Accidents in and around Auburn

Auburn runs along I-85 between Montgomery and the Georgia line. Opelika sits right next door and shares much of the same road network. Most local driving happens on US-29 and the streets around Auburn University. Game weekends change College Street entirely. Here is the part worth understanding before you talk to anyone: Alabama never adopted the comparative-fault rule most states use, so rather than your recovery being trimmed by your share of the blame, any share at all can end it. The courthouse is in Opelika, not Auburn. That is where a suit would be filed, in the Lee County Circuit Court. You have 2 years from the date of the crash.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get my crash report in Auburn?

From the agency that responded. Auburn police work city streets, the Lee County Sheriff's Office covers county roads, and Alabama State Troopers work I-85. Auburn University has its own campus police for crashes on university property. Alabama crash reports generally appear in the state portal a few days after the wreck, for a fee. Getting the report number at the scene is the easiest thing you can do for yourself.

Where would a Lee County injury case actually be heard?

In Opelika. The Lee County Circuit Court sits at the county courthouse there rather than in Auburn, so an Auburn crash still means a trip up US-29 if the case ever reaches a courtroom. Alabama gives you 2 years to file it. An independent, licensed Alabama attorney handles that part. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice.

I am a student here and my parents' insurance is from another state. Does that matter?

For the crash itself, Alabama law generally applies because the wreck happened in Alabama, and that includes both the 2-year deadline and the contributory-negligence bar. Your policy is a separate question, and out-of-state coverage can still apply to an Alabama accident. An attorney licensed here can read the policy with you. We point you to one, and that is the whole of what we do.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Alabama?

In Alabama, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 2 years personal injury; wrongful death 2 years (measured from death). Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
