What To Do After a Car Accident

Move to safety and call 911. Get medical care even for aches that feel minor. Take photos, exchange information, and collect witness names. Do not argue fault at the scene. Notify your insurer. Before giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s carrier, speak with a local attorney who can guide you through the insurance claim and protect your options.

Alabama Car Accident Laws Basics

Alabama is an at-fault state. The driver who caused the crash is responsible for damages. Our state also follows contributory negligence. If an insurer proves you were even slightly at fault, recovery can be denied. This is why carriers rush to blame the victim. The statute of limitations for most injury claims is two years from the date of the wreck. We prepare evidence early to counter blame shifting and keep your case on track in Madison County.

When a wreck upends your week, we outline repair, medical, and claim options, build a plan, and push for a fair, timely result.

We secure police reports, scene photos, and video when available from corridors like Memorial Parkway and University Drive. We interview witnesses and consult with reconstruction experts if needed.

Common Car Accident Injuries and Compensation

Whiplash, fractures, concussions, and back injuries can keep you out of work and away from family. Even soft tissue injuries can linger and require therapy. We pursue payment for emergency care, follow-up treatment, prescriptions, property damage, rental car costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

FAQS

Straight answers for North Alabama drivers

  • How much is my car accident case worth?

    It depends on injuries, proof of fault, medical costs, and available insurance. We provide a practical range after reviewing records.

  • Should I accept the first offer?

    Not before speaking with counsel. Early offers often miss future care and lost income.

  • What if I was partly at fault?

    Contributory negligence is strict. Do not assume fault without a careful review of the facts.

  • How long does a claim take?

    Minor claims may settle in months. Serious injuries or lawsuits take longer. We move promptly while protecting full value.

  • Can I afford a lawyer?

    We work on contingency. You pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation.
