Court: United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama (Montgomery County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Mickey McDermott
Defendant's Attorney: Mac Freeman
Description: Montgomery, Alabama personal injury car wreck lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on an auto negligence theory.
"Here are some key things to know about Alabama personal injury law:
Statute of limitations: In Alabama, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you will be barred from recovering any damages.
Contributory negligence: Alabama is a contributory negligence state, which means that if you are even partially at fault for your own injuries, you cannot recover any damages from the person who caused the accident. For example, if you are 10% at fault for a car accident and the other driver is 90% at fault, you will not be able to recover any damages from the other driver.
Punitive damages: Alabama allows for the award of punitive damages in personal injury cases, but only if the defendant's actions were malicious or reckless. Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant and deter them from similar behavior in the future.
Damages: In a personal injury case, you may be able to recover damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. The amount of damages you are awarded will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life.
If you have been injured in an accident in Alabama, it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options and can represent you in a lawsuit if necessary."
