Auto accidents cause more than just damage to your car. They may result in physical injuries, psychological damage and lasting emotional trauma, as well as financial hardships to the victim and his or her family. In addition to the pain of injury, permanent disabilities and property damage, the victim may have to face lost income, excessive medical bills, the possibility of future medical treatment and possibly psychological disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress.
Although these incidents are referred to as accidents, there is still a legal responsibility on the at-fault driver. He or she may not have been paying attention to the road, may have been speeding, may have been talking or texting on his or her cell phone or may have been drunk. Whatever the form of careless or negligent conduct, the consequences can be deadly. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, 966 people were killed in an Alabama auto accident in 2008 alone.

Trucking accidents are often devastating to an accident victim. Because of the massive size and weight of a commercial truck, the injury and fatality rates for occupants of other vehicles in Alabama trucking accidents are higher than those of other auto accidents. Trucking companies and the government are aware of the risks that semi trucks, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers and big rigs pose to other drivers. This is evident through increased regulations and standards in hiring, training, loading and driving. However, truck accidents continue to occur.
