Phenix City Personal Injury Attorneys

Helping Victims of Personal Injury Pursue Compensation in Alabama

When you or a loved one has been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you are entitled to compensation from those responsible. It is usually the guilty party’s insurance provider that is responsible for paying out; unfortunately, these companies are usually more concerned with protecting their business interests than helping you. You will need a skilled lawyer to help you obtain the full compensation that you are owed.

The personal injury lawyers at Loftin, Loftin & May in Phenix City are prepared to fight on behalf of victims of car accidents and other injuries. We can help you find out what your case is actually worth — beyond the initial sum the insurance company may have offered you. Our legal team proudly serves clients around the Columbus, GA area.

Know What You Are Entitled to After an Accident

Many of our clients were injured in car accidents. Insurance companies are called on to pay for these accidents on a daily basis, and they have learned various ways to underpay the victims. One major benefit of hiring an injury attorney is that we can deal with the insurance company for you. Many insurance providers will try offering small payouts upfront to avoid paying what you are actually owed. It is important that you receive the full value of what your case is worth so that you have ample funds to pay for medical bills and other recovery expenses.

Personal injury cases we handle include:

• Car accidents - Car accidents occur every single day in the United States and oftentimes are a direct result of negligence. While not every injury is severe, most require medical attention and can result in large hospital bills. You shouldn't have to face the financial consequences on your own, especially if the accident wasn't your fault.
• Truck accidents - Trucking accidents often result in serious or catastrophic injuries; sometimes even the death of a loved one. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a trucking accident in Alabama, our personal injury lawyers are here to help.
• Motorcycle accidents - Similar to truck accidents, motorcycle accidents are often the cause of serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. These life-altering injuries can also result in many unforeseen expenses. Our injury lawyers can help you get the compensation you need so you can focus on recovery and rehabilitation.
• Slip & fall accidents - These types of injuries often occur on premises that are not properly maintained. If you have been injured as a result of someone else's failure to exercise proper care of their facilities, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.
• Bicycle accidents - Hit by a vehicle while riding your bicycle? If your accident was caused by the drivers' negligence, you deserve justice. Cyclists have rights to the road and it is the responsibility of motorists to exercise care when sharing the road with them.
• Workers’ compensation - Injured on the job? Our injury attorneys in Phenix City can help you file a claim, or pursue an appeal if your claim has been denied.

You will want to contact a Phenix City injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident so that they have ample time to investigate the details while the events are fresh in everyone’s minds.

What is Alabama's Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury?

A statute of limitations is a law that dictates how long after your accident you are allowed to filing a lawsuit against the responsible party. This law varies from one state to the next, so it's important to know the statute of limitations that applies to the state you live in.

In Alabama victims of personal injury may file a lawsuit up to two years after the date of your injury. If you do not file your lawsuit within this time, your case will most likely be dismissed and you will be unable to pursue compensation. Don't delay! Contact Loftin, Loftin & May today to get started!
