Common Personal Injury Causes

Personal injuries can be caused by many different types of accidents. Common types include vehicle accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and more. Injuries can range from mild to severe depending on the type of accident. The extent of your injuries and the damages you suffered will determine how much compensation you can receive from your personal injury lawsuit.

During your initial case review, our attorneys can evaluate the details of your case, assess the damages, and estimate how much compensation you could be entitled to. To find out how much your case could be worth, contact us today.

Proving Fault in Alabama

To win your personal injury case in Alabama, you need to be able to prove that the other party was at fault for the accident that caused your injury. Proving fault requires showing:

  1. Duty of Care: The defendant had a responsibility to act with reasonable care or caution.
  2. Breach of Duty: The defendant breached their duty of care by failing to exercise caution or by acting negligently.
  3. Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty caused your accident.
  4. Damages: You suffered damages as a result of the accident caused by the defendant’s breach of duty.

Proving these elements can be difficult, and the more parties involved in the accident, the more complicated it gets. Alabama also abides by a contributory negligence law, which dictates that the plaintiff cannot pursue damages if they were partially at fault for the accident. That’s why you should never try to navigate a lawsuit without the help of a skilled personal injury attorney in Spanish Fort. Long & Long Injury Attorneys understands what evidence is needed to prove fault and how long you have to pursue a claim.

Types of Compensation You Could Receive

The type(s) of compensation you could receive depends on the circumstances surrounding your injury. Compensation for personal injury in Alabama is usually separated into 3 categories:

  • Economic Damages: These damages have a clearly calculable monetary value, such as property damage, medical costs, or lost wages.
  • Non-Economic Damages: These damages do not have a clear monetary value, but can have a lasting impact on your life, such as loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish, or pain and suffering.
  • Punitive Damages: These are the only damages that can be sought in wrongful death cases. In personal injury cases, they are only awarded to punish the wrongdoer in instances of gross misconduct.

How Much Money Will Your Personal Injury Settlement Be?

It depends. There is no way to know the precise amount you will receive. However, your attorney can estimate the value of your case based on the damages you suffered, the insurance you have, and the other parties involved. From there, they will be able to build a case to support their argument for that amount of compensation. The actual amount you are awarded will be determined by the insurance company’s willingness to settle, or by the courts (if your case goes to trial).

How to Protect Your Right to Compensation After an Accident

After an accident in Spanish Fort, taking these steps will ensure proper documentation of the accident, which can help your attorney build a strong case for you:

  1. Call 9-1-1
  2. Gather information from all parties on the scene, including witnesses
  3. Document the scene with photos and videos, including all injuries and property damage
  4. File a police report
  5. Seek medical treatment
  6. Inform your insurance provider of the accident
  7. Contact a personal injury attorney in Spanish Fort

It’s important to speak to a lawyer immediately after an accident because evidence can disappear fast. If you were hurt in an accident, don’t wait. Contact Long & Long Injury Attorneys today to learn your legal options and the best next steps.

Spanish Fort Personal Injury FAQs

How long will my injury case take? 

It depends on medical recovery (you don’t want to settle before you understand your prognosis), how clear liability is, insurance limits, and court scheduling. Straightforward claims can resolve in months; cases with serious injuries, disputed fault, or court proceedings can often take longer.

Can I still get compensation if I’ve already accepted the insurance company’s offer?

Usually no. Settlement releases are typically final. There are limited exceptions (e.g., fraud or mutual mistake), so bring the paperwork to us and we’ll review your options.

How do contingency fees work?

Our fees are contingent upon us winning your case, so we don’t get paid unless you do. All legal fees are taken out of your final settlement as a percentage. You never have to worry about upfront fees or paying out-of-pocket when you work with us. 

Will I have to go to court to receive my settlement?

Most cases settle without a trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court. If the insurer disputes fault, damages, or coverage, taking your case to court may be necessary. We will keep you informed about how the case is progressing and what happens next.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit? 

The statute of limitations for personal injury in Alabama is typically 2 years from the date of the injury. If you wait and miss the deadline, you won’t be able to recover damages. Contact a lawyer right away to learn whether you still have time to file.
