Who Can Be Sued After an Alabama Truck Accident? All 9 Potentially Liable Parties

After an Alabama truck accident, the driver is almost never the only party who owes you money, and often isn’t even the most important one.

Do I Need a Lawyer If I Was a Drunk Driving Accident Victim in Birmingham?

Being hit by an impaired motorist can leave you dealing with two different processes. Police and prosecutors may investigate a possible crime, while you face medical expenses, missed work, vehicle damage, and an insurance claim.

Steps You Should Take After Getting into an Accident with an Uber Driver in Birmingham

A rideshare collision can quickly become complicated. Unlike a typical two-car wreck, an accident with an Uber driver may involve the motorist’s personal policy, coverage maintained for rideshare activity, and another vehicle’s insurer.

Who Gets the Money in an Alabama Wrongful Death Settlement?

Alabama Wrongful Death Distribution: At a Glance The will does not control: proceeds pass under the intestacy statute, even if a will exists Outside the estate: the money goes to heirs directly, beyond the reach of the deceased’s debts and creditors Fixed statutory shares: the spouse and children split by formula, not by negotiation Filing ≠ a bigger share:...

These lawyers took on my case not knowing all the details but investigated to uncover the truth. They were very thorough and kept me informed as much as possible. They helped me get justice for my son in a case, nobody thought I could win. These guys are the best and most professional lawyers I’ve ever met. And without them and their team my family and I never would’ve got the settlement that I got. Thanks guys for a job well done!!!!! I will forever be grateful for all the hard work y’all done.

James Foster is smart, energetic and very compassionate towards his clients. Truth and justice are highly important to him. He is the first attorney to ever earn my trust and respect, which wasn’t an easy thing to do. My life is in his hands, yet I’m fine with that, because I honestly feel that if Mr. Foster can’t get justice for me in my case, no one can, as it's not humanly possible for any attorney to work harder for his clients than he does.

I and eighteen other families were involved in a land dispute with a multi-national company twenty years ago. A Lawyer made a presentation to us saying it would cost well into six figures and we could lose. After much prayer, We, on two occasions, contacted a well-known law firm out of Montgomery, Alabama to represent us. They chose not to take our case but recommended Fob James in Birmingham saying there are three things about him which are: Number one: He is a Christian. Number two: He will not take your case unless he thinks you are right. Number three: If he takes your case, he will bite in like a Bull-dog and will not let go until you get the answer. We found these three things to be true, know our prayers were answered, as Fob negotiated on our behalf without having to go to court and eighteen families received fair market value for our homes and property. I highly recommend the Fob James Law Firm.

Before I met my Attorney Mr. Foster I was in bad shape mentally, physically and emotionally because of my car accident I had come to a point in my life that I no longer wanted to continue with life because of the bills piling up and I had no income. That’s when Mr. Foster stepped in and become more than simply my Attorney — he actually became a person I can now call my friend because he showed me that he cared. I wasn’t just a client to him, Mr. Foster literally saved my life. And for that I thank God for him. He fought for to get me the most money possible as if he was fighting for a member of his own family.
- L. Morris
Mr. Foster was God-sent. He always kept me informed, very reassuring and included me in making the best decisions for my case.

As a client I have gotten the best service that I could ask for from this firm . . .. I’m very proud to say that I have the best attorney in Atlanta.

It's a comfort when you find a personable, hardworking, and knowledgeable lawyer to represent you when dealing with the aftermath of an auto accident. The attorneys at Fob James Law Firm took the time to explain the process of dealing with the insurance companies and answered all my (many) questions with patience. They are friendly and approachable people, and were available at every stage of the legal process from start to finish. I would not hesitate to consult with Fob James Law Firm in the future and I give them my highest recommendation.

When one faces problems and must make difficult decisions, it is very difficult to find a law firm that helps and sees what is best for the client. I had the good fortune to meet Fob James, IV at the firm. With patience, time and personal effort, Fob took my car accident case as if I were part of the family, and not just another stranger in need of legal services. He fought for my case that lasted more than 4 years, without giving up for a moment. He followed my case as if it was personal to him. Fob made me feel safe. And of course, the great work and effort paid off. We won the case at trial! Thank you Fob for your professional work and friendship.

Attorney Fob James did a great job representing me in my bodily injury claim against a municipality. Attorney James walked me thru the process and kept me informed every step of the way. He also thought of ways to add value to my case. Above all Attorney James was always available and responsive to my calls, even on nights and weekends.
- York Hicks
Fob James Law Firm has been a blessing. From the first time I called the attorneys were kind and always listened. They kept me informed at all times. I could not ask for better attorneys or people. Words do not describe how well my case was handled by Fob James Law Firm.

Knowledge with wisdom. Fob James IV has a gift for applying knowledge with wisdom. When I needed someone to act on my behalf, Fob represented me fiercely, but with a wise approach, and was able to reach a positive resolution of my problem. He communicated very well with me and for me. I would highly recommend Fob James IV.

I was attacked by a dog and had a chunk of flesh bitten off. No one would take my case, so I called Fob as a last resort. Fob took the insurance company to court and got me policy limits. Fob made me feel important rather than a number. He truly cares about his clients. I can't speak highly enough of Fob James Law Firm.
- Susan P
We appreciate all you have done for us to recover our money. I'm sure all the other victims feel the same. Thank you for keeping us informed of the progress in the case. This has been a trip I hope no one else has to go on! Thank you.
