If a family member has been injured due to another motorist's negligence, or you have lost a loved one in a fatal crash, you may have a case for compensation.

We advise clients not to speak to an insurance company representative about their car accident claims until they have consulted with a lawyer. The claims adjuster is interested in promoting the bottom line of his or her insurance company he or she represents. If you settle quickly because you are worried about medical expenses, you may end up with less money than you need. Call us today at 256-405-0645.
Before you speak to an adjuster, before you sign any forms, and before you hire an attorney, get a copy of a free book titled Seven Ways to Maximize the Value of Your Personal Injury Claim.
Negligence Law 101
When you file a compensation claim, you are asserting that someone else contributed to or caused the accident which resulted in your injury. Alabama is a contributory negligence state. Alabama is one of only four states that still have contributory negligence. Contributory negligence means that if you are even one percent negligent, you cannot recover. That is why it is important to talk to an attorney. We know how to work around this to make sure you recover.
In cases like these, it is important to have a personal injury attorney with plenty of courtroom experience and knowledge of the law — someone who will advocate for your best interests and pursue fair compensation for medical bills, lost work time and pain and suffering.
Car Accident Insurance Coverage
If the motorist who hit you has no insurance or only minimal insurance, you may be able to tap into the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your automobile insurance policy. This coverage is relatively inexpensive, and protects your family against unexpected medical bills if a serious car wreck occurs.
