When it comes to personal injury cases, insurance companies are not on your side, since they often try paying out as little as possible.

What Types of Compensation Am I Entitled To?
The trauma that follows a disaster is often debilitating. Depression, confusion, and anxiety are common symptoms that plague our clients.

When you aren’t at fault, the physical, psychological and financial burdens of an injury can be unjustly heavy - you do not have to shoulder them alone.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
Bodily Injury
Pain and Suffering
Medical Costs
Property Damages
Value of Life Damages
When you call us for your free consultation with our legal team, we'll listen to your story, learn the details of your case, and evaluate your options together.
What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law is a broad area of law that deals with any physical harm or injury caused to an individual as a result of the intentional, accidental, or negligent actions of others. This area of law covers a wide range of situations, including defective product cases, auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, nursing home abuse cases, medical malpractice cases, and wrongful death. A personal injury lawyer is a trial lawyer who represents clients who have been injured due to the actions of others. They have extensive experience in different practice areas and are well-equipped to handle complex cases involving serious injuries and significant damages.
At Wettermark Keith, our Birmingham personal injury attorneys are dedicated to fighting for clients who have been harmed by the negligence of others. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that a personal injury can take on an individual and their family. That's why we work tirelessly to ensure that our clients receive the compensation they deserve. We take a personalized approach to every case, tailoring our strategies to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each client.

What Types of Cases Do Our Birmingham Personal Injury Attorneys Handle?
In the state of Alabama, someone is injured in a car accident every 11 minutes and 5 seconds. Wrecks are not uncommon in Birmingham, a bustling hub with some of the most dangerous roadways in the state. If you were injured while ridesharing, or by a distracted driver, a rear ending, or other accident, you may be entitled to more compensation than your insurance providers offer. Our firm has seen it all, and we want to help you recover from this traumatic and disruptive event.
Large or commercial vehicles, including 18-wheelers or tractor-trailers adhere to stringent safety regulations. When truck drivers flaunt these rules they put other drivers at significant risk.
Birmingham has seen some tragic bicycle accidents profoundly affect our community in recent years. Whether you have experienced a personal injury or lost a loved one in a bicycle wreck, we can help you secure recovery and justice.
Despite having the right of way, pedestrians are frequently injured or killed by careless drivers. Just a second of inattention can result in years relearning to walk in physical therapy. If you or a loved one has been hit by a car, you can seek compensation for specific actions the driver failed to take.
A variety of circumstances - most commonly falls and auto wrecks - can cause head injuries. TBI, or traumatic brain injuries, can be partially or entirely debilitating, making it impossible for you to continue your career, family life, or hobbies. If you’ve suffered a head injury, call us. Let us help you seek justice and improve your quality of life.
Construction sites are rated as one of the most frequent settings of workplace injuries in Alabama and nationwide, with 20% of annual U.S. worker deaths occurring on construction sites. Frequent causes of construction injuries in Birmingham include falling, electrocution or being trapped by a piece of machinery. Get the workers’ compensation and insurance coverage you deserve with the help of our firm's construction accident attorneys.
The physical and emotional scars of a dog attack can last a lifetime. Off-leash strangers’ dogs, strays and poorly trained pets can suddenly become aggressive, leaving pain, disfiguring scars, and psychological trauma in their wake. In addition to high medical costs, attack victims can struggle with PTSD, sleep disturbances, and a debilitating fear of dogs. Even if the animal belongs to a friend or associate, pursuing a civil case is necessary to cover medical costs, as well as prevent future victims. Your friend's insurance company will be charged (not them personally) while our experienced Birmingham dog bite lawyers make sure you obtain a successful recovery.
Doctors swear an oath to protect their patients and act in their best interests. When a healthcare professional acts with negligence and violates the standard of care, they should be held accountable. Medical malpractice injuries can result from a healthcare professional acting in damage-causing negligence, omitting information, or making a serious error in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare. Since medical malpractice cases are highly complex to navigate and must be acted on soon after the personal injury occurs, it's crucial to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney guide you through the process.
Nursing home abuse is an outrage that runs rampant in U.S. elder care, leaving victims neglected, malnourished, and abused behind closed doors. Unfortunately, Birmingham is no exception. Some signs of mistreatment might include unexplained bruises, sudden weight loss, or concerning conversations with a loved one in a long-term care facility. Our firm's personal injury attorneys can help investigate your suspicions and bring abusers to justice.
If you've found yourself unable to work due to disability - including vision impairment, diabetes or a hip replacement - you may have applied for federal aid without success. If you are disabled, a U.S. veteran, or are over 65 and filing for Social Security benefits, bureaucratic organizations may deny your claim, leaving you with a difficult path forward. If this has happened to you, hiring one of our Birmingham disability attorneys to appeal the denial may increase your likelihood of getting the support you need to safeguard your future.
