Benefits of Consulting a Lawyer
At Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys, our Alabama lawyer Brian Plant and support team are well versed in evaluating the facts of a particular incident and the applicable local laws to assess the potential for recovering compensation to cover medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
The longer the victim waits to hire a lawyer, the less effective they can be. Per Alabama Code Title 6. Civil Practice § 6-2-38, the time to file a personal injury lawsuit is limited to two years, so the sooner that decisive action is taken, the stronger a plaintiff’s chances of winning his or her claims will be. For minors injured in an accident, the two-year time limit does not start until they turn 19-years old.
In the aftermath of a personal injury, it helps to have an experienced personal injury lawyer provide guidance on the road to recovery.
Special Rules May Apply
It is important for Alabama personal injury victims to be aware of state specific rules to allocate responsibility for an accident if multiple people contribute to the cause of an accident. Sometimes the person injured in an accident may be partially at fault for an accident that resulted in their own injuries.
Alabama law makes it essential for lawyers to closely investigate the cause of an accident to establish the responsible parties with each party assigned a percentage of the fault. Accidents that involve multiple parties and varying degrees of responsibility involve a complex legal analysis that can directly impact an accident victim’s potential recovery.
