Attalla, Alabama Automobile Accident Attorney

Attalla is a small city in Etowah County located in northeastern Alabama. It is positioned conveniently with access to major highways and interstates—namely Interstate 59, U.S. Highways 11, 431, and 278, plus the spur Interstate 759, which connects Attalla to the larger city of Gadsden. Because of this, the city acts both as a commuter hub and as a through-point for commercial and regional traffic. The city government maintains its local roads, sideways, stormwater, and signs. Residents can report potholes and damaged sidewalks or downed traffic signage to the city.

With all these major roadways and highways in and around the Attalla and Gadsden communities, car and truck accidents are bound to occur. Often, these accidents are significant and result in catastrophic injuries, even death, to the occupants of the involved vehicles. If you or your family have been victimized by such an accident, then you need the Attalla car accident attorneys at Hollis, Wright & Clay on your side. Our team of car wreck attorneys have decades of experience representing injured individuals and families that were tragically victimized by car accidents.

To try and improve roadway safety and reduce the number of car accidents, there have been several mitigation efforts in and around Attalla. For example, a particularly rough railroad crossing on Pleasant Valley Road has been slated for repair—The City will pave it after it’s repaired. Also, a separate crossing on SR-77 nearby was temporarily closed for repairs, with detours put in place. Accidents are not uncommon: a head-on collision occurred near Gallant Road on SR-77, in which a driver was killed and several others, including children, were injured. Another fatal crash happened on I-59 near Attalla when a vehicle left the roadway and struck a bridge column. These incidents highlight safety concerns related to roadway design, signage, and driver behavior (seatbelt use, lane control), especially on higher-speed highways and at railroad crossings.

Attalla is a small city, and most residents work in nearby industry, manufacturing, and service-oriented jobs, both within Attalla and in the greater Gadsden area. Many people are employed at local plants, warehouses, and distribution centers, as well as in healthcare, retail, education, and public service. Major employers in the surrounding region include Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Koch Foods, Gadsden Regional Medical Center, and Etowah County Schools. Because of the city’s convenient location along I-59 and U.S. Highways 11, 278, and 431, most workers commute by car, often driving just 10-20 minutes to nearby Gadsden or other parts of Etowah County. Public transportation is limited, so personal vehicles are the primary mode of travel, and local roads are typically easy to navigate, with light to moderate traffic outside of peak hours. For this reason, as with most cities in Alabama, accidents are prevalent and occur on a regular basis.

After a car accident in Attalla, hiring a personal injury attorney is crucial in protecting your legal rights and ensuring you receive fair compensation. The Attalla car accident attorneys at Hollis Wright are standing by to help you. Remember that even accidents involving minor damage to the vehicles can result in serious physical injuries and damages. We routinely represent people involved in what appears to be a minor accident only to wake up a day or two later suffering from severe neck and back pain. Insurance companies love to dispute or question these types of injuries and often will not take them seriously unless an attorney is representing the injured person. Further, the insurance companies are notorious for offering a small, out-of-the-gate type settlement to lure you into settling. If you accept, then you will be forever barred from getting any further money even if your injuries get worse over time. An experienced attorney can help you avoid such a critical mistake.

Also, many accidents involve complex factors, such as determining fault, assessing property damage, and calculating medical costs and lost wages. Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand Alabama’s specific traffic and liability laws, including contributory negligence rules, which can affect whether or not you receive any compensation. Our attorneys will also ensure the at-fault party’s insurance company does not take advantage of you. Remember, the insurance company is not looking out for your best interest. Rather, the insurance company is looking to protect the bottom line of the company.

Our attorneys will document your case and gather all evidence needed to support your claim. This includes collecting accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony if necessary. In Attalla, where many accidents occur on highways like I-59 or U.S. 431, complex collisions or multi-vehicle accidents can result in disputes about liability and the severity of injuries. Our attorneys will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and if necessary, represent you in court to maximize your compensation based upon medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability and long-term care costs. When you hire us promptly after an accident, you ensure your case is handled quickly and professionally and that your rights are fully protected.
