Personal Injury FAQs
The aftermath of a serious accident can be an overwhelmingly confusing experience, and if you are trying to figure out what to do next we invite you to come to us for help. Read through answers to common questions about personal injury cases, and then contact us for a free consultation.

Bicycle Accidents
More than 500,000 Americans take a trip to the emergency room each year to treat bicycle-related injuries. This is likely because bicyclists are afforded little to no protection in the event of an accident— especially when it involves a much larger motor vehicle.

BP Oil Spill Claims
The infamous BP oil spill has left thousands reeling throughout Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Texas—including both businesses and individuals who reside in the affected areas. Fortunately, the personal injury lawyers at Morris, Cary, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC are available to tackle these complex claims on behalf of those who have suffered unjust consequences.

Car Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of injury and death nationwide, but many people forget how dangerous it is to drive until it is too late. A large percentage of car accidents are caused by drivers who are distracted, drunk or who are driving recklessly.

Dog Bites
Many people underestimate the devastating nature of a dog bite or an animal attack. In many cases, however, the victims are small children. For this reason, it has become increasingly important for all pet owners to act responsibly, as well as to maintain a safe environment for anyone who will be in the vicinity of their potentially dangerous dog.

General Negligence Claims
Negligence is defined as any act in which a person or entity fails to uphold a specific duty of care, subsequently resulting in someone else's unnecessary harm. This could include any instance in which a person acts carelessly or recklessly, but not necessarily with the intention of causing serious bodily harm—as this would likely result in criminal charges.

Truck Accidents
When a commercial truck driver causes another person to be injured or killed in an accident, an attorney from our team is ready to take action to hold the trucker legally accountable for his or her actions. Semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and driving one requires the utmost care and precaution.

Motorcycle Accident
The attorneys of MCATD take pride in fighting for injured motorcyclists, because we know that a large percentage of motorcycle accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Whether you were struck, thrown from the bike or run off the road, if the driver caused your accident we want to help.

Construction Accidents
Construction is widely recognized as being one of the most dangerous industries in the nation, and was reported as accounting for approximately one out of every five fatal workplace accidents in 2010. Falls, electrocution and being struck by objects are among the most fatal types of accident, along with forklift accidents and trench collapse.

Drunk Driving Accidents
Anyone who gets behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or using drugs can-and should-be held accountable for causing a collision. Drinking and driving is an act of gross negligence, as it places the lives of everyone on the road at risk.

Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance bad faith refers to an area of the law in which a policyholder is afforded the opportunity to file a tort claim against an insurance company that has failed to act in good faith. This could include failing to conduct a proper investigation of a claim and/or failing to award an appropriate amount of compensation.

Workers' Compensation
Nearly anyone who is injured on the job in Alabama is entitled to claim benefits through workers' compensation, which provides payment for medical treatment and replacement for lost wages. Workers' comp generally pays only two-thirds of the worker's normal wages, but it is a no-fault program so you do not have to prove that another person caused your injury.

Slip & Fall
Falls are some of the most dangerous types of accident, as they cause a large percentage of all traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries every year and can even be fatal. While many people will be fortunate enough to walk away from a slip and fall without any type of injury, others are not so lucky.

Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents reportedly kill more than 5,000 people a year, as well as injure about 70,000 more. Many times, these incidents are the direct result of a driver's negligence and/or unsafe driving practices. If this is the case, however, the victim will have the opportunity to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

Product Liability
Manufacturers can often be held legally responsible when their products cause injury to the consumer. If your injury was the result of inherent design flaws, manufacturing defects or a lack of sufficient warning or labeling, we may be able to help you sue the company for monetary damages.

Wrongful Death
If your loved one's fatal accident was caused by another person's careless or reckless actions, an attorney from our team may be able to help you claim compensation so that you are not forced to bear the financial burden of your tragic loss.

Swimming Pool Accidents
More than ten people die in drowning accidents every day in the U.S. What makes these particular accidents so devastating, however, is that most of them involve small children between the ages of one and fourteen.

Types of Injuries
Anyone who has been injured through the wrongful actions of another person deserves to be compensated, but this is particularly true in the case of those who have suffered life-changing catastrophic injuries. If you have suffered a head injury, neck and back injuries or a spinal cord injury, we want to help you claim damages for your losses.

Business Litigation
In addition to representing accident victims and their families, the attorneys of Morris, Cary, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC also provide experienced representation in business litigation matters such as contract negotiation and disputes.

Social Security Disability
If you suffer from an injury or illness which makes it impossible for you to work and which is expected to last for a year or to result in death, you are most likely qualified to claim benefits through Social Security Disability. More than a million SSD claims are denied every year, and many are not approved until some point in the appeals process.

How much is your case worth?

The goal of a personal injury or wrongful death claim is to provide the plaintiff with sufficient compensation to offset the significant economic impact of the accident. Your settlement or verdict should be large enough to restore you as nearly as possible to your pre-accident condition. This can include compensation for all of your medical expenses for hospitalization, surgery and rehabilitative care, as well as for your lost income and reduced earning power.

You can also claim damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of ability to enjoy life. In the event that you are filing a claim for workers' compensation or Social Security Disability, the amount you could receive will be determined according to the guidelines of those programs. For example, workers' comp generally pays at a rate of two-thirds of the beneficiary's normal wages.
