Car accidents can cause serious and sometimes devastating injuries. These can range from cuts, bruises, and soft tissue injuries to catastrophic injuries including head, neck, spinal cord and brain injuries. How will I pay my medical bills? How will I support my family while I recover? These are some of the questions people injured in auto accidents ask themselves. The car accident lawyers at Barfoot & Schoettker can help by providing answers to these questions and by offering advice regarding your legal rights and remedies when you are involved in a car accident or any other type of accident.

Under Alabama law, you may have the right to recover monetary damages if you have been injured in a car accident through the negligence or recklessness of another person. Damages may include reimbursement or compensation for:

• Medical costs
• Property loss
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering

 

After a car accident, a representative of the negligent party's auto insurance company may call and make a settlement offer in your personal injury case. Please remember that signing a release of your personal injury claim, in exchange for an insurance company check, may extinguish your personal injury claim forever. Also keep in mind that insurance companies are businesses. Therefore, even if the insurance company makes what you believe is a reasonable settlement offer, it may be in your best interest to contact experienced car accident attorneys, like Barfoot & Schoettker, who will evaluate your case and put your interests ahead of the insurance companies.
