All of our attorneys and staff are right here in Birmingham and many members of our team live in Vestavia Hills. As such, we want to be a resource for Vestavia Hills citizens who have been injured, and had their lives impacted, by car accidents. We successfully settle and litigate hundreds of car accident cases each year and know the long-term impact that a car accident has on victims and their families. We take pride in providing compassionate counsel, aggressive representation, and maximum recoveries for our clients. It doesn’t matter if your accident was a fender bender or a catastrophic event. We know every accident—even those that seem minor at first—has the capacity to be devastating and wreak havoc on you and your household.

After a car accident, it is important to pursue money damages for the losses you sustained at the hands of a careless or negligent driver. You can be certain that the automobile insurance company for the at-fault party has a legal team that will attempt to pay you as little as possible for your emotional, financial, and physical damages. Don’t let a large insurance company and its attorneys take advantage of you. We can level the playing field and put you in the best possible position to maximize your financial recovery. Our attorneys will:

• Launch a thorough investigation into your car accident.
• Dig deep into the incident to determine the cause and identify all liable parties.
• Seek damages from anyone who caused you to be injured.
• Protect you when other parties may try to place blame on you for the accident.
• Work closely with leading car accident experts as we build and assess the value of your case.
• Stand up to insurance companies on your behalf to ensure you receive a settlement that covers your expenses and suffering.

Our skilled Vestavia Hills car accident attorneys are ready to maximize the value of your claim. After gathering the necessary medical records and bills and gaining a thorough and complete understanding of what happened and the injuries you sustained, we will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company for the at-fault party. Sometimes, however, the insurance company simply will not negotiate in good faith. The insurance company will take an unreasonable position which will force us to file a lawsuit. If this happens, our attorneys will aggressively pursue your claim through the court system, all the way to trial if necessary.

Several, but not all, of the things we will consider when determining the value of your case are:

• Will you require continuing medical care or treatment for your injuries?
• How much did you incur in medical expenses?
• Do you require help taking care of yourself?
• Do your injuries impact your ability to work?
• Are you temporarily or permanently disabled due to the accident?
• Do you have accident-related PTSD, depression, or anxiety that affects your life?
• Did you sustain lost wages?
• Has the accident impacted your ability to perform certain jobs or tasks?
• Can you not perform all activities of daily living (ADLs)?
• Were your medical bills satisfied by health insurance?
• Is your health insurance company pursuing a right of subrogation or reimbursement?
• Was a hospital lien filed for treatment that you received at a hospital?

The extent of your injuries and how your life will ultimately be impacted by the car accident will affect the value of your case and how our attorneys approach it. We will invest time and resources into looking into these questions and develop a strategic and comprehensive plan to maximize the value of your claim. If you sustained injuries in a car accident in Vestavia Hills or its surrounding areas, be sure to call the skilled Vestavia Hills car accident attorneys at 844.LAW.TALK or 205.324.3600 or contact us online here.

• Immediately following the accident, focus on safety. Be sure you or someone else calls 911. Do not get out of your car in an unsafe environment.
• If you can, document the scene of the accident. Photos of the cars, road markings, injuries, and witness information can be immensely valuable to your attorney and your case.
• Report any injuries and get treatment. Once out of harm’s way, you need to report your injuries to the police and/or medical personnel. This is crucial for any auto accident case. If you do not report your injuries, it is as if they never happened in the eyes of the adverse insurance company.
• Be sure to secure a copy of the police report following the crash when it is ready. If you are unable to do so, we will get the report on your behalf.
• Get treatment for your injuries, no matter how minor the injuries may seem at the time. Car accident injuries can often seem less severe immediately following the incident due to adrenaline. You may not know the extent of your injuries until you are evaluated by a medical professional. Additionally, many injuries do not manifest until days, or even weeks, after the accident.
• Contact the skilled Vestavia Hills car accident attorneys as soon as possible. The insurance company of the negligent driver who hit you is probably already working on the case, gathering information and working to lessen the value of your claim. Do not wait to contact us.

Our attorneys are standing by to ensure you receive the maximum settlement after your car accident. You can contact us for a free and confidential consultation at 844.LAW.TALK or 205.324.3600 or here. We will fully evaluate your accident and will not get paid unless we recover damages for you.
