Serving Tuscaloosa, Northport and All of Tuscaloosa County
Since 1967, Forstman & Cutchen, LLP has fought for injured people across West Alabama, from Northport and Cottondale to Vance and Brookwood. We take on crashes, workplace injuries, and medical negligence cases throughout Tuscaloosa County.
Local Injury Cases
Tuscaloosa County moves fast. Interstate traffic, plant shifts, and big crowds on game days all bring a real risk of serious injury. When someone else's carelessness puts you in the hospital or out of work, you need an injury law firm that understands how these claims are built and how insurers try to shrink them.
Our Birmingham office is about an hour up I-20/59 from downtown Tuscaloosa, and we take cases from across the county. Many cases end up in the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse on Greensboro Avenue, so we come to Tuscaloosa County when your case calls for it.
Alabama's strict contributory negligence rule means insurers look for any reason to blame you, so early legal help matters. Alabama gives most injury victims only two years to file suit, and workers' comp deadlines for reporting an injury are much shorter.
On McFarland Boulevard, Skyland Boulevard, and Lurleen Wallace Boulevard, sudden stops and red-light runners cause rear-end and T-bone collisions every week, and fall football Saturdays near Bryant-Denny Stadium add out-of-town drivers who don't know the roads. As your auto accident attorney, we secure crash reports and pursue every responsible driver.
The stretch of I-20/59 through Tuscaloosa County carries a heavy load of tractor-trailers and ties into I-359 and US-82, so traffic stacks up quickly. We preserve trucking logs and pursue every responsible driver and company.
If the at-fault driver has little or no coverage, our uninsured motorist lawyer team can file a claim against your own policy.
Tuscaloosa County's economy runs on hard physical work, including the Mercedes-Benz plant near Vance and the auto suppliers around it. A conveyor accident or years of repetitive motion on an assembly line can end a career.
Coal mining near Brookwood, construction, and the large workforce at the University of Alabama all carry real risk, including a fall from scaffolding. When a third party caused the harm, such as a defective machine or a negligent contractor, we look at a separate personal injury claim as well.
Sometimes the injury happens where you went for help. A missed diagnosis, a surgical error, or a medication mistake can leave you worse off than before treatment.
