Birmingham Car Accident Attorneys

If you have been hurt in a car accident that someone else caused, you need to take a serious approach to dealing with the insurance company. Medical expenses, missed paychecks, damage to your vehicle, and other losses can quickly add up. Yet profit-driven insurance companies will take every opportunity to keep their costs low by short-changing you whenever they can.

Causes of Auto Accidents

When you seek compensation for a car accident, it’s important to know how the accident was caused. If the accident was caused by another driver’s negligent driving behavior, you will have an easier time getting compensation for your injuries.

Here are the most common causes of auto accidents:

• Animals
• Construction Zones
• Design Defects
• Distracted Driving
• Drowsy Driving
• Drunk Driving
• Inexperienced/Teen Drivers
• Night Driving

• Poor Road Maintenance
• Reckless Driving
• Running Red Lights or Stop Signs
• Speeding
• Tailgating
• Unsafe Lane Changes
• Weather Conditions
• Wrong-Way Driving

Types of Car Wrecks

The way your car was struck during the collision can be a good indicator of negligence. For example, head-on collisions are almost always caused by negligent acts performed while driving. Establishing evidence of negligence will help your auto accident claim.

Here are some of the most common types of car accidents:

• Rear-End Accidents
• Head-On Collisions
• Side-Impact Accidents (T-Bone Collisions)
• Sideswipe Accidents
• Rollover Accidents
• Intersection Accidents

• Parking Lot Accidents
• Work Zone Accidents
• Highway/Interstate Accidents
• Hit-and-Run Accidents
• Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Accidents
• Uber/Lyft Accidents

How Our Birmingham Car Accident Attorneys Can Make a Difference for You

Any time a person suffers an injury in a car accident (rather than just property damage), their claim for compensation becomes more complicated. Even if your car crash seems like an open-and-shut case, you need to speak with a knowledgeable Birmingham car accident lawyer about your rights. Keep in mind that insurance companies want to keep payouts to a minimum, and they have teams of attorneys working to protect them.

Our skilled auto accident lawyers will take a serious, strategic approach to developing a comprehensive car accident claim for you. You can trust our team to:

• Thoroughly investigate your car accident. Our attorneys will identify who should be held liable for the crash and your injuries. In most cases, the “other” driver is responsible, and we will work to gather all the evidence to prove this. However, depending on the circumstances of your car wreck, there may be multiple parties (or “third parties”) who should be held accountable. For example, in a drunk driving case, a business or individual might be liable if they sold or gave alcohol to the driver after he or she was already intoxicated.
• Analyze your medical records. We will work to determine the total extent of your injuries and your prognosis for life ahead once you have achieved maximum medical improvement. In cases of permanent disability, we work with medical and vocational consultants, as necessary, to determine your likely medical and/or life care needs in the years ahead, as well as their costs.
• Account for all of your costs and losses. Under Alabama personal injury law, you may seek compensation (known as “damages”) for:
  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost income, wages, and earnings ─ including payment for future income unrealized due to reduced earning capacity and/or the inability to continue in your occupation
  • Mental distress
  • Permanent disfigurement
  • Aggravation of pre-existing injuries
  • Past and future pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium of a spouse who has been physically injured
• Manage communication and negotiations with insurance carriers. Our attorneys will handle all insurance paperwork and documentation in filing claims for the maximum compensation available to you. We are widely known as aggressive negotiators who won’t settle for less than what our clients truly deserve.
• Fiercely advocate for you in court, if that’s what is necessary. When insurers do not agree to prompt and proper payments, we will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit. Sometimes insurance companies will, as a matter of policy, wait for a lawsuit before seriously considering a claim. Whatever the circumstances, we are not here to play games and waste time. We are here to fight for your best interests.

You should never accept an insurance company’s car accident settlement without talking to an experienced Birmingham personal injury attorney. At the Serious Injury Law Group, our skilled team has extensive experience successfully handling car accident claims and holding deep-pocketed insurance companies accountable. We can review the circumstances of your crash (and any insurance settlement offer you have received) at no charge to you.
