No recovery, no fee - guarantee
One of the most intimidating parts of hiring a lawyer is the cost consideration. Many people get hung up on wondering if the potential legal fees are even worth it. At Wettermark Keith, we believe you should receive access to the legal help you need without financial limitations, which is why we operate on a contingency fee basis.
We don’t charge any upfront fees, ultimately removing the barriers that can prevent individuals from seeking legal counsel. It’s our priority to help you win compensation so that you can navigate a successful recovery and focus on healing and moving forward. If we don’t achieve a settlement or verdict from you, you don’t owe us a penny. Legal fees are only collected from your compensation once your case is resolved.

The Wettermark Keith team is here to support you after your truck accident. From providing medical evidence to securing eyewitnesses, we handle every legal detail so you can focus on your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Determining fault in a truck accident typically involves a thorough investigation by law enforcement, insurance companies, and sometimes third-party experts. Police officers at the scene will often write a report that includes their initial assessment of fault. Insurance adjusters will also analyze evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, vehicle data, and any available video footage.
In some cases, accident reconstruction specialists may be called in to piece together the sequence of events leading to the crash. Ultimately, fault is decided based on the evidence, and if necessary, a court may determine liability during legal proceedings. (However, most truck accident cases reach a settlement without going to court.) Our team at Wettermark Keith can help navigate this process and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
If you were involved in a hit-and-run truck accident, you can file a claim with your own insurance through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. You may also pursue compensation through the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) component of your car insurance or potentially hold the trucking company liable if their driver is identified later. Hiring an experienced attorney can help navigate the complex process, ensure you’re exploring all your legal options, and maximize your chances of receiving fair compensation.
Each truck accident lawyer charges different fees. However, at Wettermark Keith, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay us if we win your case. This fee is automatically deducted as a percentage from your settlement so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket. For more information on what percentage to expect, be sure to schedule a free consultation with our team.
Yes, your lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. In fact, one of the key roles of your attorney is to handle all communication with the insurance adjusters, ensuring your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation. They'll use their expertise to navigate the negotiation process and fight for the best possible outcome.
Yes, if the truck driver was working for a company at the time of the accident, the company can often be held liable under a legal principle called "vicarious liability." This means the trucking company may be responsible for the driver’s actions if they were within the scope of their employment. An attorney can help determine if the company’s negligence, such as poor training or maintenance, played a role in the accident.
Under Alabama’s contributory negligence rule, if you are found to be at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any compensation.
This means that if the truck accident investigation shows you contributed to the cause of the crash, you could lose your right to pursue a claim. Because of this, it’s crucial to work with an experienced truck accident attorney who can carefully analyze the circumstances, gather evidence, and build a strong case to prove that you were not at fault at all.
In some cases, insurance adjusters or the opposing party might try to shift blame to you. A skilled lawyer will protect your rights, ensuring that you're not unfairly penalized under Alabama's contributory negligence laws.
