Fight for the Compensation You Deserve
In 2023, more than 40,900 people were killed in motor-vehicle crashes nationwide — and nearly 1,000 of them on Alabama roads alone. On busy roads, crashes are inevitable; facing the insurance company alone afterward doesn't have to be.
From expensive hospital bills to lost income and pain that doesn't show up on an X-ray, car crashes change lives in ways that outlast the dent in your bumper. We can help you seek compensation for:
- Hospital bills
- Physical rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of past and future income
- Funeral and death-related expenses
Our attorneys are experienced in Alabama law and know how to pursue full compensation from negligent drivers and their insurers — including how to coordinate benefits between health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and automobile med-pay provisions to maximize your net recovery.
What to Do After an Auto Accident
If you've ever been in a car accident, you know how frightening it can be. A few things matter more than they might seem to in the moment:
- Get witness information immediately. A witness who stops out of concern will often leave once it's clear no one appears seriously hurt. If liability is disputed later — common in intersection collisions — an independent witness can make or break your case.
- Say nothing that could be read as an admission of fault. The other driver's insurance company is not on your side. Don't give any statement, to them or their insurer, until you've spoken with an attorney.
- Document the scene. Photograph damage to both vehicles and any debris in the roadway. This evidence matters if fault is contested later.
- Get medical attention right away. If you don't have health insurance, we may be able to help you access treatment through our network of providers with no upfront cost. Thorough, timely medical documentation is critical both to your health and to your claim.
- Call an attorney before you call the adjuster. A free consultation costs you nothing and starts the clock in your favor.
