How do I know if I have a case for a Tuscaloosa, Alabama auto accident lawsuit?
If you have been injured in a Tuscaloosa area auto accident or a family member died because of someone else’s carelessness, you are likely here to see if you should hire a lawyer and file an auto accident claim. In order to recover monetary compensation, you and your lawyer must prove three things.
1. The responsible party was careless (negligent). For example, if a car driver crashed into another vehicle or an innocent pedestrian because he ignored a stop sign, the driver of the car, under Alabama law, would be considered negligent.
2. The negligence led to the personal injury. In the above example, if the innocent victim sustained a broken leg and severe back pain as a result of the crash, the car or truck driver’s negligence would be considered to have caused the personal injury.
3. The personal injury resulted in harm (compensatory damages). In the example above, if the innocent victim’s broken leg and back pain resulted in medical bills, lost wages, and/or pain and suffering, the injury would be considered to have resulted in compensatory damages (i.e., damages for which an injured party may be compensated).
Steps you should take if you have been involved in a Tuscaloosa area auto accident to protect your legal rights.
