Shelby County Injury Cases

Car Accident Lawyer and Workplace Injury Lawyer Help Along Shelby County's Busiest Corridors

Shelby County has grown fast, and its roads show it. US-280 backs up every morning from Chelsea through Inverness, and I-65 carries heavy freight past Calera, Alabaster, and Pelham all day. Highway 119, Highway 261, and US-31 now carry far more traffic than they were built for. These are the places where our car accident lawyer and truck accident lawyer team sees many of our Shelby County auto accident attorney and trucking accident attorney cases begin.

Growth also means construction crews in Helena and Chelsea, warehouse workers along the I-65 corridor, and quarry and lime plant workers around Calera and Saginaw. When those workers get hurt, they need a workers compensation lawyer who understands Alabama's system. Comp claims here are decided in circuit court, which for Shelby County means the courthouse in Columbiana. Our injury law firm handles cases like these:
