These accidents can lead to traumatic injuries or even death.

AT OUR LAW FIRM, WE CARE ABOUT YOUR RECOVERY

When it comes to a personal injury lawsuit, insurance companies are not on your side, since they often try paying out as little as possible. They may try to downplay the severity of your injuries or offer you a settlement that fails to cover your expenses.

That's why our Birmingham personal injury attorneys will fight to ensure that you don't settle for less than you deserve.

The trauma that follows a disaster is often debilitating. Depression, confusion, and anxiety are common symptoms that plague our clients.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation under injury law for the following:

    Bodily Injury

    Pain and Suffering

    Medical Costs

    Property Damages

    Value of Life Damages

    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?

    Our Birmingham personal injury law firm has seen a variety of accidents throughout our decades-long career. Some of these cases include, but are not limited to:

    Nestled in the center of the city, it can be hard to resist riding your bike through Railroad Park or the serene Rotary Trail. Despite the improvements Birmingham has made to make biking more accessible, tragic bicycle accidents can happen anywhere and continue to profoundly affect our community. Whether you have experienced a personal injury or lost a loved one in a bicycle wreck, we can help you secure recovery and justice.

    Birmingham is a bustling city located in the heart of Alabama and is home to many individuals who have unfortunately suffered from burn injuries. Burn injuries can be incredibly traumatic and can leave victims with lifelong scarring and emotional damage. If you or a loved one has experienced a burn injury, it is essential to seek out expert legal representation to ensure that you receive the care and compensation that you deserve for these accidents.

    In the state of Alabama, a car accident occurred every 3 minutes and 38 seconds in 2022. Wrecks are not uncommon in Birmingham, a bustling hub with some of the most dangerous roadways in the state. If you suffered injuries while ridesharing, or by a distracted driver, a rear-ending, or from other accidents, you might be entitled to more compensation than your insurance providers offer. Our law firm has seen it all, and we want to help you recover from this traumatic and disruptive event.

    When a child is hurt in Birmingham, Alabama, it evokes a feeling of pain in all of us, and we are compelled to take action to help them. For minor injuries like a scrape, a quick fix may suffice, but for serious injuries caused by someone else's negligence, you may need to defend your child's rights. Seeking legal advice from a child injury lawyer at Wettermark Keith can be helpful in such situations. We can help you focus on your child's recovery, while we focus on getting compensation from the responsible party in court.

    Commercial drivers are often known for driving long hours, which can sometimes lead to distraction and fatigue. Unfortunately, this kind of driving can sometimes lead to serious accidents causing devastating injuries or even fatalities. An injury claim involving commercial vehicles is different from those involving private cars due to differences in insurance and ownership relationships. An experienced Birmingham attorney's analysis of the case can make a significant difference in the outcome of the claim.

    Construction sites are rated as one of the most frequent settings of workplace injuries in Alabama and nationwide, with U.S. Construction positions suffering the second most amount of worker fatalities in 2022. 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.

    Consumers in Birmingham buy many different products every day. If these products are not manufactured correctly, they can pose serious risks to users. Some products may not meet the required safety standards and can cause personal injury or even wrongful death, even when used as directed. Defective product cases are usually high-profile since the companies that design, manufacture, and market them have significant resources to use in court. It is, therefore, essential to have the right defective products lawyer on your side like our experienced lawyers at Wettermark Keith.

    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 bites lawyers make sure you obtain the compensation you need to recover.

    Being a victim of a drunk driving accident can be a traumatic and life-changing experience. If you or a loved one has been injured in a drunk driving accident in Birmingham, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Our law firm has personal injury lawyers who are equipped to handle the intricacies of drunk driving accident cases.

    A variety of circumstances - most commonly falls and auto accidents - can cause head injuries. TBI, or traumatic brain injury, 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.

    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 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.

    Motorcycles are over-represented in Alabama accident statistics and across the country. Riders were 24 times more likely to be fatally injured than car passengers in 2021. Even the strongest helmet offers far less protection than an airbag - lacking the protection of strong metal, a windshield, or a seatbelt, any collision can be fatal to a motorcycle rider. While Birmingham drivers are legally required to treat motorcycles the same as any other vehicle, too often they behave negligently, putting riders at risk for death. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact an attorney from Wettermark Keith today.

    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.

    Despite having the right of way, pedestrians are frequently injured or killed by careless drivers. Just a second of inattention can result in years of 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. Call the attorneys at Wettermark Keith today for a free consultation.

    While Birmingham is an excellent place to live, its occupants aren’t invulnerable. On the road and in the workplace, accidents and injuries happen every day. Suffering a personal injury or wrongful death due to negligence can be one of the most devastating events of your life. At Wettermark Keith, we understand the inherent stress of pursuing a civil case after an accident and want to give you valuable peace of mind while you piece your life back together.

    No matter how wonderful and interesting Birmingham is, tourists and residents alike aren’t immune to having to deal with hazardous conditions. If property owners fail to maintain their properties, visitors risk sustaining life-threatening or fatal premises liability injuries. While you’re dealing with the trauma, expense, and pain, the owner of the property is building a case to protect their own interests. If you or a loved one have been injured on someone else’s property, know that you don’t have to deal with this alone. While the property owner and insurance company focus on protecting themselves, our attorneys will exclusively advocate for your interests.

    Ridesharing has become a prominent industry in the United States in recent years. In fact, in 2023, Uber featured a monthly user amount of over 130 million people. This rise in rideshare trips has dramatically increased the number of accidents involving these vehicles. If you have been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver, contact an attorney at Wettermark Keith today.

