Fatal Car Accidents in Birmingham
Filing a wrongful death claim against a negligent driver in Alabama is different from filing in any other state. Alabama’s personal injury laws are very prohibitive, only granting punitive damages to victims. The purpose of punitive financial compensation is not to reimburse surviving family members for their loss, nor is it intended to replace the deceased’s income. Rather, the purpose of punitive damages is to act as a penalty intended to prevent or otherwise discourage the malicious or negligent act from happening again.
When victims lose their lives in accidents caused by the negligent or careless actions of other motorists, it is crucial that their families contact a wrongful death attorney in Alabama at their earliest convenience. Families may be entitled to compensation from those at-fault to alleviate the costs they face moving forward. A knowledgeable legal team, like the attorneys at the Law Office of Dwayne L.
