Motor Vehicle Accident Overview

Alabama Car Accident Lawyer

When You Need Compensation for Your Injury

The process of pursuing and obtaining justice in cases of motor vehicle accidents requires a thorough understanding of causes of accidents, traffic laws, automobile design standards, applicable safety rules and regulations, car part manufacturing norms, and an in-depth knowledge of the nature of a typical car accident injury.

To schedule a consultation with an experienced Alabama car and truck accident lawyer, contact Lewis & McAtee, P.C. With the foundation of our 40 years of experience, we are prepared to pursue relief for motor vehicle accidents such as the following:

Auto accidents

A thorough investigation of the evidence means procuring clear photographs of the scene of the accident, looking into driving records, and arranging for detailed accident reconstruction.

Trucking accidents

If we determine that you have a case and you decide to retain our services on a contingency basis, we will review the driver's log books for the past six months and receipts for load pickups and deliveries. We will then develop a theory of the root causes of the truck accident.

Vehicle rollovers

When the clients of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., suffer serious injuries in SUV rollovers and other single-car accidents, our attorneys are prepared to fight for justice.

Motorcycle accidents

One client of the law offices of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., was seriously injured after a dog ran in front of his motorcycle. As always, we pursued justice from all available sources.

Airbag failure / seatbelt failure

The law offices of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., offers free initial consultations in cases of traumatic injuries caused by seatbelt failure, airbag deployment failure or defect, and design flaws in child restraint systems.

Road Construction Accidents

Was your accident caused by violations of regulations of the uniform traffic control devices manual? Did utility trucks park too close to the roadway, or fail to have required warning flags?

Pedestrian / Bicycle / Railroad Crossings

Lewis & McAtee, P.C., also has a tradition of zealous representation of victims of other types of accidents.

Personal Injury

We handle situations including, but not limited to, car accident injury claims related to fuel-fed fires, 18 wheeler crashes, minor accidents made much worse by airbag failure, cruise control switch defects, or obstruction of view by utility trucks.

Wrongful Death

After a preliminary case evaluation, we will offer our informed opinion as to whether you have a case. You will have the opportunity to decide whether to retain our services on a contingency basis.

Family Law

Our attorneys represent clients in family law matters pertaining to divorce, child custody, child / spousal support, paternity, and post-divorce modifications. We explain the financial and legal consequences involved and make sure you and your children's rights and interests are protected.

Criminal Law

Our office is prepared to conduct our own investigation involving the evidence and charges against you. We consult forensic experts, private investigators, lab technicians, and others in preparing our client's defense. While we are aggressive litigators we are also skilled negotiators who work with the prosecution in plea bargains that reduce the charges or sentence against our client.

Securities Fraud / Broker Misconduct

When a broker engages in activities that violate his or her fiduciary responsibility, our office investigates their activities and prepares evidence against them in order to recover losses suffered by our client.
