You know when you are in Alabama, you are subject to Alabama’s law. So if you are injured here in Alabama, but you live out of state, you are still going to need a personal injury attorney from Alabama that is familiar with Alabama law, especially Alabama personal injury law, and Alabama juries, because your case will ultimately be tried in a federal jurisdiction or in the state court jurisdiction where your accident happened. So, you are going to need someone familiar and experienced with Alabama trial work in order to get a strong resolution.

How Much is My Case Worth?

This is an extremely difficult question to answer. The value of a case is based on a wide range of criteria including:

The extent of your injuries
Your inability to work / loss of earnings capacity
Your age
Past medical bills
Future medical bills
Pain and Suffering
Whether injuries are temporary or permanent
The insurance coverage of the other party
The identity and financial condition of the other party
and other factors.

All cases are unique and we assess them on a case-by-case basis.

How Do I Know if I Have a Case?

To have a personal injury case, you must have suffered an injury, and that injury had to be at least partially the fault of another. The injury can be physical or non-physical depending upon the case and the basis of the lawsuit. Invasion of privacy, assault, infliction of emotional distress or an attack on your reputation are examples of injuries that are non-physical.

How Long Will My Lawsuit Take?

Some cases settle within weeks, while others require litigation and can take over a year to reach completion.
