Frequently Asked Questions

 

If the accident was my fault, can I still recover compensation?

Some states have no-fault insurance laws. This means that you may be able to make some recovery of economic damages from your own insurance company. In other states, if your fault is found to be over a certain level, it is more difficult to recover compensation. An attorney in your state can advise you on the rules in your area. Alabama applies a contributory negligence standard, which may place a severe burden on the injured person. Under a strict reading of Alabama law, you cannot recover damages if you are found to be even slightly at fault.  You should let an experience car accident attorney review the facts of your case.  

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Your attorney can speak with you about this, but even attorneys can’t necessarily pinpoint what your case is worth until it is close to a resolution. Many factors, including the circumstances of the accident, the state of the drivers involved and the insurance companies influence the outcome. So do your medical bills, your loss of income and the nature of your injuries. An experienced lawyer can work with you to decide whether to pursue legal action and how to proceed.
