Settlements for Car Accidents

People injured in car accidents may be able to recover compensation if the accident is the fault of the other driver. You must be able to show fault on the part of the other driver in order to recover damages. If you are even partially at fault, you may not recover any compensation.

Due to the uniqueness of Alabama’s car accident law and contributory negligence rule, it is important to seek the advice of a qualified attorney.

You may be able to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage

Our Phenix City car accident attorneys represent clients with a wide variety of car accident injuries. Car wrecks commonly cause fractures, neck injuries, back injuries, soft tissue injuries, and other serious injuries. Often, car accident injuries result in medical bills, the need for extensive rehabilitation, and loss of income.

Common Injuries Sustained in Car Accidents

After being involved in a crash, there are a multitude of different types of injuries that victims may suffer from. Some are easier to detect than others, while other may take months, sometimes even years to uncover. Many car accident injuries also require surgery, which can lead to expensive medical bills for the victim.

Serious Car Accident Injuries:

• Head injuries (including traumatic brain injuries and concussions)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal bleeding
• Broken or crushed bones
• Torn ligaments or muscles (also known as soft-tissue injuries)
• Chest injuries (including broken ribs and internal bleeding)

Minor Car Accident Injuries:

• Minor cuts and bruises
• Minor concussions
• Minor sprains

Regardless what types of injuries you suffered, if they were caused by someone else's negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation to help offset the cost of medical bills and recovery treatment.

Alabama Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents

Alabama and Georgia have both established a two-year statute of limitations for car accident injury claims. The law establishes high standards for proving fault. Working with an experienced car accident attorney can help you successfully recover compensation for your damages.

We encourage you to contact our law firm as soon as possible to allow time for us to investigate your claim and gather witness information, pictures of the accident scene, details about the accident, the police report, and other evidence to prove fault to get the justice you deserve.
