Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Claims We Handle
With more than 25 years of combined legal experience, the attorneys at Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana know that insurance companies often make low settlement offers that don’t come close to the actual value of a claim. We’re ready to negotiate on your behalf to help you get maximum compensation for your injury-related expenses. If you or someone you love was injured in a motor vehicle accident, contact us today for a free case review — we’re here to help.
Not all motor vehicle accidents are the same. That’s why we provide individual attention to every one of our clients, regardless of the circumstances of their accidents.
AT CALDWELL WENZEL & ASTHANA, WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES NECESSARY TO PURSUE A VARIETY OF MOTOR VEHICLE INJURY CLAIMS, INCLUDING:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Personal injury
- Property damage

Negligence is never acceptable, and those liable for your harm should face accountability. Alabama civil law allows victims to pursue civil justice in cases involving negligence.
The careless actions of another driver or a manufacturer demand attention. You may prevent another tragic accident by pursuing litigation against all responsible parties.
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS CAN BE TRAUMATIC AND LIFE-CHANGING. YOU COULD BE FACING SERIOUS INJURIES, EXPENSIVE MEDICAL BILLS AND UNEXPECTED TIME AWAY FROM WORK. GET HELP FROM CALDWELL WENZEL & ASTHANA Today.
At Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana, we understand that it’s a difficult time after a crash. If your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence, our dedicated legal team is ready to help you get the financial compensation you deserve.
Alabama Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
A sudden collision with a dangerous driver can leave you with multiple injuries. Extensive injuries can prevent you from returning to work for days, months, or perhaps forever.
Accident victims may experience:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Neck and back injuries.
These are just a few examples of the injuries that can happen in a motor vehicle crash. Motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians face additional danger due to their limited protection. Road rash and other painful injuries can occur as they strike an unforgiving road surface or sidewalk.
Medical transport alone, especially that of an air ambulance, can cost thousands. Add to this the hospital and doctor’s fees, and the costs quickly escalate.
Some injuries require multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, therapies and prescription medications. These costs can extend throughout a patient’s lifetime.
No one should pay out of pocket for medical costs that result from another person’s negligence. While compensation is never guaranteed, it is worth fighting for with help from an Alabama lawyer.
Wrongful Death in Alabama
Losing someone to a drunk or distracted driver is devastating. A responsible driver uses care while sharing the road with others; a negligent driver does not.
The death of your loved one is a permanent loss that no amount of compensation can change. However, a successful legal case may ease the financial stress your loss creates.
A wrongful death case in Alabama typically involves fighting for compensation for damages such as:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Medical expenses relating to lifesaving attempts
- Lost wages and loss of potential future income
- Loss of inheritance for the decedent’s children
- Loss of companionship.
Wrongful death cases are emotional for grieving families. But by placing your case in our hands, you can rest easier knowing that your lawyer will protect your best interests.
Your grief is not the time to negotiate with an insurance company alone. They are simply too skilled at what they do, and it’s difficult to negotiate a fair settlement without an attorney.
If you lost a close loved one due to a dangerous driver, we want to help you. Our team is caring and compassionate. Your wrongful death attorney will fight for justice for your loved one and compensation for your damages.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Alabama Motor Vehicle Accidents
An Alabama motor vehicle accident lawyer answers frequently asked questions:
Why Do I Need a Vehicle Injury Attorney?
To have a successful claim, you want to hire the most experienced and skilled Alabama vehicle injury attorney you can find. You don’t want an attorney who specializes in taxes or real estate. Instead, you want a personal injury attorney who knows the ins and outs of product liability, vehicle injury, and transportation industry laws. Our attorneys have over 25 years of experience holding negligent parties accountable, including insurance companies, vehicle manufacturers, and trucking companies.
How Do I Choose an Alabama Vehicle Injury Lawyer?
Spend some time on law firm websites and review attorneys’ bios to get to know the people. Read reviews posted by other clients and find out whether the firm has exceptional client service or is slow to return phone calls. Check out the jury verdicts and settlements the firm has achieved for other clients. As you do this, you’ll understand how committed each firm is to its clients.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
You have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the Alabama statute of limitations expires before you file your case, you are generally out of legal options for pursuing compensation.
How Much Does a Vehicle Injury Attorney Cost?
Here’s the great news – you don’t need any money upfront to hire a vehicle injury lawyer in Alabama. We work on contingency, meaning we don’t get paid until you get paid. Our fees and expenses are provided for out of the financial award or settlement at the end of the process. So if for some reason your claim is not successful, then you owe us nothing.
How Long Does It Take to Pursue a Claim?
Every case is different, and the length of time a case requires depends on a variety of factors, such as the number of vehicles involved, the severity of injuries, the amount of evidence and number of witnesses, and whether you accept a financial settlement or go to trial. A skilled Alabama motor vehicle injury lawyer can answer your questions about the timing of your case in greater detail during a one-on-one conversation.
A motor vehicle accident is a traumatic event. If you or a loved one suffered severe harm from a negligent driver or car manufacturer, get help with your civil case today.
