- Surgeries
- Ongoing Care
- Prescriptions
- Medical Devices & In-Home Assistance
- Rehabilitation
- Lost Wages
- Diminished Earning Capacity

What You Need To Know About Whiplash Injuries
Do not buy into the myth that whiplash injuries are not serious. Studies show that the damage to the soft tissues of your neck can lead to long-term problems and chronic pain.
Whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly and forcefully thrown back and forth, often due to the impact of a collision. This type of injury is especially common in rear-end collisions, even at low speeds. For some, untreated neck injuries grow worse over time.
Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries
After a car accident, it is important to get medical attention and listen to your body. Some auto accident injuries, like whiplash, might not appear right away. Being aware of the symptoms and acting quickly to get medical care could make a huge difference in your recovery.
Symptoms of whiplash often include:
- Neck Pain & Stiffness
- Limited Range of Motion
- Headaches
- Shoulder, Arm, or Back Pain
- Dizziness & Fatigue
- Blurred Vision
- Trouble Sleeping
- Difficulty Concentrating
If you suspect you have whiplash, see a doctor right away. Then, call our Alabama personal injury attorneys so we can review your case and determine your legal options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Injuries
How Long Do I Have To File a Car Accident Injury Claim in Alabama?
In Alabama, you have up to 2 years to file a personal injury claim after a car accident in most cases. This 2-year period runs from the date of your car accident, and it establishes a strict deadline to file. If you are late filing your claim by even a day, you won’t be able to seek the financial compensation you deserve.
While you may have up to 2 years to file a car accident injury claim, you should not wait any longer than necessary to take legal action. If you think you may have a claim, we strongly encourage you to schedule a FREE consultation with one of our attorneys as soon as possible.
Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partially At Fault for the Accident?
Alabama is one of only a handful of states where you cannot recover financial compensation if you were partially at fault in a car accident. This is because Alabama follows a rule known as “pure contributory negligence.” Under this rule, if your negligence contributed to your injuries at all, you are not entitled to any financial compensation for your injury-related losses.
However, you should never assume that you were partially at fault in a car accident. Determining fault requires a thorough investigation and critical analysis of the evidence. If you have questions about seeking financial compensation after a car accident in Alabama, we strongly encourage you to contact us for a FREE consultation.
Do I Need To See a Doctor Even if I Feel Okay After the Accident?
It is a good idea to see a doctor after a car accident, even if you initially feel fine. There are two equally important reasons why:
- Your adrenaline from the accident could be masking your symptoms
- Internal injuries don’t always have symptoms right away.
If you were injured in a car accident, getting the treatment you need as soon as possible will be important for protecting your health and your legal rights.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Lawyer for a Car Accident Case?
It costs nothing out-of-pocket to hire a lawyer for a car accident case in Alabama. Our lawyers handle all car accident cases on a contingency-fee basis. This means that you only have to pay legal fees and costs if your case is successful (in which case your legal fees and costs will be deducted from your settlement or verdict). If your case is unsuccessful, you will owe nothing.
What Happens if the Other Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?
If you got hit by a driver who doesn’t have insurance, your options depend on the circumstances at hand. If you have collision and/or uninsured motorist (UM) coverage under your insurance policy, now may be the time to use it.
However, it is possible that another party (i.e., the at-fault driver’s employer or rideshare company) could be liable for your accident as well. When you hire a knowledgeable lawyer to represent you, they will evaluate all potential options for recovering compensation on your behalf.
How Long Does a Typical Car Accident Case Take to Resolve?
Car accident cases can take anywhere from a few months to more than a year to resolve. In most cases, you can expect a resolution somewhere in the range of three to six months. However, several factors will affect the timeline of your case, and some of these factors (like the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate) may be beyond your control.
If you have clear evidence of liability and the insurance companies are willing to make a fair settlement offer, your case could be over relatively quickly. On the other hand, if you need to take the case to court, the process could take significantly longer.
Can I File a Claim if I Was a Passenger in the Car Accident?
Yes, both drivers and passengers can file car accident claims in Alabama. If you were injured in a car accident that was not your fault, you should promptly schedule a FREE consultation with a car accident injury attorney to discuss your legal rights. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you could be entitled to significant compensation for your losses.
What Should I Bring to My Initial Consultation With an Attorney?
You should plan to bring as much documentation as possible to your initial consultation. If you have a copy of the police report, photos or videos on your phone, copies of your medical records, the other driver’s insurance information, or any other information that may be relevant to your claim, you should bring it with you.
If you don’t have everything, that’s okay. The most important thing is to reach out as soon as possible.
