Most of our Birmingham clients were hurt somewhere they drive past every week. Many were on the I-20/59 and I-65 interchange downtown, in Red Mountain Expressway traffic, or in stop-and-go congestion on US-280 near the Summit. Others were injured on a job site or in a store in Five Points South, Avondale, Woodlawn, Ensley or Crestwood. We know these roads and neighborhoods, and we know how quickly an insurance company will try to pin the blame back on you.
That blame matters more here than almost anywhere else. Alabama follows contributory negligence, which means an insurer that proves you were even slightly at fault can try to deny your claim entirely. As your accident injury lawyer, we move fast to secure crash reports, photos, witness statements and video before that evidence disappears. Many Birmingham injury cases are filed at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard North, and we prepare every file as if it will be argued there.
Birmingham is also a medical city. UAB Hospital, Ascension St. Vincent's Birmingham and Grandview Medical Center treat patients from across Alabama. When care goes wrong at a facility like these, you need a medical negligence lawyer who understands the Alabama Medical Liability Act and its strict deadlines. Our medical malpractice lawyers and hospital negligence lawyer team review records, consult medical experts and hold providers accountable when treatment falls below the standard of care.
