The Law Office of James R. Foley handles all types of Alabama personal injury matters, including—
Auto accidents
When a car accident occurs, it is imperative that aggressive action is taken right away to protect the rights of injured people. Insurance companies work hard to keep the injured from receiving compensation by paying adjusters, investigators and attorneys to minimize the damages a victim has suffered. You need strong representation to ensure your rights are protected.
In addition to possible physical injuries, victims may also be suffering from emotional, physical and financial injuries. An experienced Alabama auto accident attorney can obtain help with medical bills, loss of income, cost of rental car, rehabilitation, and your future. The first thing you should do after a car accident is contact a physician and a car accident lawyer, because seemingly minor auto accidents can cause prolonged pain and medical costs. Even if you do not have obvious injuries like broken bones, cuts, lacerations or bruises, you may have sustained a connective-tissue or brain injury which, if left untreated, could cause major health problems in the long term.
Slip and fall
If you have been injured on someone’s premises you should report your accident to the property owner as soon as possible. Get the names, addresses and the telephone numbers of any eyewitnesses and take pictures of the accident scene. These photos can serve as evidence of the defective condition of the property on the day of the accident.
Additionally, you should save all evidence related to the fall. This includes the shoes and clothing you wore, as well as any other items relevant to your accident. In addition, photograph any injury immediately after the fall, and monitor your swelling or bruising with photos or a journal. By taking steps to protect yourself and document your injury, The Law Office of James R. Foley can assist you in obtaining the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Wrongful death
A wrongful death cause of action in Alabama is one in which a person dies due to the negligence or willful misconduct of another. Alabama's wrongful death statue is unique in that it only permits recovery for punitive damages and denies any recovery for compensatory damages. Thus, Alabama's wrongful death statute is designed to punish the wrongdoer, not to compensate the family for economic losses. If you have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death scenario, contact The Law Office of James R. Foley for aggressive legal help in pursuing this matter to the fullest extent of Alabama law.
