What are the steps in an Alabama personal injury case?
While you are receiving medical treatment and recovering from your injuries, our law firm goes to work gathering evidence and investigating your case. Once your demand package is put together, we can demand the most from the insurance company. If you have never worked with an injury law firm before, here is a quick outline of the process we follow with new clients:
1. Consultation
After your accident you will consult with an experienced Alabama personal injury attorney to discuss how your injury occurred. You will explain what injuries you suffered, your medical expenses so far and how much time you have missed at work attending to the injury. At Mezrano, this consultation is free, and you are under no obligation to hire us after this evaluation of your case.
2. Investigation
After you have hired us, we initiate an investigation of the accident or incident that caused your injury. Your lawyer will contact witnesses, medical experts, accident reconstruction experts and other specialists to gather evidence about the accident, determine who is at fault in causing the incident that caused your injuries.
3. Preparation of the demand package
With all the evidence of how the incident was a result of negligence and how it caused your injury, your lawyer will develop a demand letter which gets delivered to the opposing side. The demand package includes an outline of your damages, which includes your medical expenses, lost wages, any permanent injuries, future medical costs, your pain and suffering and emotional distress from the trauma of the incident.
4. Mediation
A lawsuit is often filed when settlement negotiations break down and neither party is satisfied with the results. But a mediator can step in before the lawsuit is file to facilitate the process of both sides coming up with their own solutions to whatever they disagree on. A mediator is a neutral third party who can be brought in to work with both sides to give them the opportunity to develop an equitable solution. Mediation is an effective path to settlement without the time and expense of a lawsuit.
5. Filing a personal injury lawsuit
Most personal injury cases are settled before they reach the trial stage, but if settlement negotiation and mediation has failed, filing a lawsuit is your only remaining option. Our Alabama personal injury lawyers have litigation experience, and we will take your case to court if that is what is required to recover the compensation you require.
6. Discovery
Before the trial, both parties exchange information, which helps each party get an estimation of the strength of the other's case.
7. Trial
In a trial, both sides present their cases and a jury will evaluate the facts on each side, determine who is at fault, and award damages if appropriate. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the trial, you may appeal the case.

Can I afford an Alabama personal injury lawyer?
Yes, you can. Our entire team works on contingency. That means that our fee is contingent on winning your case. In other words, if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
If we take your case, we put up all the costs associated with your claim. Once you’ve won, your award will go into a trust fund. Any outstanding medical bills will be paid from that trust, and then we take our fee. Once that happens, you get a check for the rest of the award. Your injury award is tax-free, too, so the entirety of settlement or verdict is yours to keep.
