Description

Alabama Defective Vehicle Attorney Auto manufacturers and their subcontracted parts production companies are required by law to ensure their vehicles and component pass highly regulated crashworthiness tests to ensure public safety. If an individual component or system fails at highway speeds, the driver and passengers — as well as others on the road — face the potential of serious injury or death from the resulting accident. If you were seriously injured in an accident because your seat belt or air bag failed , or the crash was caused by sudden acceleration or other systems failure, you are entitled to seek significant compensation for your medical expenses and treatment over a lifetime of injuries, as well as lost current and future earnings. You are also entitled to seek money damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages, in the event of gross and deliberate negligence. Compassionate, Vigorous Representation In 1998, attorney Whit Drake opened our law firm with a commitment to providing compassionate, vigorous representation for plaintiffs who have suffered injury and loss because of someone else's negligence.

With few exceptions, only those injuries that your doctor relates to the accident can be claimed. Alabama law has long required medical testimony as a condition to claiming an injury is accident-related. Generally speaking, most physicians mention “mva”(motor vehicle accident) in the medical chart, so the relatedness of the injury to the accident is usually self-evident.

"My father was in an accident involving an eighteen wheeler hitting a van and the van hitting him from behind. The van driver hired Attorney Drake. With my father being elderly he discussed what steps he should take. We told him it was fine to discuss the accident. He did not have an attorney but was seeing a doctor. After the conversation we advised him to seek legal advice and with the investigation already underway we did not see the need to go anywhere else but to the Drake Law Firm. My sister took him for his first visit and they both felt as ease with Attorney Drake and his staff. They were informed they would not constantly pester him as they investigated but to be sure they were working on his case. The team would check in periodically if information was needed and also to check on his health. All staff members were always pleasant which made you feel you were valued as a person and not just a client. My father was diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer during the process and Attorney Drake was right there with us praying for a miracle. After trying to settle out of court the trucking company decided on a trial.
