Fatal Car Accidents in Alabama

Hundreds of lives are lost annually as a result of motor vehicle accidents in the state of Alabama. Far too many of these accidents are completely preventable. We see innocent people lose their lives every day as a result of motorists who are careless and reckless. Some of the leading factors in fatal car crashes across our state include:

Speeding: Exceeding the posted speed limit while driving on our roads can lead to deadly accidents. This is especially true when traveling on narrow or winding roads.
Drivers who are under the influence (DUI): Alcohol and drug use can impair a driver's judgment, coordination, and reaction time. This can lead to serious accidents that result in devastating injuries for those involved.
Distracted driving: This includes any activity that takes a driver's attention away from the road. In Alabama, some of the most common distractions include cell phone use, eating, and talking with passengers.
Driver fatigue: Driving while fatigued or drowsy can impair a driver's ability to react and make safe decisions on the road.
Failure to yield: This includes failing to stop at a stop sign or red light and even turning into parking lots without yielding to others nearby.
