Understanding Multi-Car Accidents and Their Impact in Greenville
In recent years, Greenville has seen a concerning rise in multi-car accidents, reflecting a broader trend across Alabama. According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, over 1,500 injury crashes occurred in Butler County in 2022, with a significant portion involving multiple vehicles. These incidents not only impact those directly involved but also strain local emergency services and disrupt traffic flow for hours. Increased awareness of road safety and adherence to traffic laws are critical to reducing these numbers.
If you are involved in a multi-car accident, you may wonder what kind of injuries you can claim compensation for. You can claim compensation for a range of injuries, including but not limited to physical injuries like fractures or whiplash, emotional distress, and psychological impacts such as anxiety or PTSD related to the accident. Fault in a multi-car accident is determined by investigating the circumstances of the crash, which may include police reports, witness statements, and traffic laws.
Alabama follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced based on your percentage of fault. It’s important to note that you can still file a claim even if you were partially at fault; however, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault as determined by the court.
