BIRMINGHAM, AL PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Personal injury cases protect you or your loved ones that are harmed or injured in an accident at the negligence or intentional act of another party. Day-to-day accidents are very common; however, that should not dismiss the pain, suffering and confusion an individual experiences.

Personal injury claims can be divided into several different categories. Some common personal injury lawsuits include those filed for car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and slips and falls. Basically, any negligent action that causes you or your loved one’s bodily harm can constitute a personal injury lawsuit.

Should you find yourself needing to initiate a personal injury case, there are a couple of different ways to address these legal disputes. We can pursue a formalized personal injury lawsuit that will go through civil court proceedings with a court judge.  However, many disputes are resolved through an informal settlement.

Time limits exist with respect to filing personal injury lawsuits, and this is called the statute of limitations.

Once the statute of limitations passes, you will not be allowed to file a lawsuit, so timeliness is key in these cases.
