Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) Accidents in Huntsville, AL

That depends on which side of the gate you were on. Off-post crashes on Memorial Parkway or I-565 generally go to Huntsville Police or Alabama State Troopers, and Madison County Sheriff's deputies cover the unincorporated stretches. A crash inside the installation happens on federal property, and the report may come from military police instead. Ask for the report number at the scene and confirm which agency worked it.

Madison County Circuit Court. Huntsville's city limits reach into Limestone County in places, so the crash location, not your mailing address, decides where a suit gets filed. That is a question for an attorney, not for us. We are not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice, and we connect you with an independent, licensed Alabama attorney and stop there.

It can, and it is worth raising early. A wreck during your ordinary commute is usually a plain auto claim, but if you were driving for work at the time, other coverage may come into play, and workers' compensation questions run on a separate track from a claim against the other driver. An Alabama attorney can tell you which track you are on. We cannot.

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.
