Fatal Auto Accidents in Alabama
Fatal collisions in Alabama take the lives of hundreds of people annually. The unfortunate truth is that it is nearly impossible to prepare for the impact that a fatal collision can have on your family. The sudden loss of income, being deprived of support, and losing your companion can take an emotional toll. Unfortunately, families often endure overwhelming financial burdens as well.
There are many cases where people lose their lives in accidents that are preventable. This is particularly true in rear-end accidents. Some of the leading factors that contribute to fatal rear-end accidents across Alabama include:
Fatigue or drowsy driving
Sudden braking or deceleration
Drivers who are impaired
Speeding
Tailgating/following too closely
Distractions
Poor road conditions
Aggressive driving behavior
