A Montgomery Spinal Cord Injury Attorney for the Fight Ahead

A spinal cord injury (SCI) brings immediate uncertainty. The doctors may be saying frightening things that leave you wondering how you will manage long-term care and financial stability. At the same time, you may be wondering if you can hold the responsible party accountable. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone.

We build every case as though it is headed to trial, because insurance companies pay closer attention to a firm willing to walk into a courtroom. Families we’ve represented have gotten the surgeries, equipment, and years of care they needed covered.

Let us know what your doctors are telling you and what happened, and we will start figuring out what your case may be worth.

How Trial Experience Can Change Insurance Negotiations

No two cases are alike, and a past result never predicts what will happen in yours. What our record shows is that we do not fold when an insurer refuses to pay what a case is worth. We prepare every catastrophic injury claim for a jury from day one.

Outcome Case Type
$120 Million Verdict, dram shop / drunk driving crash, Alabama
$10 Million Verdict, wrongful death from negligent road construction, Alabama

These are actual verdicts obtained by our attorneys. Every case is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome in yours.

How Spinal Cord Injuries Happen in Montgomery 

A spinal cord injury can happen in an instant, and what caused it usually decides who can be held legally responsible. We handle spinal cord injury cases arising from:

  • Car and truck crashes: high-speed and rear-end wrecks are a leading cause of spinal trauma on Alabama roads.
  • Drunk and impaired driving crashes: Alabama’s dram shop law can make a bar or restaurant liable, not just the driver.
  • Defective vehicles and products: seatbelt and airbag defects can turn a survivable crash into a catastrophic one.
  • Falls on unsafe property: unmarked hazards and broken stairs cause serious falls in stores and apartments.
  • Workplace and construction accidents: falls from height and equipment failures are common causes of spinal injury on the job.
  • Medical negligence: a delayed diagnosis or surgical mistake can turn a treatable condition into permanent paralysis.

No matter the reason, if another person or company’s negligence was the cause of your injury, our SCI attorneys in Montgomery are prepared to help you build a strong claim. Contact us for a confidential consultation to learn more about how we help survivors recover fair compensation. 

Why Insurance Companies Fight Harder Against Spinal Cord Injury Claims

Spinal cord injuries can be expensive.The costs can be millions of dollars over your lifetime, depending on your age and the severity of your injury. Insurance companies often want to pay as little as possible so they can maximize their profits.

In an effort to minimize your financial recovery, insurance companies fight hard by:

  • Moving to settle quickly. This may happen before you know the full extent of your injury and future costs. The settlement terms will likely prevent you from seeking additional compensation later.
  • Saying you were partly at fault. Alabama’s contributory negligence law prevents you from recovering compensation if you had any fault in the accident. Insurance adjusters may actively look for ways to attribute partial blame to you.

While insurers are busy building a case against you from the first day, we are committed to building your potential case.

Where Montgomery Spinal Cord Injury Patients Actually Get Treated

The hospital that treats you first shapes the medical record your case will be built on. Baptist Medical Center South is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in central Alabama, equipped for the most critical injuries. Jackson Hospital operates as a Level 3 Trauma Center with a Blue Distinction Center+ designation in spine surgery. 

Many patients with a severe spinal cord injury are eventually transferred about 90 miles north to the Spain Rehabilitation Center at UAB in Birmingham, home to Alabama’s dedicated Spinal Cord Injury Model System program. 

That transfer matters for your case, not just your recovery. Insurance companies may try to value a claim based on the first hospital stay, before a rehabilitation team has weighed in on what your long-term care will require.

FAQs for Montgomery Spinal Cord Injury Clients and Their Families

How much does it cost to hire a Montgomery spinal cord injury lawyer?

We handle spinal cord injury cases on a contingency fee, so you pay nothing upfront and no attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you.

How long will my case take?

Spinal cord injury cases often take longer than a typical injury claim because doctors need time to determine your full prognosis and lifetime care needs before we can value your case accurately. Settling before that point almost always means leaving money on the table.

Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?

Not without having it reviewed first. Early offers are almost always based on the medical bills you have so far, not the surgeries, equipment, and long-term care you may need for the rest of your life.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Alabama follows a strict rule that can bar you from recovering anything if you were even slightly at fault, which is why insurance companies look hard for any reason to blame you. We work to protect you from that outcome starting with the first phone call.

What compensation can I recover for a spinal cord injury?

Depending on your case, you may be able to recover medical costs, future care and equipment, lost income and earning capacity, home modifications, and compensation for pain and the loss of independence that comes with a catastrophic injury.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Alabama?

Under Ala. Code § 6-2-38(l), most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. If your spinal cord injury was caused by a medical mistake, a different law applies. The Alabama Medical Liability Act applies and gives you two years, but the clock and the exceptions work differently than in a car accident case. Ask us which deadline applies to your situation.

Where will my Montgomery spinal cord injury lawsuit be filed?

Most spinal cord injury lawsuits arising in Montgomery are filed in Montgomery County Circuit Court at the Phelps-Price Justice Center, and our office is a short walk from the courthouse.
