Auto Accidents
Initially, many traffic accidents may seem like simple events, but frequently this is not the case. Even the most basic of fender-benders often contain dozens of variables that may affect the outcome of your claims and damages. It is essential that injured accident victims promptly seek advice from qualified and experienced auto injury attorneys. Alabama particularly has a very short statute of limitations on the filing of injury claims.
The facts and circumstances of your accident will affect the damages that you may be able to recover. The most common causes of auto accidents include: drunk driving, distracted driving (cell phones, eating, etc.), drowsy driving, speeding, failure to yield right-of-way, failure to obey traffic signs, and, of course, speeding.
You will only have one opportunity to secure compensation for your injuries and damages that result from your accident. That’s why it is vital to work with an attorney that is experienced in properly documenting the facts and circumstances of your auto accident, injuries, medical treatments, and estimated future expenses. We have the experience and resources necessary to resolve your car accident case. Contact The Gardner Firm today for a FREE no-obligation consultation.
