Birmingham Injury Law Firm Since 1967
Hurt in a wreck, on the job, or by a medical mistake? Talk with a personal injury attorney at Forstman & Cutchen, LLP today.
Who We Are
Forstman & Cutchen, LLP has represented injured people from our Birmingham office since 1967. Over those decades, thousands of individuals across central Alabama have trusted us with some of the hardest moments of their lives. That history shapes how we handle every case today.
Our practice is limited to three areas: Personal Injury, Workers' Compensation, and Medical Malpractice. We put all of our time and resources into those three areas. You get a team that knows these claims inside and out, from crashes on Interstate 65 to injuries at plants and job sites from Bessemer to Tuscaloosa.
Our mission fits in four words: Unrelenting Advocacy. Proven Results. Insurance companies and large employers have lawyers on their side from day one. You deserve someone just as determined in your corner.
Our Practice Areas
As an accident injury lawyer team, we handle auto accidents, trucking accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective product accidents, work-related accidents, negligence claims, uninsured motorist claims, and wrongful death claims. We build each case to hold the at-fault party accountable.
A bad workplace injury can leave you without a paycheck and facing a tough claims process. We help injured workers pursue work injury benefits for head trauma, neurological injuries, spinal cord injuries, paraplegia and quadriplegia, repetitive stress injuries, and hand and foot injuries.
You trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to help you heal. When a misdiagnosis, a surgical error, or hospital negligence causes new harm, a medical malpractice claim may help you recover. We review your records and explain your options in plain terms.
Every injury case is different, but most begin the same way: someone else's carelessness changed your life without warning. We pursue full injury compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and the long-term costs of a serious injury.
Why Choose Us
Choosing a lawyer after an injury is a big decision, and you may be making it from a hospital bed or your couch. Here is what you can expect when you call our firm.
These are the commitments behind our mission of unrelenting advocacy.
Our firm has served injured people in Birmingham for decades. We know the local courts, the major roads, and the employers that shape life in Jefferson County and the surrounding area.
We handle Personal Injury, Workers' Compensation, and Medical Malpractice, and nothing else. That focus means your case gets the attention of lawyers who handle these claims every day.
You can speak directly with an attorney about your case. We take time to answer your questions, explain each step, and keep you informed as your claim moves forward.
Injuries do not keep office hours. Our office is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and we meet by appointment after hours and on weekends.
How It Works
You should not have to guess what comes next. Here is how a typical case unfolds with our firm, from your first phone call to the final result.
Call us or reach out online to tell us what happened. We listen, ask the right questions, and give you an honest view of whether you have a personal injury or workers' compensation claim.
We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other evidence. For truck crashes, defective products, and hospital negligence, this step often requires digging into records the other side would rather keep quiet.
We document your medical costs, lost income, and the ways the injury affects your daily life. Then we present a demand to the insurance company or employer that reflects the full value of your claim.
Many cases resolve through negotiation. When an insurer refuses to be fair, we are prepared to take your case to court and keep pushing until it is resolved.
After an Injury
The hours and days after an injury matter. Steps you take early can protect your health and make your claim stronger, whether you were rear-ended on US 280 or hurt on a job site in Walker County.
Alabama law also sets deadlines for injury and workers' compensation claims, so waiting too long can cost you. Keep these points in mind:
