When a serious accident happens, your life can change in a split second. From mounting medical bills to the stress of missing work, you shouldn’t have to navigate the aftermath alone.

At Heatherly Law Firm, LLC, we believe in demanding maximum compensation for your case while providing the personalized attention you deserve.

THE TRIAL LAWYER ADVANTAGE

THE TRIAL LAWYER ADVANTAGE

Many law firms are “settlement mills” that avoid the courtroom at all costs. As an experienced trial lawyer who has handled some of the most high-profile cases in Alabama, I prepare every case as if it is going before a jury.

Insurance companies know which lawyers will go the distance. When you have 18 years of trial experience on your side, it gives you the leverage needed to secure a fair settlement – or a winning verdict.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Alabama?

At Heatherly Law Firm, LLC, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing out of pocket. We only receive a fee if we successfully recover money for you.

What is the Statute of Limitations for an injury claim in Alabama?

Generally, you have two (2) years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, if your claim is against a city (like Huntsville or Decatur), you may only have six (6) months to file a formal notice of claim. Don't wait — missing these deadlines will end your case forever.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Alabama follows a strict rule called Contributory Negligence. If you are found to be even 1% at fault, the insurance company may try to deny your claim entirely. This is why having an 18-year veteran lawyer is vital to prove the other party was 100% responsible.

Do I have to come to Huntsville for a consultation?

While my office is in Huntsville, I live in Hartselle and travel throughout the Tennessee Valley. If your injuries make it difficult to travel, I can meet you at your home or the hospital.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR RECOVERY

You didn’t ask to be injured. You didn’t ask for medical bills, lost wages, or the stress of fighting insurance companies. But you do get to choose who fights for you.

Don’t let an insurance adjuster determine the value of your recovery. Partner with a trial lawyer who knows how to win.
