Time Is of the Essence
Insurance companies work quickly and proactively to limit or deny wrongful death claims. If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car crash, it is important to be careful about what you say to an insurance adjuster, who may try to get you to accept an offer for far less than your case is worth. They may try to get you to make statements that hurt your case.
After a fatal car accident, the insurance company will likely get to the accident scene immediately to start building its case. For this reason, it is important to have a firm on your side with the resources to match the insurance companies step for step. As soon as we take a fatal car accident case, our lawyers begin building a case to support our client's claims. This may involve an immediate investigation of the accident scene and consulting with accident reconstructionists and other experts.
Fatal Car Accident Compensation
In Alabama, wrongful death law is complex and there are strict timelines in place. A fatal car accident claim must be brought within two years and can be brought only by the estate of the deceased. Furthermore, Alabama law allows only for punitive damages, not compensatory.
Nonetheless, you and your family could benefit greatly from pursuing a wrongful death claim. A successful outcome can help you obtain the financial resources you need to pay for final medical bills, lost earnings, funeral expenses and other losses.
