Personal Injury

Some accidents are unavoidable. Others, unfortunately, occur because of someone else’s error or misconduct and can result in serious injury or even death.

Even minor accidents can have a major impact

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you know the effects can be devastating. Accidents can result in expensive medical bills, loss of income, and an inability to lead a normal life.

As a victim in a personal injury case, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Big John can help. He represents clients in personal injury cases, including:

  • Nursing home abuse
  • Workplace injuries
  • Wrongful death

Personal injury in Alabama

Alabama personal injury law is not always simple. Take negligence, for example. Alabama follows the pure doctrine of contributory negligence, under which you may not be entitled to any compensation if it is determined that your own carelessness contributed to your injury.

In wrongful death cases, Alabama considers damages to be punitive—not compensatory. This means that instead of getting compensation for your loved one’s medical bills or funeral costs, the liable party pays for their neglect. As a result, damages may be awarded in cases of simple negligence, with no requirement of willful behavior by defendants.

An attorney who understands the nuances of Alabama personal injury law could have a huge impact on the outcome of your case. Big John is that attorney.
