Milbrook Car Accident Attorneys

Millbrook is a city that offers all the urban conveniences in a clean and green environment. The largest city in Elmore County, Millbrook is home to the headquarters of the Alabama Wildlife Federation, Alabama Nature Center, and the Grandview Family YMCA.

Like most Americans, the residents of Millbrook use their cars as their primary mode of transportation. With more cars on the street, the risk of accidents invariably increases. This is why auto accidents are among the leading causes of injuries, ER visits, and deaths in Millbrook and the surrounding areas.

Wilson, we have extensive experience in resolving auto accident claims and can help you get the compensation you deserve. Contact us today to talk to one of our Millbrook auto accident attorneys.

What Are the Common Causes of Auto Accidents in Millbrook, AL?

Driver inattentiveness or negligence is the single biggest cause of car accidents in Millbrook. The most common acts of negligence that can lead to auto accidents include:

  • Texting, checking email, talking on the phone, adjusting the radio, talking to passengers, or being distracted in any other way while driving
  • Driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications
  • Speeding
  • Running the red light
  • Making unsafe turns and lane changes
  • Failing to yield the right of way to other drivers
  • Tailgating

Apart from driver negligence, certain other factors can also lead to auto accidents. These may include (a) Defective vehicles, tires, or auto parts; (b) Poor road design; (c) Damaged or poorly lit road; (d) Debris on the road; and (e) Bad weather conditions.

What Are the Most Dangerous Intersections in Millbrook, AL?

  • The intersection of Coosada Parkway and Highway 14
  • The intersection of Oak Tree Road, Main Street, and Highway 14
  • The intersection of Ingram Road and Highway 14

Who Can Be Held Liable for an Auto Accident in Millbrook, AL?

  • If the accident was caused by a negligent or inattentive driver, they can be held personally liable for the accident.
  • If the accident was caused by a defective part, the company that designed it or manufactured it can be held liable.
  • If the accident was caused by dangerous or defective road conditions, the government agency responsible for building and maintaining roads can be held liable.
  • If the accident was caused by a rideshare driver, food delivery driver, or commercial truck driver, the company that employs the driver can be held liable – depending on whether the driver was on duty and was acting within the scope of their employment when the accident occurred.

What Kind of Damages Can You Recover in a Millbrook Auto Accident Claim?

Under Alabama law, you are entitled to recover economic as well as non-economic damages from the at-fault party – depending on how serious your injuries are and the extent to which your injuries have impacted your earning capacity and your ability to lead a normal life.

Economic Damages

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost earnings
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Diminished quality of life

Pain and suffering are usually the largest components of financial compensation in serious accidents and injuries. Under certain circumstances, you might also be awarded what is called punitive or exemplary damages in addition to the aforementioned damages.

Due to the fact that punitive damages are meant to punish the at-fault party, they are only awarded in cases where the at-fault party is found to have acted with malicious intent or with wanton disregard for the safety and wellbeing of others.

For example, if a heavily drunk driver crashes into your vehicle and seriously injures you, the judge or jury might decide to award you punitive to punish the at-fault party for their reckless behavior.

How Our Experienced Millbrook Auto Accident Attorneys Can Help You

From the moment you hire us, our legal team will get to work and take all the necessary steps to resolve your claim and recover the damages you are entitled to. These include:

  • Investigating your case thoroughly to find out what caused the accident and who can be held responsible for it
  • Collecting evidence (including physical evidence from the accident scene, photos and videos taken at the accident scene, witness statements, security camera footage, vehicle maintenance records, the at-fault driver’s cell phone records, and more) to establish the liability of the at-fault party
  • Getting reports from accident reconstruction specialists, highway safety experts, medical professionals, mental health experts, and other experts to support your claim
  • Negotiating with the insurance company and defending you against their victim-blaming tactics
  • Obtaining a settlement that adequately compensates you for your injuries and financial losses

A vast majority of auto accident claims in Alabama are settled out of court through negotiation. In rare cases, the insurance company might refuse to make a reasonable settlement offer for various reasons. If and when it happens, we will take your case to trial and fight as hard as we can to recover the maximum amount of damages possible.
