Despite its small size, Hartselle faces several traffic and roadway challenges. For instance, when a stretch of I-65 northbound once closed due to a sinkhole, detour traffic surged through Highway 31, putting strain on local streets and pushing vehicles into residential areas. The city is actively addressing infrastructure needs. For instance, the city recently received more than $1.5 million in state funds (plus local matching dollars) to rework the median on Highway 31, as well as add left-turn lanes to improve safety and support economic growth. In addition, routine road maintenance on I-85 has led to lane closures and paving work between Hartselle and nearby Priceville, causing intermittent congestion and travel delays. Moreover, traffic incidents can be a concern: a recent major crash at the intersection of AL-36 and U.S. 31 triggered significant delays, underlining both the volume and risk associated with these key junctions.

According to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), the segment of I-65 passing through Morgan County, which includes Hartselle, carries roughly 54,000 vehicles daily in certain sections. This figure comes from traffic counts cited as part of a major resurfacing project on I-65.

Traffic in Morgan County and in the City of Hartselle is heavily influenced by its role as a regional travel corridor in North Alabama. Major routes, including I-65, US Hwy 31, and Alabama Hwy 36, run through or near Hartselle, carrying a steady mix of local commuters, commercial trucks, and long-distance travelers. I-65, in particular, connects the area to Huntsville, Decatur, and Birmingham, which leads to higher traffic volumes during morning and evening rush hours, as well as increased congestion on weekends and holidays.

Car accidents can cause you and your family significant hardship depending on the injuries and damages sustained by the victims. The sustained injuries could take you out of work for a prolonged period of time. It could leave you and your family with mounting medical bills. When this happens, it is critically important to hire experienced car wreck attorneys to represent you. It is a huge mistake to try and handle the claim on your own.

The involved automobile insurance company for the at-fault driver often prioritizes its own profits over your recovery. The claims adjusters are trained to minimize what they pay out, and they may contact you quickly after the accident to get statements or details before you've had time to fully assess your damages and injuries. They may ask you to give a recorded statement, downplay your pain, or encourage you to accept a lowball settlement that doesn't cover future medical bills or full vehicle repair costs. If you say something that can be interpreted as admitting any fault, even unintentionally, the insurer can use that against you to reduce or deny your claim. Adjusters may also delay processing or request excessive documentation in hopes you'll give up or settle for less than you deserve. Statistics show that the insurance companies do not take unrepresented victims seriously and will look to take advantage.

The tactics can feel especially frustrating in a community like Hartselle. The city regularly sees commuters likely to rely on major roadways such as Interstate 65, US Route 31, and Alabama State Route 36. All of these roads carry a mix of local and through traffic. Traffic crashes are common in both small towns and larger metro areas, and statistics for Hartselle show hundreds of reported crashes in years past, with people injured, as well as property damage. Because of this, be sure to get solid documentation, including a police report and clear evidence of your injuries and vehicle damage, before negotiating with the at-fault insurer. Without it, they may argue that your injuries aren't severe, that repairs are cheaper than you claim, or push you to settle before medical treatment is complete. Getting legal advice and ensuring all evidence (photos, medical records, witness information, and official crash reports) is properly organized can help protect your rights and make sure you're not taken advantage of in the claims process.
