Understanding Your Rights Under Alabama Law
When an individual (or company) causes preventable injury to another person’s body or mind, the victim has the right to pursue personal injury damages. Damages are usually financial compensation for the victim’s losses, though the liable party might also face fines, criminal charges, and other consequences for their behavior.
Many personal injury cases are settled out of court. For instance, our capable lawyers investigate accidents to determine whether damages resulted from someone’s negligent conduct. When presented with the evidence, the responsible party might prefer to settle matters to avoid the time and costs of a trial.
Yet, you should not assume that a quick settlement is fair. Liable parties and their insurance companies could be highly motivated to get you to take a low offer to keep more money in their own pockets. Why not consult with an accident attorney first by starting a conversation in the chat box below or calling our legal team at (800) 477-7510 for a free consultation?
How Norris Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You
An experienced lawyer on our team can advise you on avoiding accepting a bad offer. During your consultation, you can find out what type of compensation you qualify to receive, such as:
- Property repair or replacement: Did your car get damaged or even totaled in a motor vehicle accident? The person responsible for the accident is liable for fixing it or replacing it, and usually this is done by means of his or her insurer. Your attorney can give you more details on how to file a claim and get financial compensation for property damage.
- Medical bills: In the United States, medical treatment is expensive. Personal injury lawyers help you to get maximum compensation for hospital bills, including emergency transport and aftercare. If your injuries require ongoing medical attention, you might be eligible for these future expenses.
- Lost income: Though doctor’s appointments and recovery time are essential, missing work to accommodate these necessities can make it hard to make ends meet. Our lawyers aim to recover your lost wages as soon as possible so you can focus on your health. If you were permanently disabled, our competent legal team can seek money for loss of earning potential.
- Pain and suffering: Accidents are often traumatic, resulting in long-lasting physical pain and mental anguish. Alabama law allows victims to seek compensation for the detrimental effects of pain on their emotions and mental state.
- Wrongful death expenses: It always hurts to lose the ones you love, but a sudden, preventable loss can feel even worse. Wrongful death damages cannot change what happened, but they can lift the financial burden that a dignified funeral service can create. We encourage you to get in touch with a compassionate team member to learn whether you meet the requirements to be compensated for the loss of your deceased family member’s financial support.
