Traffic Problems in Trussville

As the city continues to grow, its roadway network faces mounting challenges, particularly on key roadways like I-59, Highway 11 (Gadsden Highway), and North Chalkville Road. A major infrastructure overhaul is underway to widen a four-mile stretch of I-59 from the I-459 interchange to Chalkville Mountain Road, expanding it from four to six lanes with new 12-foot lanes and shoulders and carries a price tag of around $70 million. Once completed, these projects should help ease traffic problems in the Trussville area.

Beyond I-59, drivers face additional roadway concerns. Highway 11 has seen problematic resurfacing and paint striping, making lane lines nearly invisible, especially when wet, and raising safety concerns. North Chalkville Road also experiences regular backups, with some residents reporting delays of 18 minutes or more just to reach the interstate, and warnings that the new hospital development may worsen congestion. Moreover, the complexity of merging from US 11 into I-459 or I-59 has been criticized in local forums as dangerous and poorly configured. All of these traffic related problems increase the chance of being involved in a motor vehicle collision so staying alert and driving with care and caution is essential.

Insurance companies, whether you’re in Trussville or anywhere else in Alabama, typically use a variety of strategies to minimize payouts to people injured in car accidents. Some common tactics include:

• Challenging Liability: They may argue that you were partially or fully at fault, even if the accident wasn’t your fault. This can reduce the amount they must pay.
• Disputing the Severity of Injuries: Adjusters often claim that your injuries are less serious than they really are, or they will argue that you had a pre-existing condition in the area of the body that you injured and therefore your claim is not worth as much.
• Delaying the Claims Process: Prolonging investigations or paperwork can pressure injured people into accepting lower settlements out of financial need. Don’t fall for this tactic. We can help!
• Offering Quick, Low Settlements: Insurers sometimes offer early, low-ball settlements before the full extent of injuries and medical costs are known. If you accept an offer and sign paperwork, your claim is over. You will not be able to seek additional compensation if your injuries get worse. Don’t settle early!
• Using Your Statements Against You: Anything you say in recorded statements can be used to minimize or deny your claim. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company!
• Requesting Unnecessary or Excessive Documentation: This can create frustration and delay, sometimes leading claimants to give up or accept less. Let our team handle the burden of gathering all of your medical records and bills.
