Personal Injury Lawyers in Birmingham

80 personal injury attorneys practise in Birmingham, the largest injury bar in Alabama. Cases are filed in the Jefferson County Circuit Court, part of the state's Tenth Judicial Circuit, with federal matters going to the Northern District of Alabama.

One feature of Alabama law makes the choice of attorney unusually important here. Alabama is one of a small handful of states that still applies contributory negligence: if the defence persuades a jury that you were even slightly at fault, recovery can be barred entirely. Cases that would simply be discounted elsewhere are fought over that point in Birmingham.

Almost every firm listed works on contingency. Ask what percentage applies, whether it changes once suit is filed, and how the firm handles the fault question in your specific facts.

Lawyers listed in Birmingham also cover Products Liability (44), Business Law (31) and DUI & DWI (22). The same practice elsewhere in Alabama: Huntsville (23), Montgomery (15) and Tuscaloosa (8). Across Alabama the directory lists 145 attorneys in this practice; Birmingham is 1st by their number among 7 cities.
