Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Huntsville: Key Facts and Legal Considerations

Multi-vehicle crashes are a pressing issue in Huntsville, with urban intersections like Sparkman Dr and Skyline Dr seeing frequent incidents. ALDOT data reveals that nearly 40% of Alabama’s 150,000 annual accidents result in injuries, and multi-car collisions often cause severe harm due to compounded impacts.

Under Alabama’s strict “contributory negligence” rule, even a slight fault can prevent injury victims from receiving compensation.
