The Basics of Mobile Auto Accident Law

In the event of a routine Mobile traffic accident, your auto insurance covers your own and other motorists" costs. Your insurance company will pay the typical costs for repair or replacement of the other driver"s vehicle, and it will cover the driver"s and passengers" medical and rehabilitation costs. Your insurance company probably will reach a settlement for other compensatory damages-lost wages and the cost of "loss of the enjoyment of life," otherwise known as "pain and suffering."

In a severe accident involving multiple vehicles and multiple serious injuries, your insurance probably still will cover compensatory damages for all the victims. If, however, you are at-fault in the serious accident, your insurance probably will not cover "punitive" damages, and you remain vulnerable to the victims" civil suits.

Awarding punitive damages, judges and juries intend to send a clear, strong message to other drivers, letting them know that the citizens will not tolerate recklessness or driving under the influence in the community. If you are held at-fault in the most devastating kind Mobile traffic accident, one involving permanent disability or fatality, your insurance may not stretch to cover all your costs, and victims may sue you for negligence, reckless endangerment, or wrongful death. Even if the courts find you not guilty in a criminal action for manslaughter, the victims still can win their civil actions against you, because the standards of proof differ dramatically in the two court systems.
