be a life-altering experience. Medical bills start to pile up, and they are often forced to miss several weeks or even months from work. In some cases, injuries can be permanent and debilitating, making victims unable to return to work at all and reducing their overall quality of life so that they can no longer do those things they enjoyed most before the wreck. These injuries are real and vary from person to person. Perhaps, you are a grandmother who can no longer get on the floor and play with your grandchildren. Or perhaps, your back injury leaves you unable to hunt or fish. Or maybe your pain keeps you from being able to stand at a stove and cook for your family. When someone suffers injury from a vehicle accident that was the fault of another party, they deserve to be compensated. At the Law Offices of Troy King, we have extensive experience successfully representing clients injured in car wrecks in Union Springs and hundreds of other communities throughout Alabama. Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of Alabama personal injury law, and we fight hard to obtain full and fair compensation on behalf of each client we serve. Auto wreck cases can be complicated, and insurance companies will do everything possible to avoid paying out the compensation you are entitled to. Oftentimes, the insurance company has investigators at the crash site before you even leave the emergency room. They are not there looking for the truth. They are there looking to protect the insurance company from having to pay out money. Our attorneys know how to effectively thwart the common tactics that insurance companies use though, so we can get you the money you deserve. We are skilled litigators and strong negotiators. Whenever possible, we seek to negotiate a settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries. However, if the other side is not willing to be reasonable, we are prepared to take the case to trial and pursue full damages. Common Reasons Car Accidents Occur In Union Springs and throughout Alabama, there are thousands of auto wrecks each year. While some of these accidents are due to external factors such as inclement weather, most are caused by driver negligence or negligence on the part of another party. Some of the most common causes of car accidents include: Pursuing a Union Springs Car Accident Claim Auto wrecks can result in serious and sometimes catastrophic injuries. The impact of a car crash, especially when the vehicles are traveling at higher speeds, can cause a wide range of injuries, such as: When an injury is caused by another party’s negligence or reckless actions, the injured party is entitled to damages. Damages may include not only direct monetary losses such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, but also non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, psychological distress, and diminished quality of life. In rare cases in which the actions of the party responsible for the injury were especially egregious, punitive damages may be awarded to “punish” the wrongdoer and help discourage similarly egregious actions in the future. Filing an injury claim for a car wreck in Union Springs or anywhere else in Alabama is far more challenging than in other states because of Alabama’s “contributory negligence” legal standard. Under contributory negligence, an injured party can be barred from recovering compensation if they are found to be partially at fault (even 1%) for the underlying accident. You can be sure that the insurance company will go to work immediately to try to take advantage of this defendant-friendly standard, so they can avoid paying you the compensation you are entitled to. This is why it is absolutely essential to get an experienced attorney involved in your case as early on as possible in the process, so your legal right to damages can be preserved.
