Every day, thousands of large commercial trucks travel in and through Alabama. Although the 18-wheelers provide an important role in our economy, they also pose serious risks to unsuspecting drivers and passengers who share the road with them. Car accidents often have minor injuries that heal in a short period of time. Truck accidents rarely have minor injuries, and often cause death or serious brain, spinal cord, or bone injuries.

Causes of Alabama Truck Accidents

Many trucking companies do a good job maintaining their trucks and training their drivers. Unfortunately, many truck drivers and their companies still are negligent and cause accidents by:

Driving Drunk
Driver Error
Poor truck maintenance
Driver fatigue
Other Causes

Contributory Negligence and Fault in Alabama Truck Accidents

Alabama is one of only five contributory negligence states. The other four states include, the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia.
In contributory negligence states, the injured party who is found to have contributed to the accident cannot recover for any of their injuries. This means that if you are partially at fault for the accident, you will not recover anything in your case. Passengers in your car can recover against the negligent truck driver if they are injured, but cannot normally recover against you for negligence because of the Alabama guest passenger statute.
