Car and Truck Accidents
How often do you find yourself fuming when a driver nearly hits your car only to pass him and find he was talking on the cell phone? In an era of instant communications technology, drivers are more apt than ever to be distracted behind the wheel by cell phones, GPS devices, and music players. Unfortunately, irresponsible driving often leads to vehicle collisions and severe injuries.Frequently reported collision injuries include:
- broken bones
- spinal cord injuries
- traumatic brain injury
- severe scarring, and disfigurement
If you or someone you love has been involved in a serious automobile, tractor trailer, or motorcycle accident in Alabama, seek an personal injury attorney like Attorney David Selby. Do not make the mistake that many people do in assuming their insurance or that of another driver will cover the cost of their treatment. As David would tell you, insurance companies will go to great lengths to avoid paying costs so you need an advocate who knows the law and will fight for your rights.
No monetary award can diminish the pain associated with losing a family member to a tragic accident. However, by pursuing a lawsuit against the party at fault, it may be possible to recover costs associated with medical treatment and burial expenses while receiving compensation to offset the loss of income associated with a spouse’s death. If the accident was the fault of another driver and you can show negligence on the part of that driver, you could recover costs for:
- emergency room treatment
- inpatient hospital care
- physical therapy
- in-home care
- emotional distress
- pain and suffering

This background, coupled with his focus on personal attention for his clients, makes him particularly qualified to handle cases for you or your loved ones involved in automobile, tractor-trailer, and motorcycle accidents.
Automobile
As our population grows and employees live farther from their places of employment, there are more cars on the road these days. More traffic congestion and greater driving distractions is leading to an increased number of automobile accidents. Also, because of the high speeds at which many drivers travel on major interstates, accidents there are often deadly. The American College of Surgeons indicates that traumatic injuries sustained during motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Tractor Trailer
More and more goods are being manufactured these days and large trucks are still heavily relied upon for transport of raw materials and finished goods. Because tractor trailers and other large trucks are so much larger and heavier than passenger cars, a collision with one is more apt to be life threatening or fatal. Over 10% of all Alabama’s highway deaths were truck related fatalities in 2005.
