The severity of injuries, long-term prognosis, and impact on your quality of life all play roles in determining compensation. A qualified attorney can help assess these factors and pursue maximum compensation for your losses. They will also consider future impacts, such as:
Alabama follows the contributory negligence rule, which means if you’re found even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This makes hiring a lawyer vital. Common factors that contribute to pedestrian accidents include:
Determining liability often requires thorough investigation and expert analysis. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including:
Strong evidence is needed to build a compelling case. Essential types of evidence include:
Preserving evidence quickly is essential. Surveillance footage may be deleted, witnesses’ memories fade, and physical evidence can disappear. Having legal assistance helps confirm evidence is collected and preserved.
Alabama has strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims. The statute of limitations for pedestrian accident cases is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances may affect this timeline:
Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to pursue compensation. Additionally, evidence becomes harder to collect and preserve as time passes. Taking fast action helps protect your legal rights and case.
