Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you’ve suffered an injury and are trying to figure out what to do next, you’ve got questions. Below, we’ve outlined a few questions and answers to help you get started as you determine your next steps. If you’d like more information — or if you’d like to discuss the specific details of your case and how we can help, we’re here. Give us a call, fill out one of our website forms, or chat with us online, and we’ll help get you on the right path to recovery.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
To begin to estimate of the value of your case, an experienced personal injury lawyer will look at several factors that include your specific injuries and their severity, the extent of medical care and the associated costs, lost wages that you may have had to endure, and emotional distress. Each injury case is unique, though, and your attorney will need to understand the full scope of your injuries and the accident that occurred. While no attorney should claim to be able to put a precise figure on your case (they can’t), a lawyer experienced in personal injury cases in Alabama can provide you with a clear indication of your case value based on the details of your unique situation. Reach out to us through the website or over the phone, and tell us your story.
What Are the Different Kinds of Damages in an Injury Case?
To get a sense of the different kinds of damages that come into play in an injury case, it’s helpful to grouped them into three general categories:
- Economic Damages: These damages cover tangible losses like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
- Non-Economic Damages: These damages compensate accident victims for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
- Punitive Damages: In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the defendant for reckless or intentional misconduct.
What Is the Timeline for a Personal Injury Case?
While this is an important question for almost anyone who has been the victim of an accident resulting from another party’s negligence, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Basically, it depends. Bringing an injury lawyer on board early in the process can help you to streamline the process and be as efficient as possible. Oftentimes, an accident victim will also have ongoing medical treatment that will determine some aspects of the timeline. With these considerations in mind, as well as settlement negotiations and the potential of filing a lawsuit, it’s hard to be more specific than to say that the timeline could be anywhere between a few months and a few years. Give us a call, or reach out over the website, and we can provide you with a more fine-tuned answer based on the specifics of your case.
How Much Does Hiring a Lawyer Cost?
Life after a serious accident can be extremely challenging. The last thing you want to worry about is paying upfront money to hire a lawyer. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis, making sure that everyone can protect their rights and pursue the full value of their injury claim. Reach out and we can discuss the specifics of your case and figure out what is best for you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
In Alabama, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is typically two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this time frame can prevent you from seeking compensation, so don’t wait to get started on this. Check out our article on the personal injury statute of limitations in Alabama for more details.
While these are several questions that we see come up often, there’s a good chance you have more specific questions regarding your specific case.
