Car Wreck? We are Experienced Auto Accident Attorneys Serving Clients in Birmingham Alabama and Nationwide
Auto accident Attorneys Wettermark, Holland, & Keith have earned their reputation as one of Alabama's leading personal injury law firms, dedicated to representing the rights of individuals and families who have been injured in a car accident.
Automobile accident law varies from state to state. Many states have adopted no fault liability for automobile accidents. In those states, all claims below a certain monetary value or injury level must be handled through the insurance companies without regard to fault. When the damage or injuries exceed a certain monetary threshold or injury level, then the injured parties are free to pursue full compensation against the responsible or negligent driver.
Alabama Auto Accident laws
In states without no fault laws, recovery can only be made in an automobile accident by proving that the accident was the fault of the other driver. Proof is essential. A good automobile accident lawyer knows the importance of identifying witnesses, interviewing police officers, and if necessary, retaining accident reconstruction experts. Once liability is established in an automobile accident case, the next step is to prove, explain, and quantify the seriousness of the personal injuries. A good personal injury lawyer will have extensive contacts in the medical community to assist their clients in documenting the seriousness of their injury. In many cases, it is necessary to use economists, medical experts, and even life care planners to fully document the extent of an accident victim’s injuries
Even a seemingly simple automobile accident case can present legal complexities. In many cases, there are issues of insurance coverage. Even if the defendant driver has insurance coverage, it may not be adequate to cover all the injuries. In cases such as this, the best automobile accident attorneys know how to identify other sources of insurance coverage, including underinsured and uninsured policies, employer’s policies, umbrella policies, and, in some cases, even homeowner’s insurance. It is only by bringing all of these factors together--establishing the fault of the other driver, maximizing and proving the extent of the injuries, and ensuring that there are adequate proceeds to pay the settlement--that an accident injury victim can receive a full recovery.
