Montgomery's interstates and intersections are among the most dangerous in the state – and insurance companies move fast to protect themselves.
A distracted driver drifts into your lane on I-65 as you head north toward Prattville. A tractor-trailer jackknifes during an afternoon thunderstorm at the I-65/I-85 interchange near downtown. An impaired driver runs a red light on Eastern Boulevard, t-boning your vehicle on the way home from the Eastchase shopping district.
Alabama law puts crash victims in one of the country's harshest legal landscapes.
The statute of limitations for most car accident claims is two years from the date of the crash under Ala. Code § 6-2-38, and Alabama is one of only a handful of states that still follows the pure contributory negligence rule – meaning if the insurance company can pin even 1% of the fault on you, your entire claim can be barred. Adjusters know this rule, and they routinely call injured drivers within days of a wreck hoping for a recorded statement that shifts a sliver of blame and kills the case.
How our Montgomery attorneys build your case.
At Wettermark Keith, we take those calls so you don't have to. Our team will:
- Investigate the crash scene and preserve evidence before it disappears.
- Pull police reports from the Montgomery Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
- Work with accident reconstructionists when the crash facts are disputed.
- Identify every potentially liable party – driver, employer, insurer, and any commercial defendant.
- Build a case designed to beat Alabama's 1% contributory-negligence trap.
We handle claims for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and – in cases involving drunk, distracted, or commercial drivers – punitive damages.
