Our Practice Areas
Forstman & Cutchen, LLP focuses on three areas of law: personal injury, workers' compensation, and medical malpractice. Since 1967, we have pursued injury compensation for people hurt across central Alabama.
Why Our Focus Matters
Some firms take every kind of case that walks through the door. We chose a narrower path. Our attorneys handle personal injury claims, workers compensation claims, and medical malpractice claims, and nothing else. That focus means your case gets lawyers who work in this area of law every day.
Our mission is simple: Unrelenting Advocacy. Proven Results. Your injury might have happened in a pileup on I-65, a fall in a grocery store aisle, a shift at a plant in Tuscaloosa County, or an operating room in Birmingham. Either way, we push back against the insurance companies and employers trying to pay you less than your claim is worth.
How We Can Help
Each practice area below has its own page with more detail on the cases we handle and how a claim moves forward. Start with the one that matches what happened to you.
Our accident injury lawyers handle auto and trucking collisions, slip and fall and premises liability cases, defective product injuries, uninsured motorist claims, negligence claims, and wrongful death claims. We build each case to recover medical bills, lost wages, and fair compensation for your pain.
Alabama workers hurt on the job are entitled to work injury benefits, but employers and their insurers often fight claims for serious harm. We represent workers with head trauma, neurological injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, repetitive stress injuries, and hand and foot injuries.
When a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails to meet the standard of care, the results can change a life. Our medical malpractice lawyers review surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, medication errors, and hospital negligence to determine whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
Our Approach
If you are not sure which category fits, that is normal. Many injuries overlap. A worker hit by a delivery truck may have both a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury claim. We sort that out with you during your free consultation.
Insurance adjusters start building their side of the case right after an injury, and waiting can make yours harder to prove. Reaching out early gives us more time to build your side before the other side settles on its version of events.
The money you recover should reflect the full cost of what happened to you, from medical bills and lost wages to the pain you live with afterward. For people hurt on the job, that means pursuing every benefit Alabama law allows, even when an employer or insurer pushes back.
