Questions
Why should I hire a personal injury attorney?
A personal injury attorney ensures your legal rights are protected, especially in Alabama's contributory negligence system, where partial blame could bar recovery. We handle negotiations and litigation to secure fair compensation.
Do I need an attorney to file a personal injury claim?
While not legally required, an attorney significantly improves your chances of fair compensation. Insurance companies often offer low settlements to unrepresented victims, and legal expertise is crucial in complex cases.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Alabama?
Most personal injury cases in Alabama have a two-year statute of limitations from the injury date. Filing promptly ensures evidence preservation and compliance with legal deadlines.
What types of damages can I recover?
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future earnings loss. Non-economic damages like mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life are also compensable.
How much does a personal injury attorney cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, charging 33.3% of your settlement if resolved before trial. There are no upfront fees, and payment only occurs if we win your case.
