How much is my personal injury case worth?

Many people understandably want to know how much their case is worth, but it is impossible to determine the value of a claim without first reviewing the specific details involved. Numerous factors—such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical bills, expenses related to property damage and repairs, your degree of liability (if any), the defendant’s available insurance coverage, and more—all play a role in the overall value of your claim. We recommend that you contact our personal injury lawyers at Morris Haynes Attorneys at Law and set up a free initial consultation. During this consultation, we can review the facts of your case and help you determine how much your claim could be worth.

What is the statute of limitations on personal injury cases in Alabama?

In Alabama, you only have two years to sue a liable party for personal injury damages. This means that you must file your lawsuit within two years of the date you were injured, with few exceptions. This only applies to personal injury lawsuits, not insurance claims. Your time to file an insurance claim may be even more limited, so it is important to act quickly after an accident or injury to protect your right to recover compensation.

Do I really need a personal injury lawyer?

The law does not require you to hire a personal injury attorney to pursue a claim; however, there are many advantages to working with an experienced legal team. Studies have shown that people who hire lawyers for personal injury cases often recover higher settlements in less time than those who handle cases on their own. An attorney can gather evidence, build a strong case, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent your interests at trial if necessary. Contact Morris Haynes Attorneys at Law to learn more.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Personal injury attorneys at Morris Haynes Attorneys at Law work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no legal fees unless your attorney recovers compensation for you. Attorney fees are typically a percentage of the total recovery and are subject to applicable state law.
