Proving Liability is Critical after a Phenix City Auto Accident

Seek the support of an experienced attorney before taking any legal action

The stress and confusion immediately following an auto accident can make it difficult to determine precisely what happened and who was at fault.  In some cases, negligence may be shared in varying degrees between all drivers involved.  But Alabama law follows a pure rule of contributory negligence.  Under this rule, anyone whose negligence contributes even minimally to an accident is barred from receiving any compensation from other parties, even if they were much more negligent.  This is why anyone involved in a Phenix City auto accident needs the immediate support of an experienced lawyer from Whittelsey, Whittelsey & Poole.

For a multi-vehicle Phenix City car accident, a lawyer can help obtain full compensation from a single party
