The Process of a Car Accident Case
Alabama is not a no-fault insurance state. Every car accident is, in effect, two separate cases. The first investigation determines whether the parties share liability for the accident and damages. Parties may seek financial damages if they are not held liable for contributing to the cause of the accident.
If you were involved in a car accident in the Decatur area or elsewhere in Alabama, here is what we will do for you:
- We will pay for all costs of investigating and preserving evidence, while we prepare your case for possible trial.
- We will handle the legal details of dealing with adjusters, including your own insurance company in the event your accident involved an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
- We will work with qualified medical, financial and life-care experts to determine the full and fair amount of compensation you are entitled to.
- We will make sure the insurance company acts in good faith regarding the full extent of liability they are responsible for.
- We will begin negotiating a settlement only after you have received certification from your doctor that you have achieved maximum recovery, and we know the full compensation you deserve for current and future medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
- If your car accident involved a job injury workers' compensation claim, we can help you recover additional money damages by filing a third-party lawsuit against the other driver.
