Personal injury cases in Montgomery span far more than car crashes – and insurance companies move fast to protect themselves.
A distracted driver blows through a red light at the I-65/I-85 interchange as you head home from work. An Eastchase retailer leaves a spill unmarked and you fall, fracturing a hip. A downtown contractor drops equipment from scaffolding onto a passerby near Dexter Avenue. A dog roams loose off-leash near a Cloverdale sidewalk and bites a child. Each is a different claim, but they share one thing: an insurer whose job is to pay you as little as possible.
Why personal injury cases are different from a simple claim.
Every case turns on proving two things – that someone else's negligence caused your injury, and that the injury produced real, documented losses. That can mean medical records, ER bills from Baptist Medical Center South or Jackson Hospital, lost paychecks, accident reconstruction, premises inspection, or expert medical testimony. Adjusters know most injured people don't have that record-building machinery, which is exactly why they push for quick, low settlements before the full picture is known.
Alabama law gives injury victims two hard deadlines.
Alabama 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 personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under Ala. Code § 6-2-38. Insurance adjusters know both rules, and they routinely call injured Alabamians within days of an incident hoping for a recorded statement that shifts blame and kills the case.
How our Montgomery attorneys build your case.
At Wettermark Keith, we take those calls so you don't have to. Our team will:
- Investigate the scene and preserve evidence – surveillance video, incident reports, and physical conditions – before they disappear from I-65, I-85, Eastern Boulevard, or the Atlanta Highway corridor.
- Pull police reports, 911 dispatch records, and incident logs from the Montgomery Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
- Secure medical records and work with treating physicians or independent experts to document the full extent of your injuries.
- Identify every potentially liable party – driver, property owner, employer, insurer, product manufacturer, or commercial defendant.
- File and, if necessary, litigate in the Montgomery County Circuit Court – building a case designed to survive Alabama's 1% contributory-negligence trap.
We handle claims for medical bills, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and – in cases involving reckless, drunk, or grossly negligent conduct – punitive damages.
