Gadsden, Alabama Automobile Accident Attorney

Located about 56 miles northeast of Birmingham, Gadsden is the seat of Etowah County and is home to nearly 37,000 citizens. Although Gadsden was once a thriving center for commerce, it no longer holds this distinction. The city’s proximity to the Coosa River made it the second busiest Alabama city for commerce and trade at a time when riverboats were still operating to transport goods in the 19th Century. In the 1980s, Gadsden was home to several heavy industrial companies, but industry declined sharply in the 1990s. Despite this and due to efforts to revitalize downtown, Gadsden received first place in the City Livability Program in 2000.

The Alabama Transportation Director states that the City of Gadsden in 2013 witnessed 1,624 automobile accidents, six of which resulted in deaths and 527 of which resulted in injury. Etowah County recorded 1,624 total auto accidents with 13 deaths and 1,025 injuries. These statistics highlight the fact that automobile accidents touch every corner of the state. Those who live and work in Gadsden, as well as those who are visiting, are at risk for life-changing accidents on the roads.
