Experienced Alabama and Mississippi Personal Injury Lawyers

A. When you file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit, your lawyer will demand compensation for your damages. “Damages” might include your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property, and even punitive damages. However, no two cases are the same. Your personal injury claim’s settlement value will depend on many factors. Our Mississippi and Alabama injury lawyers will identify all the insurance policies that cover your claim, carefully calculate your damages, fight back against victim blaming, and won’t back down until you get every penny you’re owed.

When you meet with a personal injury attorney at one of our Alabama or Mississippi offices, we will carefully evaluate your claim and identify everyone who contributed to your injuries. In a car accident claim, this might include the negligent driver, their employer, a company who made or sold a defective product or part, or even a bar or restaurant who knowingly overserved a drunk driver. You might also have claims with your own auto insurance policy if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured—or if you have Med Pay coverage.

First, after a car accident or truck wreck, it’s essential that you see a doctor. What you might think are “just” bumps and bruises could be early signs of a traumatic brain injury, herniated disc, or another catastrophic injury. The sooner you get medical care, the better your chances of making a fuller recovery—and your doctor’s records can strengthen your case. Second, document everything. Keep all those letters from the insurance company. Take pictures of the crash scene or accident site. Store all those receipts, medical bills, and repair estimates in a folder. This information will help your personal injury lawyer calculate your case’s full value.

Under Mississippi and Alabama law, you can demand compensation for your unpaid medical expenses. This includes future medical treatment that you might need due to the car wreck or injury accident. Our lawyers will work with you and your medical providers to get you the care you need. At the same time, we’ll stand up to the insurance companies and fight to get you a settlement that covers your bills now and in the future.

Every state has its own statute of limitations for motor vehicle accidents. If you file your personal injury lawsuit after this filing deadline expires, the court can reject your claim.

• State of Alabama: You must file your case within two years of your car or truck crash.
• State of Mississippi: You must file your case within three years of your car or truck wreck.

Different deadlines might apply to family member death claims and claims involving children or mentally incapacitated people. Don’t wait until the last minute to call a personal injury lawyer and get your free case evaluation. It takes a lot of time and effort to investigate a motor vehicle accident and negotiate with the insurance companies. As time passes, evidence might disappear and memories will fade. But, if you call Andy Citrin right away, we’ll work fast to protect this information and get you the money you deserve.

Choosing the right trial lawyer can be a game changer. You should look beyond a personal injury attorney’s advertising and consider important factors like:

• How many years of experience they have
• How quickly they respond to your questions
• Whether they have a winning track record
• If their current clients give them glowing testimonials
