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.

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.
