About McPhillips Shinbaum, LLP

It is very important that you understand Alabama’s laws regarding shared fault, as this can have a huge effect on whether you’re able to recover any compensation for your losses. The state of Alabama is one of only a handful of states in the nation that maintains a pure contributory negligence rule . This rule holds that if a plaintiff in a personal injury suit of any type, including a car accident suit, has contributed to their injuries in the slightest way, they are barred from recovering damages. In other words, if the defendant can prove that you were even one percent to blame for the crash or your related injuries, they are protected from liability for your injuries. This rule is one of the strongest reasons to hire a car accident lawyer if you have been in a crash.
