If you have lost a loved one as a result of a fatal auto accident, you may have many questions about how to best protect your rights. To schedule a free consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney, contact the Drake Law Firm in Birmingham, Alabama.
Protect Your Rights
If you have just lost a member of your family as a result of a fatal motor vehicle accident, contacting an attorney may be the last thing on your mind. Unfortunately, the passage of time can play a significant role in the outcome of a personal injury claim.
Right now, the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident is likely gathering evidence that may be used to defend him or her against a wrongful death claim. It may have already spoken to witnesses, taken pictures of the accident scene and taken other vital steps to provide a strong defense to any potential personal injury claim.
In addition, Alabama has a statute of limitations that may bar recovery of compensation if an accident victim or his or her family takes too long to file a claim. Speaking with an attorney immediately after an accident — while difficult — is always the best way to ensure the protection of your rights.
