Birmingham's highways and intersections are among the most dangerous in Alabama – and insurance companies move fast to protect themselves.
A distracted driver drifts into your lane on I-65 as you head home through Homewood. A tractor-trailer jackknifes during a downpour on I-459 near the Galleria. An impaired driver runs a red light at a Highway 280 intersection, t-boning your vehicle on the way to work.
Alabama law gives crash victims two hard deadlines.
The state follows a strict contributory negligence rule – meaning even 1% of fault assigned to you can bar recovery entirely. And the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is two years from the date of the crash. Insurance adjusters know both rules, and they routinely call injured drivers within days of a wreck hoping for a recorded statement that shifts blame.
How our Birmingham attorneys build your case.
At Wettermark Keith, we take those calls so you don't have to. Our team will:
- Investigate the crash scene and preserve evidence before it disappears.
- Pull police reports from Jefferson County and the Alabama State Troopers.
- Work with accident reconstructionists when the crash facts are disputed.
- Identify every potentially liable party – driver, employer, insurer, and any commercial defendant.
- Build a case designed to survive Alabama's contributory negligence defense.
We handle claims for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and – in cases involving drunk, distracted, or commercial drivers – punitive damages.
