How We Help
Personal Injury
An injury can leave you dealing with medical care, time away from work and questions you’ve never had to ask. At Stansberry Kinsley, our personal injury lawyers help people in Cullman, Alabama, understand their options and what comes next.
Help with what comes next
You may be wondering how to handle an insurance call, what to do with a bill, or whether you have a claim. We can listen to what happened, review the information available and explain the legal questions in plain language.
Our work includes car and truck crashes, pedestrian accidents, injuries on someone else’s property, life-changing injuries and wrongful death. You can tell us about your situation in your own words.
More than one of these may apply. We can help you sort it out.
Is there a deadline?
Many Alabama injury lawsuits have a two-year filing period. The deadline for your situation depends on the kind of claim, when it arose and whether special notice rules apply. Reviewing those dates early helps establish what time is available to take the next step.
Why does fault matter?
Alabama’s contributory-negligence rule can prevent recovery in an ordinary negligence case if the injured person’s own negligence contributed to the injury. The rule has exceptions. Understanding what happened, and the evidence that supports it, is an important part of reviewing a claim.
What can I do now?
Keep the records you already have: photographs, the incident report, medical bills and messages from insurers. A short note about what happened and how the injury has affected your daily life can also help. You can contact us with the information you have now.
What will it cost?
A Free Case Review costs nothing. Many personal injury cases use a contingency fee, which means the attorney’s fee is a percentage of any recovery. Before you decide whether to hire us, we’ll explain the proposed fee, any payment due upfront and how case expenses would be handled. Depending on the agreement, you may be responsible for some expenses even if no attorney’s fee is owed.
