VEHICLE ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Nothing hurts more than losing a loved one killed due to negligence. A wrongful death lawsuit can’t bring the person you love back, but it can help you get compensation for your loss and ensure whoever was responsible can’t hurt anyone else. An action for wrongful death belongs to the victim’s immediate family members, such as the surviving spouse and children. A lawsuit for wrongful death may only be brought by the personal representative of the victim’s estate. Alabama has specific laws that establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. The best way to find out if you have a valid claim is to consult an experienced wrongful death lawyer.

If you were injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, or if a loved one suffered a wrongful death in an auto crash, our Huntsville, AL car accident attorneys can help you recover financial compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and property damage.

  • Drunk driver accidents

We prepare each case as if it will go to trial by thoroughly investigating your car accident. This includes documenting the accident scene, reviewing the police report, and interviewing any witnesses. When necessary, we will consult an accident re-constructionist and other experts to build your case. We will also speak with your medical providers to determine the cause of your injuries.

In Alabama, you must prove that your injuries resulted from the negligent acts or omissions of another person or business before you can recover compensation. The burden is on the person seeking compensation to prove the fault of the other party and to prove that his/her injuries were caused by the acts or omissions of the other party. If these elements can be proven, then you may recover compensation for your injuries. Our Huntsville, AL car accident attorneys will identify all possible sources of compensation for your injuries and contact the appropriate insurance companies on your behalf.

Each case is very different and depends on many factors, such as strength of proof, theory of liability, defendants, insurance companies, and so on. At your direction, we will negotiate with the insurance companies in an effort to resolve your claim. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we stand ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf. Our lawyers will aggressively pursue a just resolution to your claim.
