Foley Personal Injury Lawyers

If you’ve been involved in a serious accident, you understand the shock, trauma, and devastation that comes with suffering major injuries. Coping with the mental and physical effects of an accident is challenging enough, but when you’re also trying to pay medical bills and handle the challenges that come with being unable to work, it can all seem unbearable. The Foley personal injury lawyers at Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana are here to help.

If you were not the one responsible for your accident, you may be able to recover compensation. Contrary to what some may think, seeking financial compensation isn’t about money — it’s about holding negligent people accountable and securing the resources you need to get your life back.

Suffering a life-altering injury can be isolating, but you’re not alone. The right personal injury lawyer may be able to help you get the support you need.

Types of Cases We Handle

You may need an Alabama personal injury lawyer for nearly any kind of major injury. These are some of the types of cases we handle.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are, unfortunately, very common. They also can lead to devastating injuries, especially if high speeds are involved.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents might seem similar to car accidents at first. However, because of the relationship between truckers, trucking companies, truck manufacturers, and truck maintenance companies, determining liability in these cases can be a challenge. Our team can identify all liable parties in an effort to secure the compensation you deserve.

Motorcycle Accidents

Like truck accidents, motorcycle accidents come with unique challenges. Many people (and even many insurance companies) view all motorcyclists as reckless, which may make obtaining compensation difficult.

Pedestrian and Bicyclist Accidents

Cars are supposed to share the road. Unfortunately, some negligent drivers fail to see pedestrians and bicyclists. Because someone who isn’t in a car is at a significant disadvantage, the injuries you suffer in a bicycle or pedestrian accident may be catastrophic.

Product Liability

Product designers and manufacturers have a legal and ethical obligation to make their products safe. If they fail to meet that obligation and you sustain harm as a result, we’re ready to hold them accountable.

Premises Liability (Slip and Fall Cases)

If you visit a public business or are invited onto private property, you have a reasonable expectation that the property owner will keep the area safe. If you have been hurt because of hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, our slip and fall lawyers may be able to help.

Nursing Home Abuse

If your elderly loved one is in a nursing home, you trust that those who run the facility will keep them safe. However, even seemingly reputable facilities are sometimes charged with abuse and neglect. Our Foley personal injury lawyers are prepared to seek justice for your loved ones who have experienced harm.

Wrongful Death

Have you lost a loved one as a direct result of another person’s negligence? Your loved one may not be here to hold the responsible party accountable, but you can be their voice. If you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit, the court may award punitive damages which you can use to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, and burial costs.

Foley Residents and Injury Rates

Are You at Risk?

Many of our clients come to us after suffering injuries in car accidents. Although you can be injured in a car accident anywhere, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) 2022 Crash Facts — the most recent published data available — shows that Baldwin County is among the top six counties (out of Alabama’s 67 total counties) for the number of traffic fatalities:

• Jefferson County: 96
• Mobile County: 75
• Montgomery County:  69
• Tuscaloosa County: 47
• Madison County: 38

Baldwin was also in the top six counties for non-intersection crashes and the top five counties for crashes at intersections.

FAQ

Many of our clients come to us with questions. These are some of the ones we most often hear.

How soon after my accident should I contact an attorney?

Receiving prompt medical care is most important, but once you have been medically stabilized, do your best to contact us as soon as possible. Building a strong personal injury case takes time, and the more time you can give us, the better.

How much compensation can I recover?

Without sitting down with you and discussing your case, we cannot estimate what your case may be worth. Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, the degree of negligence of the other person, your medical costs, and other factors.

How much does it cost to work with you?

You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your first consultation is free, and if we take your case, you agree to pay us a portion of any compensation you receive.

Will I have to go to court?

Probably not. The vast majority of personal injury cases can be settled without having to set foot in a courtroom. However, if we can’t reach a settlement in your case, we are prepared to take it to court.

We understand that you’re likely going through one of the most difficult times of your life. Our team is here to fight for your right to compensation, but we’re also here to support you on your journey.

Why Choose Us?

We Aren’t Afraid to Fight for You

Many personal injury attorneys in Foley avoid litigation at all costs. Insurance companies know this, and that often means they can settle a case for far less than it’s worth. The Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana team thrives in the midst of high-stakes litigation. Insurance companies understand that if they don’t agree to a fair settlement, we’re prepared to go to trial — and we’re ready to win.

Our team has more than 25 years of combined experience, and we’re ready to put that experience to work for you. Our case results speak for themselves. We believe a successful personal injury case is about more than just evidence. It’s about understanding and supporting each client as a person.
