The effects of traumatic personal injuries are not just felt by the victim,  they are game changers in the victim's entire world.  Be it work, relationships, or family, the injuries caused by a traumatic brain injury, debilitating physical injury, or the lingering aftereffects of such trauma can and usually are  permanent.  The right team of physicians, care, and attention to detail by lawyers on your side will ensure that you and your family are given the appropriate level of attention, representation, professionalism, and justice you  deserve. You and your family deserve a qualified Personal Injury Lawer.

Industrial and Construction Site accidents can occur for numerous reasons.  Lack of safety, dangerous equipment,  intoxicated co-workers, failure of oversight, or just happenstance.  Who is responsible is oftentimes  a round-robin of finger pointing leaving the injured worker out in the cold.  Knowing who is responsible and investigating the facts in a timely fashion is key to the success of your case.   If you or a loved one has been injured on a construction site, it is imperative you take action to protect your rights immediately.  Call us to discuss your case.   

  Injury on the job is an unfortunate, but all to common fact of life.  Whether due to the fault of another, or no one's fault at all, injured workers are often due benefits they are not aware of and never informed of by the employer.  Don't be left in the dark about your rights under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act if you are injured on the job.   REPORT all Injuries, no matter how small.  Call us to discuss your potential claim  and find out what to do to protect your rights.  

Most car accidents occur within 3 miles of the home. The most common causes are distractions, fatigue, environmental conditions and medical or emotional impairment.  Nearly 1.3 million people die in car accidents each year.   Know what to do if you or a loved one are in a car accident.   Time is of the essence to protect your rights after a wreck.    

• Call the local police and file an incident report.  
• ID any witnesses  to the wreck and get their contact information. 
• Take photos of the vehicles and wreck scene if possible.  

Call us.  We will help guide you to a solution to get you the compensation you deserve. 

Alabama requires minimum car insurance  limits.  The bodily injury minimums are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Drivers are required to carry $25,000 in property damage insurance. These are bare minimums and may not be enough after a wreck with an "at-fault" driver who is underinsured, or has no insurance at all to adequately compensate you  or your family for your injuries and damages.    Oftentimes you may have  coverage that you  were not aware of, which may be available in the event of a hit and run event.   Know your rights in such  situations. 

Our children are often entrusted to the care and custody of hired business in the form of Daycares and nighttime care centers.  These institutions are strictly regulated by the State of Alabama.  However,  oftentimes they are understaffed, poorly managed and children left alone, or poorly supervised, or sometime worse.  The results are inexplicable injuries and sometimes, physical or sexual abuse at the hands of facility employees  or other children.  These instances leave parents heartbroken, children suffering, and are a particular call to action for Mr. Carter to protect those most vulnerable and in need of protection.   If you or a loved one have been the victim of such a facility please call us to discuss your options.  

 You paid the premium for years, had confidence you were covered, then the unexpected happens.  A casualty loss causes a claim on a homeowner's policy, business interruption claim, fire loss, or tort. When coverage is delayed or flat denied, it could cause you or your business potentially devastating losses.  If you or your business has been denied for lack of coverage, extent of coverage, or a dispute regarding the insurable interest on the claim, contact us for a free consultation to consider your options. 

 Thousands of people are injured each year as the result of defective and dangerous products.  Whether the product simply fails; was designed improperly or failed to warn of the dangers involved with its intended use, or a combination of the three, the responsible manufacturer and retailer are to be held accountable.  The ever-changing laws surrounding products liability claims and causes of action are complex.   Call us to discuss any injury claim you feel are the result of defective or dangerous product. 

 When a business disagreement becomes a dispute, there are  three outcomes: win. lose, or a  negotiated compromise.  One or both parties may look to the courts or arbitration to settle the matter.    Be ready, and have a plan if your deal goes bad.   Know your options.   Mr. Carter has handled numerous business disputes and recovered six and seven figure settlements and judgments on behalf of his clients in business tort and breach of contract claims.  Call to discuss your needs, and set up a free, no obligation consultation.
