Accident Lawyers
Mobile, Alabama
Any type of vehicle can have an accident. Though car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are a common source of injury, you are also in danger every time you step on a bus, boat, or ATV. No matter what the vehicle, when an accident occurs, it can result in serious injuries. Sometimes, these injuries are the result of defective design, other times the fault of drivers or operators, either of the vehicle you were riding or another one. If you are hurt as a result of someone else's negligence, your life may be in turmoil as you face a combination of lost wages and high medical bills.
A personal injury lawsuit can help you put your life back in order by making those responsible pay for the injury they have caused you. To learn more, please contact Long & Waite, Attorneys at Law, P.C. in Mobile, Alabama today for a free consultation.
Types of Accidents We Handle
We handle many different kinds of vehicle accident lawsuits. Our main concern is making sure that people who are injured get the compensation they deserve. Some examples of lawsuits we handle are:
- ATV Rollover accidents
- Boating Accidents
- Bus Accidents
- Railroad Accidents
If you have been hurt in an accident and feel you have nowhere to turn, we invite you to call us. The consultation is free, and if we can help, we will.
ATV Rollover Accidents
Yamaha's Rhino ATV has become a popular vehicle for outdoorsmen who like the vehicle's ability to carry gear across rugged terrain. Unfortunately, the vehicle's design makes it susceptible to rollover accidents, and when it rolls serious injuries can result. Centrifugal force can throw passengers from the vehicle or pull arms and legs out even when riders are wearing seatbelts.
Boating Accidents
Alabama offers many opportunities for recreational boating on rivers, lakes, even the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, boating accidents occur whenever people get on the water. If you were injured in a boating accident while out on your boat, on a cruise or other commercial boat, or as part of your work, we can help you understand and pursue your rights.
Bus Accidents
When you get on a city or cross-country bus, you trust that the bus company has done its job in adequately screening and training the driver and in maintaining the bus. Sometimes, though, this is not the case, leading to dangerous or even deadly bus accidents. We are prepared to pursue all those responsible for the bus accident that caused your injury.
Railroad Accidents
Railroad employees are not covered under workers' compensation. Instead, lawsuits against the railroads are handled under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). This means that if you are a railroad worker hurt in a railroad accident, you have to prove that the road shared some fault in the accident before you can receive compensation. We have helped many railroad workers get the compensation they deserve, and we may be able to help you.
Our attorneys and staff believe it is a privilege to help people like you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence or misconduct. We represent clients from across Alabama, and are prepared to come visit you at your home or in the hospital if necessary. Initial consultations are free, and we only get paid if you do.
