Personal Injury FAQ

The legal process often leaves our clients with more questions than answers. At Guster Law Firm, LLC, we understand this can be a confusing time, and we wanted to lend some clarity. We’ve answered some of your most frequently asked questions about personal injury law below, and we’re available 24/7 to dive deeper and discuss your case.

  • Why should I hire a Birmingham personal injury lawyer?
    When you get into an accident, the at-fault party and insurance companies do not have your best interests at heart. Our attorney does. We can investigate your accident and help you build the strongest claim possible. Having a Birmingham personal injury lawyer can also save you time, as we will compile all relevant evidence and communicate directly with insurance adjusters and other parties. With our knowledge and experience, you may ultimately receive a higher settlement—and, if the other parties refuse to cooperate, we can take them to court. You should hire a Birmingham personal injury lawyer at Guster Law Firm, LLC because we will help you pursue maximum compensation.
  • How long do I have to file a claim?
    In Alabama, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to pursue compensation. If your claim is against a government municipality, the statute of limitations changes to six months. Alabama does recognize some exceptions to this two-year rule depending on the specifics of your case. For example, if an injury victim is under the age of 19 at the time of injury, they have two years from the date of their 19th birthday to file a claim. An injury attorney from our firm can let you know if you qualify to extend the statute of limitations in your case.
  • What should I do after suffering an injury?
    After suffering an injury, seek medical attention and gather as much information about your accident as possible. Take photos if you can and keep notes about the accident and your injury. If you speak to the police, stick to the facts, and avoid speculation. Write down the badge numbers of any responding officers and get a copy of the police report if you can. When you are ready to take legal action, schedule a free consultation with our firm.
  • How much is my injury case worth?
    Every personal injury case is different, and the value of your case will vary depending on the severity of your injury, your medical bills, and other factors. Once we know the details of your case, we may be able to come up with a rough estimate, but you should never trust an attorney who promises you a specific dollar amount.
  • What damages can I recover?
    Damages help you account for your losses. Economic damages address your measurable losses, like medical bills and time away from work. Non-economic damages compensate you for losses like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Some personal injury cases also result in punitive damages, which are designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from acting similarly in the future. Our lawyer can help you determine which damages are applicable to your case.
  • How long will my case take to resolve?
    The amount of time it takes to resolve your personal injury case will vary based on numerous factors, many of which are difficult to predict. Before you file, you need to have an accurate picture of how your injury has affected you, so many lawyers encourage you to wait until your condition has stabilized. This can be time-consuming, but it will help us make the right demands. Otherwise, the length of your case will depend on whether the at-fault party and their insurance company are cooperative and if your case can be resolved without a trial. In general, the more complex a case, the longer it will take to resolve. Guster Law Firm, LLC will be by your side through the entire process and help you understand what to expect, every step of the way.
  • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
    Most personal injury attorneys do not charge fees upfront. Instead, they use a contingent fee arrangement, in which your lawyer takes a certain percentage (often about 33%) of what you recover. This means you will not owe your lawyer any fees unless they handle your case successfully. Our attorney works on contingent fees, so you will not owe us anything unless you win your case.
