It only takes a second for a collision to occur, but the effects of a serious crash can be long-lasting. Upon being involved in an accident, it is crucial to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side who is well-versed in auto accident litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Citrin Law Firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/meet-the-team\/\">our attorneys<\/a> are available to help you fight for your rights and for the compensation you may deserve.

On average, there are more than 6 million auto accidents nationwide every year, with more than 3 million people suffering injuries and over 2 million of these injuries being permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the total number of traffic fatalities in the state of Alabama has been on the rise. From 2009 to 2010, the number of traffic fatalities increased by almost two percent, from 848 fatalities in 2009 to 862 fatalities in 2010 statewide. Of these fatal accidents, the following statistics are important to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>63 percent involved a vehicle leaving the roadway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>58 percent involved a single car<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>44 percent involved <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/high-speed-accident-lawyer\/\">speeding<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>43 percent involved <a title=\"Mobile Drunk Driving Statistics\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/mobile-drunk-driving-statistics\/\">alcohol<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>39 percent involved a <a title=\"Roll Over Accidents\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/roll-over-accidents\">vehicle rollover<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>38 percent of fatal injury victims were <a title=\"Seat Belt Injuries\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/seat-belt-injuries\/\">wearing seat belts<\/a> at the time of the crash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>17 percent of fatal accidents happened at an intersection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12 percent involve a large commercial truck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts estimate that every driver will be involved in at least one collision at some point in their lifetime. One of the leading <a title=\"Causes of Car Accidents\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/causes-of-car-accidents\/\">causes of accidents<\/a> is driver distraction, making it a growing cause for concern across the country. Alabama usually mirrors national averages in most crash statistics, so it may be beneficial to look at national statistics in order to gauge the major contributing factors to accidents in Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some studies suggest that <a title=\"Distracted Driver Accidents\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/driver-distraction-car-accidents\/\">driver distraction<\/a> is a significant fact in about 93 percent of auto accidents. They estimate that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>81 percent of accidents involve passenger distractions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>66 percent involve adjusting the radio, CD player or other music device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50 percent involve eating or drinking behind the wheel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25 percent involve talking or <a title=\"Driving While Texting In Alabama\" href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/teen-texting-driving-education\/\">texting on a cell phone<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact an Experienced Attorney Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the&nbsp;Citrin Law Firm, we offer free legal consultations to Mobile accident victims.
