How to choose a lawyer in Brighton

Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat that differently. A good fit also knows the local courts and the insurers that write policies in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day, not just who signs the agreement. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Brighton

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Acting promptly matters in Alabama, where the filing deadline is 2 years from the date of injury. Once your health is addressed, use our directory to find a Brighton personal injury lawyer and talk through your options.
