While the collision itself is unexpected and usually out of the victim’s control, the moments following an auto collision, and what you do in them, can make all the difference when it comes time to litigate your case. - Right after a car accident, your top priority should always be the health and safety of yourself and those around you, so **get everyone away from the vehicles and to a protected area** away from the road. - Once safe, **call 911**. Not only can the police secure the area and provide aid, they will document the scene and take statements from everyone involved. - In addition to the evidence collected by the authorities, make sure to personally **document everything** you can at the scene. If possible, **take photos or videos**, which can prove invaluable later. - It is extremely important to **get the insurance information of the other driver**, including the company name and policy number, as well as their name, phone number, address, driver’s license number, and license plate number. Once you have it, don’t forget to **call your own insurance agency** immediately. - Afterward, **don’t discuss the details of your accident with anyone except your [personal injury attorney](https://andywins.com/practice-area/personal-injury-lawyers/)**. They will advise you on the best course of action going forward and answer any questions you may have. - Even if you don’t think you were seriously hurt, **see your doctor for a medical evaluation**. They may find an [**injury or trauma that you weren’t aware of**](https://andywins.com/blog/can-i-get-compensation-for-car-accident-injuries-that-dont-show-up-immediately/), and in some cases, they may save you from future complications. - From your mechanic to your general practitioner, make sure to **keep all repair and medical bills**. The better the documentation you have, the better a case for fair compensation can be made. Make copies and share them with your attorney. ## What Our Clients Say About Us Discover firsthand accounts of our commitment to excellence through our client testimonials, showcasing our dedication to achieving favorable outcomes.

[See More Reviews](https://andywins.com/testimonials-reviews/) ## **Types of Compensation You Can Get After An Alabama Auto Accident** Alabama is what is known as a *tort*, or *at-fault* state. This means that when there is a car accident, the driver that caused the accident is liable to pay the ensuing costs of the driver they hit, through their insurance. Who is at fault is very important in Alabama car accident cases, and is usually determined by the police and insurance companies. If you have been in an auto collision, and the other driver was at fault, factors that can be taken into consideration when determining your settlement include: - The **repair costs for your vehicle**, or the cost to replace it if it is totaled. - Your **immediate medical expenses**, for things like an ambulance ride, emergency room visit, surgery, and medication. - Your **future medical expenses and/or rehabilitation costs**, including physical therapy, long-term medical devices, psychological care, and other specialized services. Some trauma, like [**back injuries**](https://andywins.com/blog/can-i-get-compensation-for-my-back-pain-after-a-car-crash/) and [**shoulder injuries**](https://andywins.com/blog/can-i-get-compensation-for-shoulder-injuries-after-a-car-accident/), can require treatment for many years, decades, or even longer, after an accident. - Any [**lost income**](https://andywins.com/blog/how-to-claim-lost-wages-after-an-alabama-car-crash/) **resulting from the accident**. This can be lost wages from time away from work during recovery, as well as a reduced earning capacity due to injuries resulting from the accident. - **Losses resulting from the death of a family member**. In the unfortunate event that a loved one dies as a result of a car crash, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss in income, funeral expenses, and more. ### [**How Long Do You Have To File A Claim In Alabama?**](https://andywins.com/blog/how-long-after-an-accident-can-you-file-a-personal-injury-claim-in-alabama/) - **The statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim in Alabama is two years from the day of the accident.** After this time, the courts will probably not hear your case, though some exceptions may apply if an injury wasn’t immediately apparent or if the victim was a minor at the time of the incident. Generally, it is best to contact your car accident attorney in Alabama as soon as possible, so they have the maximum amount of time to properly prepare your case. ## The Andy Wins Way: Fast.

A variety of factors, from the willingness of insurance companies to cooperate to the severity of the wreck, affect the time frame, and can mean the difference of months when it comes to seeing an actual settlement. ### What if I get in an auto accident with someone who doesn’t have insurance? - **If you are hit by an uninsured driver, your best bet is to be thoroughly insured yourself.** Even though legally you may be within your rights to sue the uninsured driver, they may not have the resources or assets to fulfill a court’s judgment, and therefore, there is little you can do to get actual compensation. Elective insurance options, like uninsured motorist coverage or personal injury protection, can ensure that you are not stuck with the full bill after a car accident. You should always contact a reputable Alabama car accident lawyer before deciding which course to pursue. ### **How is it determined who is ‘at fault’?** - **‘Fault’ is decided by the police, insurance companies, and rarely, the court.** Initially, the police responding to the scene will document what happened, **[determine who was at fault](https://andywins.com/blog/how-to-proving-fault-during-an-accident/)**, and record this information in their report. Insurance companies rely heavily on these reports when making their own decisions. Disputes very seldom go to court but do have the potential to be seen by a jury. It is important to note that Alabama is one of just four states where a plaintiff is not entitled to any compensation whatsoever if they are found to be at all responsible for the accident in any way, no matter how minorly, a legal approach known as ‘pure contributory negligence.’ ### **Is Alabama a No-Fault State?** - **Alabama is** ***not* a no-fault insurance state**. Motorists who are found legally liable, or at fault, in a traffic accident may be held financially accountable for the other party’s losses. These losses can include medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and the pain and suffering the victim has experienced since the accident. What this means for you is that, if you’re involved in an accident, you should file a claim with the other driver’s insurance to seek compensation for your damages. ### **Should I Get an Alabama Car Accident Lawyer?** - **In the event of a car accident, you should always contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.** That applies to any situation where you or a loved one is injured or killed due to the negligence of another. Especially in states like Alabama that practice strict rules about who is entitled to compensation after a car wreck, an **auto accident attorney** who knows their way around the legal obstacle course is essential.
