How to choose a lawyer in Cordova

When picking from the local attorneys in our directory, look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may face. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and who pays them. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar before you commit.

What to do after an accident in Cordova

After an accident in Cordova, protect your health and your claim. Get medical care even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange and gather information from everyone involved and any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Alabama sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. A local attorney can review your situation and explain your options.
