Motor Vehicle Accidents

Every year, hundreds of motor vehicle accidents occur on the streets, highways and interstates throughout Birmingham, Alabama, and other parts of the state. Unfortunately, these accidents often cause life-altering, permanent injuries to innocent people. In fact, statistics show that the majority of drivers will be involved in some kind of motor vehicle accident during their lifetime and that about one-third of those individuals will be injured or killed. While these statistics are staggering and sobering, they only tell a small part of the story.

In a split second, a motor vehicle accident can occur and forever change your life or that of a loved one. Physical and emotional injuries stemming from a motor vehicle accident can come in a wide variety of forms and can result in significant personal and economic damages to you and your family. If injured or hurt in an accident, you or a family member can be saddled with significant medical bills, lost wages, property damage, permanent impairment, disfigurement, tremendous physical pain, emotional distress and mental anguish. Many individuals injured in a motor vehicle accident feel the ill effects of these injuries for a lifetime. Worst of all, and perhaps more tragic, children are injured and killed every day in these accidents. As a parent, the emotional scars left behind from losing a child are simply overwhelming.

More startling, recent statistics for one year for the State of Alabama from the Alabama transportation director include:

A traffic crash was reported every 4.15 minutes.
A person was injured in a traffic crash every ten hours and 17 minutes.
For fatal crashes, where a restraint was available for use, 56 percent of fatalities were unrestrained.
Most Alabama crashes (75 percent) occurred in urban areas, but most fatalities (55 percent) occurred in rural areas.
Of all fatal crashes, nine percent were caused by drivers 19 or under, and 24 percent were caused by drivers 25 and under.
For each fatality, there were 44 injuries.
Of all fatal crashes, 49 percent occurred at night (including dusk and dawn).
The pedestrian death toll was 57.
There were 76 fatalities involving motorcycle or moped riders.
Bicyclists accounted for six fatalities.
There were four fatalities that involved trains.
For front seat occupants in vehicle crashes, the probability of being killed is 47 times higher for those not wearing safety belts than those who are properly restrained.
