Baldwin County recorded 6,154 crashes and 26 fatalities in 2024 according to ALDOT data. That number includes everyone from Eastern Shore commuters navigating US-98 in Daphne and Fairhope, to tourists on Gulf Shores Parkway who have no idea Alabama's contributory negligence law operates nothing like the states they drove in from. The roads are busier every year. The law has not gotten any more forgiving.

Simmons Law handles car accident cases throughout Baldwin County. Chris Simmons personally reviews every file. When your case goes to Baldwin County Circuit Court — located at 312 Courthouse Square in Bay Minette — you want an attorney who has been there, knows how that court works, and understands the specific roads and conditions that contributed to your crash.

Alabama is one of only a handful of states that still follows pure contributory negligence. If an insurance adjuster can establish that you were even 1% at fault for your accident, you recover nothing. Not 99% of your damages — zero. Insurance companies know this rule inside and out, and their adjusters are trained to find any thread of fault they can pin on you. A local Baldwin County attorney can identify those arguments before the adjuster makes them and protect your claim from the start.

Simmons Law serves clients across Baldwin County, including the following communities. Click your city for location-specific information about your accident, the roads involved, and how Alabama law applies to your situation.
