The Wilson PC helps injury victims across Montgomery County, including Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka, Pike Road, Cloverdale and the surrounding communities, pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income and the real impact an injury has on your life.

Where I-65 Meets I-85: Why Montgomery Injury Claims Need Early Attention

Two interstates meet in Montgomery, and U.S. 231 along the Eastern Boulevard, U.S. 80 and the Atlanta Highway carry the local traffic between them. State workers, military families, freight haulers and travelers passing through share those roads, so a Montgomery crash often involves an out-of-town driver, a commercial vehicle or a government vehicle.

Each of those raises its own deadline and its own insurer, and under Alabama's pure contributory negligence rule every one of those insurers will look for a way to say you share the blame. We sort out who is responsible and preserve the proof before it is gone.

Hurt in Montgomery? Start With These Steps

  1. Make sure everyone is safe and call for help. Emergency crews will take the seriously injured to Baptist Medical Center South or another area hospital. Accept the ride if it is offered; adrenaline hides injuries.
  2. Have the incident put on record. The Montgomery Police Department responds inside the city, and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office or state troopers respond outside it. For a fall or a dog bite, ask the property owner or manager for a written incident report.
  3. Write down who was involved. Pay attention to markings on the vehicle. A state, city or county vehicle, or a company truck, changes which deadline and which insurer apply.
  4. Keep every record. Discharge papers, prescriptions, receipts, pay stubs and the photos on your phone. Order the crash report from ALEA once it is available.
  5. Talk to us before the adjuster. Anything you say can be used to argue you were partly at fault, and in Alabama that argument can defeat the claim.

Losses You Can Recover in a Montgomery Injury Case

A fair settlement accounts for more than the first hospital bill. When we value a Montgomery claim we look at:

  • Every medical expense to date, and the care your doctors expect you to need
  • Income you have already lost and the effect on your future earnings
  • Pain, limitation and the activities the injury has taken from you
  • Repair or replacement of your vehicle and belongings
  • Out-of-pocket costs such as transportation, medical equipment and help at home
  • Punitive damages where the defendant acted wantonly (Ala. Code § 6-11-20)

Why River Region Families Call The Wilson PC

Montgomery is the state capital, which changes injury cases in ways people do not expect. A claim against a state agency does not go to circuit court at all; it goes to the State Board of Adjustment. A claim against the city or the county has its own short notice deadline.

Knowing which rule applies in the first week, and which agency investigated, where you were treated and how cases move through the Phelps-Price Justice Center, is what keeps a good claim from being lost on a technicality.

We identify every responsible party and every deadline at the start, then build the case from there.

What Our Montgomery Injury Lawyers Do for You

Finding Everyone Responsible

The driver, the employer, the vehicle owner, a contractor or a government body. Each may carry separate insurance.

Counting Every Loss

Hospital bills, therapy, missed paychecks, reduced earning ability and the pain the injury has caused. Alabama does not cap compensatory damages in an ordinary injury case.

Handling the Insurers

Calls, forms and recorded-statement requests come to us, not to you.

Protecting You From Blame

We assemble the facts that answer a contributory negligence defense before the insurer raises it.

Filing When It Is Time

If a fair offer does not come, we file in the Montgomery County Circuit Court and prepare for trial.

Records That Tell the Story

We coordinate with Baptist Medical Center South and other Montgomery providers so your treatment is fully documented.

Find Our Montgomery Office on Dexter Avenue

Our Montgomery office is a short walk from the State Capitol and the Phelps-Price Justice Center. We also meet by phone, by video or wherever you are recovering.

Montgomery Personal Injury Lawyer: Answers for River Region Residents

What if a state or city vehicle caused my injury in Montgomery?

The rules depend on who owned the vehicle. A claim against the State of Alabama or a state agency is heard by the State Board of Adjustment rather than a court. A claim against the City of Montgomery requires a sworn claim within six months, and a claim against Montgomery County must be presented within 12 months. Recovery against cities and counties is capped at $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence. Tell us early if a government vehicle or employee was involved.

Where are Montgomery injury lawsuits filed?

Cases worth more than $20,000 are filed in the Montgomery County Circuit Court, part of Alabama's 15th Judicial Circuit, at the Phelps-Price Justice Center, 251 S. Lawrence St. Claims of up to $20,000 can be heard in district court. Alabama's constitution protects the right to a jury trial in these cases.

What is the deadline for an injury claim in Montgomery, Alabama?

Two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims, and two years from the date of death for a wrongful death claim. Alabama law extends the time for people who were under 19 when they were hurt. Claims against government bodies have much shorter notice deadlines, so do not wait.

The other driver's insurer says I caused part of the crash. What now?

In Alabama that argument matters, because contributory negligence can bar a claim entirely. It is also the insurer's burden to prove, and wanton conduct by the other driver or the last clear chance doctrine can overcome it. Avoid giving a recorded statement until you have spoken with a lawyer.

Should I accept the first settlement offer?

Usually not before a lawyer has looked at it. Early offers tend to arrive before your treatment is finished, which means they cannot account for future care or lost earnings. Once you sign a release the claim is over, even if your condition gets worse. Reviewing an offer with us costs nothing.

Can I afford a lawyer if I am out of work?

Yes. We handle injury cases on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing up front and our fee is a share of what we recover. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. We explain the agreement in plain terms before you decide.

Do you help people outside the city, in Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka or Pike Road?

Yes. Our Montgomery office serves injured people across the River Region. We can meet at our Dexter Avenue office, by phone or video, or at the hospital.
