Motorcycle crashes often result in severe, life-altering injuries. Getting immediate medical treatment is essential. For emergency care, victims are typically transported to Thomas Hospital in Fairhope, AL, or across the bay via the Jubilee Parkway (Interstate 10) to USA Health University Hospital in Mobile. Our legal team will coordinate with your medical providers to collect and organize all medical records, diagnostic tests, and bills to build a strong case.
Alabama follows a contributory negligence fault system. This means that if a plaintiff is even one percent at fault for the motorcycle accident, he or she could be barred from recovering any damages. Our experienced lawyers can navigate these stringent rules to advocate for your best interests so that we present your case as strongly as possible.
In Alabama, motorcycle insurance coverage is mandatory. Each state mandates minimum coverage amounts for bodily injury and property damage, and Alabama follows an at-fault system where the responsible party must pay for damages.
Alabama does not require drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on motorcycle policies. Therefore, in the event of an accident, you must seek recovery from the at-fault party’s insurance or turn to your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) offers protection when the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance or does not have any. These coverages provide compensation for damages from your own insurance company when there would otherwise be none.
It is important to note that these claims are complex and not always straightforward. Be sure to speak with a knowledgeable attorney to navigate these challenges and get a better understanding of your options and the compensation you are eligible to receive.
When giving an account of the crash, it is best to stick to the basic facts about what happened. Do not speculate about what occurred. Keep it short and do not talk about how you are feeling or express guilt. Our experienced motorcycle injury lawyers will advise you on how best to proceed with your specific case.
If you or a family member suffered any of these injuries while riding their motorcycle due to the negligent or reckless behavior of another, you are entitled to compensation. Hurt? Call 8!

Daphne Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Statistically, drivers of passenger vehicles are at fault in more than half of all multi-vehicle motorcycle crashes, primarily because they fail to detect or recognize the motorcycle in traffic. According to data from the National Safety Council (NSC), the single most common fatal motorcycle accident scenario is an intersection collision where a car makes a left-hand turn directly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle because the driver misjudged the rider’s speed or distance.
If you’ve been struck by a driver who claimed they “didn’t see you” on Hwy 98 or I-10, the legal team at Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys can help prove the driver’s negligence and protect your rights.
Under Alabama state law, both motorcycle operators and passengers are strictly required to wear an approved protective helmet that fits securely with a fastened chin strap, regardless of age. Additionally, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) mandates that both the rider and passenger must wear shoes while operating or riding a motorcycle.
While protective eyewear or a high-windshield is highly recommended to block road debris across Baldwin County, it is not legally mandated if your bike meets basic equipment standards. Failing to wear a helmet can dramatically impact both your physical safety and the outcome of a personal injury claim, making compliance essential.
No, lane splitting—the practice of riding a motorcycle between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane—is strictly illegal throughout the state of Alabama.
According to the rules of the road outlined in Alabama Code § 32-5A-242, motorcycles are entitled to the full use of a traffic lane, and no vehicle is permitted to drive in a way that deprives them of that space. Motorcyclists are permitted to ride a maximum of two abreast (side-by-side) within a single lane, but they cannot weave between lanes or pass vehicles within the same lane.
If you are involved in a traffic accident in Daphne, Alabama Code § 32-10-1 outlines strict immediate obligations you must fulfill to avoid criminal charges:
Stop Immediately: Pull over as close to the scene as safely possible without completely obstructing traffic.
Exchange Information: Give your name, address, and vehicle registration number to the other driver or occupants.
Render Reasonable Aid: Provide assistance to anyone injured, which includes making arrangements or calling for medical transport to a local emergency room.
The “Move It” Law: If there are no apparent injuries and the vehicles are safely drivable, you are expected to move them off the main roadway to prevent secondary collisions.
Fleeing the scene of an accident in Alabama carries severe criminal penalties that scale based on the damage caused, governed by Alabama Code § 32-10-6:
Property Damage Only: Leaving the scene of an accident that only caused vehicular or property damage is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and heavy court fines.
Injury or Fatality: If a rider or driver is injured or killed and you flee, the charge automatically escalates to a Class C felony, carrying a mandatory prison sentence of one to ten years.
Furthermore, a conviction for a hit-and-run involving injuries forces the Department of Public Safety to automatically revoke your driver’s license. If you are the victim of a hit-and-run on Baldwin County roads, the team at andywins.com works aggressively alongside local law enforcement to track down the liable driver and hold them civilly responsible.
