An accident can upend your life in seconds. You should not have to fight insurance companies while recovering from a serious injury. Our family-owned firm has represented North Alabama injury victims for more than 40 years. We investigate what happened, handle the insurers, and pursue the compensation you need to move forward. Your consultation is free, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
Two years goes quickly while you are in pain, missing work, and juggling bills. Evidence disappears too: skid marks fade, surveillance video gets recorded over, and witnesses forget or move away. The sooner you call, the more we can protect.
Some claims follow different timelines, including claims against a city, county, or other government body, and workers' compensation claims. Wrongful death claims generally must also be filed within two years of the date of death (Ala. Code § 6-5-410). Confirm your deadline with an attorney as soon as you can.
Alabama follows a strict rule called contributory negligence. If you are found even slightly at fault for your own accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. Most states are far more forgiving.
Insurance adjusters know this and use it. A casual remark about driving "a little fast" or looking away for a second can be turned against you. Limited exceptions exist, and every case turns on its facts.
Never guess about fault. If you worry you may share some blame, call us before giving any statement and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
An adjuster may sound friendly, but their job is to limit what the company pays, often by arguing you were at fault or are not as hurt as you say.
A claim is about more than proving fault. It is about recovering the money you need to move forward. Depending on your case, damages may include:
Emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgery, prescriptions, and therapy, including care you will still need.
Income missed while unable to work: pay, bonuses, commissions, and sick or vacation time you had to use.
When an injury limits how you earn, you may recover income lost across the rest of your working life.
Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life after a serious injury.
Long-term care, home or vehicle modifications, and the lifelong impact on daily living.
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and belongings, plus a rental while yours is in the shop.
Even if health insurance paid your bills and your car is repaired, you may still have a claim for lost wages, pain, and other damages. And if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, you may have other coverage to turn to.
What you do in the first hours and days can shape your claim.
Phone died? Witness left without giving a number? Your claim is not over. We have ways to work around those gaps.
If someone else's carelessness hurt you or a loved one, we can evaluate your claim. Select a case type to learn more.
Rear-end, T-bone, sideswipe, head-on, rollover, parking lot, single-car, and multi-vehicle crashes can all produce complicated claims. Proving the other driver's fault is the foundation of your recovery. We also handle uninsured and underinsured motorist claims.
Truck crashes often involve trucking companies, multiple insurers, and federal regulations, and key evidence can disappear quickly. Early investigation is critical.
Alabama's motorcycle laws on licensing, helmets, equipment, passengers, and lane use can affect both fault and compensation, whether you were the rider or a passenger.
Property owners can often argue the hazard was "open and obvious," and Alabama law expects visitors to watch for dangers they could reasonably see. Overcoming that defense takes solid evidence gathered early.
When negligence or a wrongful act takes a loved one's life, Alabama law allows a claim if the person could have brought an injury claim had they survived. Generally, the estate's personal representative files it. We can explain who may file and what the law allows.
If you were hurt on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. If someone outside your company caused the accident, you may also have a separate third-party claim.
In Alabama, a driver is considered intoxicated at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher, 0.04% for commercial drivers, and 0.02% for drivers under 21. If an impaired driver hurt you, we can pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.
No honest lawyer can promise a number on day one. Every case turns on its own facts.
There is no set timeline. Some claims settle in months. Others take longer, especially when injuries are serious, fault is disputed, or the case goes to trial.
We generally advise reaching a clear point in your medical recovery before settling, because settling too early can leave you paying for care the settlement never covered. We will keep you updated and never pressure you into a deal that doesn't fit what you have been through.
Possibly. Neck and back problems from a seemingly minor wreck can surface years later, and by then it may be too late to file. A free consultation can tell you whether you have a claim worth pursuing.

We represent clients across Huntsville, Madison County, and North Alabama in a wide range of personal injury cases. These include car accidents, 18-wheeler and truck wrecks, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall incidents, animal bites, medical malpractice, injury due to defective products, nursing home abuse or neglect, boating accidents, and wrongful death. If you have been the victim of any injury caused by someone else's neglect or carelessness, schedule a free consultation so we can evaluate your situation.
No. The initial consultation is always free, no matter what kind of case you have. If you are injured and unable to come to our office, we will come to you. If we take your personal injury case, you will not pay us anything unless we recover money for you. There is no financial risk in reaching out to discuss your situation.
Alabama allows you to file a personal injury claim up to two years following the incident. However, it is always to your benefit to begin the process as soon as possible. By contacting a personal injury lawyer while the details of the incident are fresh in your memory, you eliminate undue stress and help preserve important evidence. Filing sooner also helps provide you with the financial compensation you need to make a full recovery.
It is important to consider the long-term effects of your accident, not just the immediate impact. A minor car wreck, for example, could cause neck or back problems several years down the road. Once those symptoms become evident, it would be too late to file a personal injury claim. Whether your accident resulted in life-altering injuries or not, any type of accident negatively affects your life and you may deserve financial compensation. Our team can help you understand your options during a free consultation.
If you had an auto accident caused by another driver who had no insurance, there is still hope. We can often recover money for you even if the driver who caused the crash had no coverage. We may also be able to recover from insurance policies on vehicles that were not involved directly in the wreck. Even if you did not have insurance yourself, if other cars were involved, there may be a chance we can recover money for you. The only way to know is to let a lawyer evaluate your case.
We recommend letting us evaluate your case first. Before you agree to settle or sign anything following a car wreck, you should seek legal counsel. Insurance companies focus on minimizing what they pay, not on making the process easier for you. Even small missteps — such as saying the wrong thing to an adjuster — can affect your claim. We can help you make the right decision and provide honest advice on any offer you have received.
Every case is different, but compensation in a personal injury case may cover medical expenses (including hospital visits, therapy, and medication), lost wages from missed work, pain and physical limitations that affect your daily life, property damage such as vehicle repair or replacement costs, and other related expenses like transportation to medical appointments. Our Huntsville personal injury attorneys look closely at how the accident has affected your health, your work, and your daily life to help build a clear picture of your losses.
You may still be able to recover money from your car crash, even if your medical bills have been paid and your car is already repaired. We are able to help clients recover money for lost wages, pain, suffering, and other damages in many situations. A free consultation with our team can help you understand whether you still have a viable claim.
