Our Injury Attorney Handles Many Types of Negligence Injury Cases

When you call on our lawyer to manage your Tuskegee personal injury case, we use our experience and knowledge about similar cases to develop the strongest possible case against the party whose careless or reckless actions caused your accident and injuries.

In the legal world, this is known as negligence. Most personal injury cases stem from someone’s negligence, and we must show how negligence occurred to hold them accountable. There are four necessary elements of negligence:

• Duty of care
• Breach of duty
• Causation
• Injuries and other harm

We investigate the accident to determine what happened and identify the liable party. Then, we present evidence to their insurance carrier or a judge and jury to seek fair compensation.

Some types of accidents and injuries we handle include the following:

• Auto and Vehicle Accidents: Alabama law allows us to hold at-fault drivers accountable for injuries and damages in crashes they cause. This includes almost any type of collision caused by a negligent motorist, such as car accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents.
• Truck Accidents: Our attorney handles several serious injury truck accident cases each year. When these crashes occur, we generally pursue a case against the trucking company. This is true even when the commercial driver is negligent and at fault.
• Catastrophic Injuries: We can help victims get justice for life-altering, catastrophic injuries, allowing them to pay for their treatment and management of their injuries.
• Wrongful Death: We help clients navigate Alabama’s wrongful death laws to seek punitive damages when possible.
• Medical Malpractice: We hold doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers accountable when they fail to provide an acceptable standard of care and patients suffer harm.
• Nursing Home Abuse: Nursing home owners and administrators are legally responsible for abuse and neglect injuries suffered by residents. We hold them accountable.
• Premises Liability: We help injured clients recover compensation from property owners who allowed unreasonable hazards on their property. This includes slip and falls, burns, dog bites, and many other injuries.
• On-the-Job Injuries: We help injured workers understand their rights and seek a payout through workers’ compensation and/or a third-party personal injury case.

If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a negligence accident, contact us. We will review your case and explain your options. Our attorney fights for fair compensation for victims hurt in these cases.

Our Personal Injury Attorney Pursues Compensation Based on Injuries and Damages

Many of our clients receive care at East Alabama Medical Center (EAMC), a Level III trauma center. Those who require higher level or specialized care may be transferred to another trauma center, often in Atlanta or Birmingham.

Treatment, rehabilitation, and support for moderate and serious injuries are expensive. From emergency transportation to stabilization to inpatient care, the costs can become overwhelming. Many also require ongoing monitoring and continued therapies and support. These costs come while they are away from work and have other bills and expenses coming in. This situation is often a source of immense financial stress for many accident victims.

Our accident lawyer in Tuskegee seeks a payout that adequately covers these costs while also ensuring our clients can pay for their ongoing and future care needs. Some of the common damages we recover for our clients include the following:

• Intangible losses, also known as non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering
• Medical bills and future healthcare needs
• Ongoing care and support for catastrophic injuries
• Income losses for time away from work
• Reduced earning potential if victims cannot return to work
• Property damage repair or replacement
• Out-of-pocket costs with receipts

Our Injury Lawyer Manages Wrongful Death Cases

When a family loses a loved one because of someone else’s negligence, they may have the option to seek justice. Alabama law does allow families to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. However, the lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. Additionally, the state only allows punitive damages after a wrongful death, per APJI 1128 Wrongful Death PL.

Our personal injury lawyer serving Tuskegee can explain how Alabama wrongful death lawsuits work in more detail. These cases are often difficult to navigate and win. Our legal team extends our condolences if you lost a loved one, and we will review your case with you and explain your options for free. Contact us today to learn more.

Our Personal Injury Lawyer Develops Compelling Cases Based on Accidents

When our Tuskegee lawyer accepts a personal injury case and represents an injured victim, justice is the goal. This includes recovering fair compensation and holding the at-fault party accountable. To accomplish that goal, we will gather evidence and build strong support for negotiations or litigation.

Many cases settle without going to trial. Our lawyer often negotiates a settlement that is agreeable to our client and fairly compensates them for their injuries, damages, and other harm.

However, we file lawsuits, prepare to take cases to trial, and present evidence to judges and juries when necessary to secure a fair payout for our clients. When we represent you, we will fight for the money you deserve.

When Should You Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

We encourage accident victims in Tuskegee to call our attorney as soon as possible after their injuries occur. When you hire our team, we take over handling your insurance claim and legal case. This service includes taking any calls and responding to inquiries from the insurance carriers and other parties. You do not have to worry about them and can focus on healing.

It also allows us to take actions to preserve evidence, such as sending spoliation letters, seeking eyewitnesses’ accounts, and collecting videos while they are still available.

When we need to sue, Alabama law limits how long we can wait. There is a two-year limit for filing injury and wrongful death lawsuits: AL Code § 6-2-38 for personal injury cases and AL Code § 6-5-410 in wrongful deaths.
