What Compensation Is Available for Me in My Daphne Auto Crash Claim?

Discover the Damages Our Car Accident Attorneys Can Pursue for You

Damages in Daphne auto crash claims generally fall into three categories — economic, non-economic and punitive damages:

Economic Damages 

Economic damages are reimbursements for medical bills, lost wages, property damage and other losses that can be quantified in dollar figures. They include the cost of tasks you may need to pay for because you can no longer perform them.

Non-Economic Damages 

Non-economic damages are much harder to quantify and put a price on. They include physical pain, emotional stress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement and scarring.

Punitive Damages 

Sometimes, a judge will award punitive damages to punish the defendant for egregious disregard for the safety of others. One example of punitive damages might be a judge awarding additional compensation in a drunk driving accident in which someone was severely injured or killed.

Car Accident FAQs

Professional Guidance for Accident Victims

Our Daphne personal injury lawyers have represented hundreds of accident victims, and many ask the same questions. Below is a list of frequently asked questions with answers.

Is Alabama an At-Fault State?

Yes, Alabama follows at-fault provisions, but the state also adopts the contributory negligence doctrine.  This means that a person is barred from recovering damages if he or she is found to be even 1% responsible for the accident.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing an Alabama Car Accident Claim?

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Alabama is two years (Ala. Code. Sec. 6-2-38).  This means if you want to sue a reckless driver who caused a car accident, you must file your lawsuit quickly.  The clock begins ticking on the date of your accident in most cases, although there are some exceptions.

How Many Parties Can I Sue in a Daphne Car Accident Claim?

You can name one, two or more defendants in a car accident lawsuit, depending on the facts in your case. Beyond an at-fault driver, you could also sue a government agency if it failed to keep the road clear of debris and in good repair.  The vehicle manufacturer may also be liable  if a mechanical or electrical defect caused the crash.

What If My Loved One Was Killed in a Car Crash?

In fatal cases, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit to recoup not only the damages listed above, but also funeral and burial costs.  While no amount of money can bring your loved one back, financial compensation can help provide for the family members left behind so they can move forward with life.
