Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims

  • Do I need a personal injury attorney after an accident in Alabama?

    Many people are unsure whether they need legal representation, especially if an insurance company has already contacted them with a settlement offer. A consultation can help clarify your rights, identify potential claim value, and explain whether accepting an offer too early could affect future recovery.

  • How much does it cost to hire Elizabeth A. Citrin, P.C.?

    Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. That means legal fees are only collected if compensation is successfully recovered on your behalf.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Alabama?

    In many Alabama injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Certain circumstances may affect deadlines, so speaking with an attorney early helps preserve important rights and evidence.

  • What if the insurance company says I was partially at fault?

    Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule, which can significantly affect injury claims if fault is disputed. Early investigation and careful evidence development are often critical in these cases.

  • Will my case have to go to trial?

    Many injury claims resolve through settlement negotiations, but some cases require litigation when insurers refuse to offer fair compensation. Preparing cases thoroughly from the start helps strengthen negotiation leverage while remaining ready for court if needed.
