    Boylston Alabama Injury Attorney

Boylston Personal Injury Attorney

Have you or someone you care about been injured in an accident? Have you lost a loved one because of another party’s negligence? When you need a personal injury attorney in Boylston, Alabama, you can rely on Frank Wilson, Attorney at Law for aggressive representation and reliable legal guidance. 

Whether a recent auto or truck accident has left you with serious or catastrophic injuries, you were a victim of medical malpractice, or have suffered bodily harm due to a defective product, our legal team will fight for the full and fair compensation you are owed. 

Types of Personal Injury Matters We Handle

Many victims who are injured in accidents are unaware of their legal options. For this reason alone, we recommend reaching out to a knowledgeable, local personal injury attorney with experience protecting the rights of victims following a devastating accident. Our firm has successfully handled cases involving:

  • Car accidents – These accidents are nearly always serious because they involve another vehicle and result in serious injuries. 
  • Truck accidents – Truck accident accidents can not only be severe but also complicated because many different parties could be held accountable for your damages. 
  • Motorcycle accidents – Motorcyclists don’t have the benefit of a car or truck frame for protection and visibility and can be severely injured in a crash. 
  • Products liability – Injuries stemming from dangerous or defective products such as toys, machinery, vehicles, and even medication can have lasting consequences, and the parties responsible can vary from the designers, manufacturers, and retailers of the products. 
  • Slip and fall accidents – When an injury happens on another party’s premises due to unsafe conditions, you have the right to hold that property owner or manager responsible. 
  • Medical malpractice – You may have a valid medical malpractice case if your physician, hospital, or some other medical professional makes an error in treatment, diagnosis, or some other poor judgment call. 
  • Dog bites – In Alabama, dog owners are strictly liable for their pet’s behavior, meaning the owner will be held responsible even if the animal had no history of dangerous acts. 
  • Catastrophic injuries – Some injuries are so severe that they have a catastrophic impact on the victim’s life. When this occurs, you have the right to compensation. 
  • Wrongful death – When a family loses a loved one due to another party’s negligence, a wrongful death claim can help them meet future financial responsibilities and allow them to begin the healing process. 

Personal Injury Damages You May Pursue

A personal injury attorney can help determine how much your case is worth. This is primarily based on the damages you have suffered, so every case is different. For instance, a car accident claim might focus on property damage, medical bills, and lost wages. But a dog bite case may involve more trauma and pain and suffering. 

Some of the possible damages you can pursue in a personal injury case include:

  • Replacement of damaged property
  • Medical care
  • Medical equipment
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Medical equipment
  • Home healthcare
  • Physical and vocational rehabilitation
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • Transportation costs
  • Mental anguish

If you’ve lost a loved one due to another party’s negligence, you have the right to pursue a wrongful death case against the responsible party. Our firm can also help you place a value on these damages and will protect your family’s interests. 

What You Need to Know About Boylston Personal Injury Cases

State-by-state, there are a lot of similarities in the way personal injury cases are handled. But there are also some differences based on the way each state legislature and the courts regulate the respective systems. If you were injured in Boylston, it is vital that you understand how these rules might impact your case. 

Shared Liability in Boylston Accidents

While you may have little doubt about who is to blame for your accident and injuries, the insurance company and courts might see things differently. In some cases, both parties share some of the blame, or the other side would like for you to take full responsibility so that they don’t have to pay damages. 

It’s important to understand that Alabama is a contributory negligence state, which applies some of the strictest rules regarding shared negligence. In short, if you are found to be even one percent responsible for your injuries, you will not be able to recover anything, even if the other party was 99 percent responsible. 

This is a harsh rule that insurance companies will try to leverage to their benefit. This is one of the primary reasons why you need an experienced personal injury attorney firmly in your corner from day one. 

Caps on Personal Injury Damages

Fortunately, Alabama law doesn’t create limits on personal injury compensation for cases involving private individuals. The only exception is for punitive damages, which are damages meant to punish a defendant or discourage similar conduct by others in the future. 

According to the law, there must be “clear and convincing evidence” that the responsible party acted with “deliberate and conscious malice.” Even if you can prove this, punitive damages are capped at the greater of three times the total award or $1.5 million. 

The only other personal injury limits apply to cases involving municipalities (counties, cities, or towns). The limit on damages in these cases is $100,000. 

Statute of Limitations

Every state creates time limits for pursuing legal action, called a statute of limitations. You have just two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. But, acting quickly is generally the best approach. Witnesses can disappear or forget the details of an event, and evidence can be destroyed. If you’ve been injured in an accident, don’t wait to hold the responsible party accountable.
