Does Your Injury Qualify for a Lawsuit?

If you were injured due to someone else’s carelessness or recklessness, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. During your initial case review, you and your attorney will discuss the facts of your case, and they can advise you on whether or not to file a lawsuit. If so, they’ll be able to guide you through the process and ensure you file on time.

Don’t wait to contact us. Time is limited, so the sooner you hire us, the sooner we can get the insurance company off your back.

Common Damages Awarded in Personal Injury Cases

In Alabama, you can receive 3 types of damages for personal injury: economic, non-economic, and punitive. Economic damages are those that have a specific cost, like lost wages, medical bills, and property damage. Non-economic damages are more difficult to calculate since they do not have a set monetary value–damages like pain and suffering, loss of consortium, PTSD, etc. In rare cases of extreme misconduct, punitive damages are awarded to punish the wrongdoer; if the case is a wrongful death case, however, punitive damages are the only damages that can be sought.

Learn How Much Your Case Could Be Worth

There are many facets to a personal injury case and it can be overwhelming to try to keep track of deadlines, documents, and communication with other parties involved. Let a personal injury lawyer in Bay Minette take the burden off of your shoulders so you can focus on getting better. Get started with a free case review today.

How to Prove Fault in a Personal Injury Case

In Alabama, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to show that the defendant was at fault. To do this successfully, you need to provide sufficient evidence that:

The defendant owed you a duty of care
They breached that duty of care
Their breach of duty caused the accident
The accident resulted in your injury

Not only must you prove that the defendant was at fault, but you must also prove that you did not share fault in any capacity. Alabama’s contributory negligence law prohibits plaintiffs from receiving compensation for personal injury if they are found to be even 1% at fault.

An experienced attorney will know what evidence to look for to build the most compelling case for you. Contact Long & Long today to discuss your legal options for free.

When Should You File a Lawsuit?

Alabama gives you 2 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you file after the statute of limitations has expired, you will lose any right to compensation. It’s always best to speak with a lawyer to determine how much time you have left, what documents are needed, and where to file them.

Bay Minette Personal Injury FAQs

What is the average personal injury settlement in Alabama?

There is no average because every case is unique with a different set of circumstances. Settlement amounts vary widely, but your attorney can provide an estimate of what they feel your claim is worth based on the details of your case.

How long will it take to receive my settlement?

Timelines vary. Factors include medical treatment duration (you don’t want to settle before you understand whether you will need future care), insurer responsiveness, liability disputes, and court schedules if your case goes to trial. After a settlement agreement is signed, it can take a matter of weeks–sometimes even months–to receive your funds. Your attorney can keep you informed of what to expect.

What if my case goes to trial?

Most cases settle, but if not, a jury will decide liability and damages. In Alabama, the jury may not be told about punitive damage caps during trial, and the court reviews any punitive award for legal compliance after the verdict. If your case goes to trial, your lawyer will be prepared to represent you in court.