    Slip and fall accidents in Birmingham are traumatizing and unpredictable. Insurance companies often try to minimize the compensation that slip and fall victims receive - they may attempt to shift blame to the victim of the accident, claiming they acted carelessly and are responsible for their own injuries. Our personal injury lawyers will help you navigate complex legal procedures, communicate with different parties on your behalf, and protect your rights all the way to the courtroom.

    Large or commercial vehicles, including 18-wheelers or tractor-trailers, adhere to stringent safety regulations. When truck drivers disregard these rules they put other drivers at significant risk. Accidents involving commercial trucks tend to cause more significant harm to those involved because of how heavy and large the vehicles are. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, our attorneys are here to help secure the financial compensation you deserve.

    A workplace injury occurs roughly every seven seconds. In 2022, in Alabama's private employment industry, 2.3 out of every 100 workers experienced a non-fatal injury on the job. Dangerous industries - like mining, manufacturing, and construction - may see the most serious injuries, but no one is immune to the risks of the workplace, since even sedentary jobs can lead to arthritis that damages your quality of life. Regardless of the nature of your job, workers' compensation is a fundamental right all employees deserve, and you should contact a workers' comp attorney if you have experienced an injury at work.

    If you have been involved in an 18-wheeler accident, you may be dealing with severe injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages. In such cases, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other damages. Our attorneys can assist you in navigating the complex legal system, negotiating with insurance companies, and pursuing legal action against the responsible parties. Their primary focus will be on helping you recover physically, emotionally, and financially from the accident.

    Every personal injury claim is unique, with its own story and challenges. At Wettermark Keith, we give voice to your experience, ensuring that your rights are protected and your story is heard. Our comprehensive approach includes gathering evidence, understanding your specific needs, and presenting your case compellingly, all while fighting tirelessly for the compensation you are entitled to. If you have been involved in any of these above accidents or others, do not hesitate to contact our personal injury attorneys from our Birmingham Wettermark Keith office to set up a free consultation with our legal team.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Alabama is two years. It's crucial to understand that this time limit is strictly enforced, and if you fail to file your claim within the specified timeframe, you may lose your right to seek compensation.

    Speaking with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident is essential. Seeking legal counsel immediately after your accident will help you prove liability and increase how much compensation you receive.

    If you need legal advice, the sooner you can contact a Birmingham lawyer, the better. If you’re able to contact one of our personal injury lawyers right away, they may be able to survey the scene of the accident to help you gather evidence for your case.

    Determining if you have enough evidence to support a case can be challenging. Our law firm will evaluate your case during your complimentary consultation. As a client, your Birmingham personal injury attorney will let you know what types of damages you can recover.

    It can be challenging to gather evidence and negotiate with insurance companies after a stressful and disruptive accident. Our lawyers' knowledge and negotiation skills can keep you from making critical mistakes that leave you without a means to properly recover from your injuries. We expedite our clients' claims, assist them in accessing medical care, and help them heal. Our attorneys are highly experienced and skilled at negotiating with medical providers to reduce a client’s medical expenses owed to that provider. This reduction in medical bills allows for more money to go to you, the injured person, rather than the hospital or doctor.

    In Alabama, the court examines the evidence to determine which party acted with negligence by failing to act with reasonable care. Personal injury cases are not always straightforward, so it is vital to have the right lawyer on your side to build you a solid case.

    We advise our Birmingham clients against putting any info on their social media profiles that might hurt their case. It is safer to avoid posting entirely, as anything you share could be used against you by insurance providers.

    When you get in a wreck, your blood pressure skyrockets as cortisol and adrenaline flood your system. People have been known to lift thousands of pounds at the height of an adrenaline rush, not feeling the damage to their bodies.

    Adrenaline is often deceiving. Your pain could set in later as internal or external injuries begin to aggressively make themselves known. Even if you think it’s just whiplash, seek medical evaluation. Your safety is vital, and you may find you have a personal injury case.

    Legally, you can file a claim and enter the judicial process on your own. However, you should not do so without an advocate who understands the law and is committed to your recovery. A personal injury attorney from Wettermark Keith will work tirelessly to navigate you through the process and help you know what compensation you could be entitled to.

    My personal embattlement with the Social Security Administration went downhill. From a personal recommendation, I reached out to Wettermark Keith law firm. Brian Smith and his team took my case and throughout the whole process, I felt more than just another number. Frequent updates were provided, and emphasis was placed on ensuring all needed documentation was in place. In the end, the accident case resulted in a favorable victory.

    I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mark English at Wettermark Keith law firm after my car accident in December 2021. He was very thorough in everything, did a wonderful job of explaining everything that was happening, and was super easy to get in touch with when I needed him. I never had a question that was left unanswered by this lawyer. He's very kind and patient, and he made the personal injury claims process so easy for me. I absolutely recommend him, it was a pleasure working with him!

    - Rose

    I am so elated that I utilized Mr. Muhammad Abdullah’s services. In the beginning, he told me the compensation that I would receive for my personal injury claim and I actually received more than that! After my car wreck (in my brand-new vehicle), I was actually surprised that I was in the pain that I was in. Mr. Abdullah made sure I saw the necessary people for therapy and worked hard to get me back into my car after the accident. I felt that he was diligent, listened to my concerns, and quickly got me back in my car and compensated! I will be utilizing Mr. Abdullah again and again, anytime I ever have to hire a lawyer.
