What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?
Ensure your safety first, then call the police and seek medical attention even if the injuries seem minor. Document the scene if you can, and gather contact information from witnesses. It's crucial to contact a personal injury lawyer specializing in motorcycle accidents as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is fault determined in a motorcycle accident?
Determining fault involves analyzing the accident's circumstances, including driver behavior, road conditions, and any violations of traffic laws. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and possibly accident reconstruction can play vital roles. Our experienced team works to uncover the truth and establish liability.
Can I seek compensation even if I was partially at fault for the motorcycle accident?
Yes, Alabama follows a principle called contributory negligence, but it's stringent. If you are found to be even slightly at fault, you might not recover compensation. However, don’t let this deter you from seeking legal advice, as each case is unique.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Alabama?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Alabama, including motorcycle accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, specific circumstances might extend or shorten this period, so it’s essential to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed timely.
