Getting hurt in an accident can turn your whole life upside down. You might be dealing with:
This is a lot for anyone to handle, especially when you’re trying to recover from an injury. That’s where personal injury lawyers like Michael Strickland come in.
“After an accident, most people have never dealt with the legal system before,” says Michael Strickland, who has been helping accident victims in Alabama for over 30 years. “Our job is to handle the legal parts so you can focus on getting better.”
Many people in Montgomery and across Alabama aren’t sure exactly what personal injury lawyers do. Here’s how the experienced team at Strickland Law Group helps accident victims:
At Strickland Law Group, the first meeting (called a consultation) is always free. During this meeting, you can explain what happened and learn:
“We believe everyone deserves to understand their rights, regardless of their ability to pay,” explains Michael Strickland, who has secured some of the largest settlements in Montgomery history.
Good lawyers are like detectives. They gather evidence to prove who was at fault for your injury by:
“The evidence we collect in the first days and weeks after an accident can make or break a case,” Michael Strickland points out. “That’s why it’s important to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.”
After an accident, insurance adjusters might call you asking for statements or offering quick settlements. These adjusters work for the insurance company – not for you. Their job is to pay as little as possible.
When you hire Strickland Law Group, they take over all communication with insurance companies. This means:
“Insurance companies have teams of lawyers protecting their interests,” says Michael Strickland. “You deserve to have someone just as experienced fighting for you.”
How much is a broken leg worth? What about missed school activities or the pain you experienced? These questions are difficult to answer without legal experience.
Experienced attorneys like those at Strickland Law Group know how to calculate the full value of your claim, including:
“Many people don’t realize that a quick settlement might not cover future medical needs,” warns Michael Strickland. “We make sure all your future expenses are considered.”
Most personal injury cases settle without going to court. Your lawyer will:
At Strickland Law Group, Michael Strickland have negotiated settlements for thousands of clients across Alabama. Their reputation as tough trial lawyers often helps them secure better settlements.
If the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement, your lawyer can file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. This involves:
“Unlike some lawyers who never see the inside of a courtroom, we’ve tried over 100 cases to verdict,” says Michael Strickland. “When insurance companies know we’re ready for trial, they often offer better settlements.”
Many young people in Montgomery worry about how much a lawyer costs. Here’s good news: At Strickland Law Group, you don’t pay anything upfront.
Personal injury lawyers work on what’s called a “contingency fee.” This means:
“This system means everyone can afford quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation,” explains Michael Strickland. “And it means we’re motivated to get you the best possible result.”
Here are some examples of how Strickland Law Group has helped people in situations like yours:
A 16-year-old student was hit by a distracted driver in Montgomery. While her parents focused on her recovery, Strickland Law Group handled everything else – finding witnesses, getting traffic camera footage, and negotiating with the insurance company. The result was a settlement that covered all medical bills, therapy, and even tutoring for missed school.
A 12-year-old boy slipped on a spill at a Montgomery grocery store, breaking his arm. The store claimed they weren’t responsible. Michael Strickland obtained security footage showing the spill had been there for hours without being cleaned up. The case settled for enough to cover all medical expenses plus compensation for pain and missing baseball season.
A young girl was bitten by an unleashed dog at a Montgomery park. The dog owner’s insurance company initially offered only $5,000. After Michael Strickland documented the emotional trauma and scarring, the case settled for ten times that amount – enough to cover plastic surgery and counseling.
After an accident or injury in Montgomery or anywhere in Alabama, it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. This is because:
“Even if you’re not sure if you have a case, a free consultation gives you peace of mind,” says Michael Strickland. “It’s always better to know your options.”
In Montgomery, there are many law firms that handle personal injury cases. What makes Strickland Law Group special?
“At some firms, clients are passed around between paralegals and junior attorneys,” Michael Strickland points out. “At Strickland Law Group, our attorneys take a hands-on approach, personally overseeing every case.”
