What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Madison Cost?
Most personal injury lawyers in Alabama work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if you win your case, usually taking 33 to 40 percent of the settlement or award. Some lawyers charge a lower percentage if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed. You may also need to pay for court costs, expert fees, and medical records. Always ask about fees and costs before signing a retainer agreement. This is general information and not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Alabama?
In Alabama, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue. Some cases, like claims against government entities, have shorter deadlines.
How does Alabama contributory negligence law affect my case?
Alabama is one of the few states that uses pure contributory negligence. This means if you are found even slightly at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any compensation. A lawyer can help gather evidence to show you were not at fault.
What types of cases do personal injury lawyers in Madison handle?
Personal injury lawyers in Madison handle car accidents, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death claims. They also handle cases involving dog bites and workplace injuries not covered by workers compensation.
