Huntsville DUI Car Accident Claims Settle
Automobile accidents caused by drinking and driving are unfortunately something we see far too often. However, we are pleased that we recently resolved a motor vehicle accident claim for two clients who were involved in a wreck that was caused by a drunk driver. In this case, our clients were riding in a SUV on Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, Alabama when the at-fault driver failed to yield the right of way and made a left hand turn and struck our clients vehicle causing it to flip three times. At the scene of the crash, the investigating police officer spoke with the at-fault driver and determined he was under the influence of alcohol and he was arrested and charged with DUI. Upon being retained in this case, we investigated the background of the at-fault driver and determined he had prior arrests for DUI, which is often the case. We also spoke with and obtained an affidavit from a witness to the wreck whose statement about the erratic driving of the at-fault driver prior to the impact helped make our clients’ case even stronger.
Car accidents are on the rise, with 1.24 million people dying on the world’s roads each year. That’s greater than the population of nine different U.S. states. That number is expected to jump to 3.6 million worldwide by 2030. But despite the worldwide increase in traffic deaths, data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that the U.S. has seen an overall decrease in traffic deaths, from 15.64 per 100,000 people in 1994 to 10.39 per 100,000 in 2011.

Who is responsible for your injuries when you’re driving someone else’s car?
When you’re in an accident while driving someone else’s car, you have many of the same rights as when you’re driving your own car. You may be able to recover against the other driver if his or her negligence caused your injuries. The car owner’s insurance may be the primary insurance in the case. If you also have a liability insurance policy in your name, your insurance may be secondary.
When two insurance policies cover a loss, one will typically be deemed the “primary” insurance and the other will be deemed “secondary.”
