To begin with, the residents and motorists of Alabama are statistically more at risk of being involved in a car accident than the average American citizen throughout their lifetimes.
In fact, numbers published by the very reputable Center for Advanced Public Safety shows that an Alabama resident’s odds of being involved in a car accident which results serious or even life threatening injuries are greater than 1 in 3. Alabamians enjoy low taxes but that should not equal to terrible driving. Take it easy over there!
To put the above into perspective, it basically means that anyone who routinely operates a motor vehicle on the public roads of Alabama has more or less a 98% chance of being involved in a motor accident. The last time we checked, 98% was almost a certainty.
If that did not drive the point home, here is some more car accident statistics which illustrates just how common car accidents are in Alabama and how many people are victimized by them.
These numbers, needless to say, are shocking. However, this is only half the story. What we really want to shed light on is the fact that the majority of these accidents are a result of negligence and human error. In fact, the top ten causes for accidents include, but are not limited to things such as failure to yield, tailgating, misjudging the distance, DUIs, over speeding, not maintaining lane, and so on.
It should be very clear by now, but just to reiterate – negligence on Alabama roads kills close to a thousand people every year. It is very unfair that a victim has to suffer losses, injuries or even death as a result of someone else’s negligence and this is precisely why the state law in Alabama allows for such victims to file a civil lawsuit wherein they can seek damages and receive compensatory awards.
