How Is Fault Determined After a Pedestrian Accident?

In Alabama, pedestrian accident claims rely on proving negligence. Specifically, your attorney must show that the driver failed to act with reasonable care. Common driver errors that may be considered negligent include:

  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Failing to yield at a crosswalk
  • Driving distracted or under the influence
  • Speeding or driving too fast for conditions

It’s important to note that Alabama is a strict contributory negligence state. If you’re found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. That’s why gathering strong evidence and proving full driver fault is essential. Our legal team works quickly to secure witness statements, video footage, crash reports, and traffic data to support your claim and protect your right to compensation.

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Pedestrian Accident?

Yes. Alabama’s contributory negligence law makes recovering compensation difficult without legal help. Insurance companies often try to shift blame to the pedestrian because even 1% fault can jeopardize your claim. Having a lawyer handle communication for you levels the playing field and helps you prevent costly mistakes.

  • Investigate the crash and determine fault
  • Preserve and collect vital evidence
  • Handle all communication with the insurance company
  • Calculate your full damages, including future needs
  • File legal paperwork and meet all deadlines
  • Represent you in court if necessary

Union Springs Pedestrian Accident FAQs

In Alabama, you usually have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If your accident involved a city bus or government vehicle, you have less time to act. Missing the statute of limitations could bar you from recovering damages, so don’t wait to contact a lawyer.

We do not charge upfront fees. Our team works on a contingency basis, which means you pay us nothing unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay. That gives every injured pedestrian the ability to access quality legal representation regardless of financial circumstances.

To help us evaluate your case, bring any documents you have:

  • Police or accident report
  • Medical records and bills
  • Pay stubs or proof of lost wages
  • Photos or videos of the scene or your injuries
  • Driver and insurance information
  • Witness names and contact information
  • A list of questions for your attorney

The more information you provide, the better we can advise you on your next steps.
