What Compensation Can You Recover After a Personal Injury in Mobile?
A fair settlement in a personal injury case should account for both the financial impacts of the abuse as well as the emotional and physical toll. Our Mobile personal injury attorneys will consult with medical and financial experts to ensure that we are advocating for compensation for the full scope of your losses.
You may be able to recover compensation for:
Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate for any financial losses that are related to the abuse you or a loved one experienced. These can include:
- Medical expenses, including expected future medical care needs related to the injury.
- Lost wages or lost benefits.
- Reduced earning capacity.
- Relocation expenses, if a loved one needs to be moved from their current living facility.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate for the more personal losses that occur because of an injury. They can include:
- Pain and suffering.
- Emotional distress and mental trauma.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Reduced quality of life.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are only available in cases of gross negligence or malice. In wrongful death cases in Alabama, these are the only type of damages that can be recovered.

Alabama Laws That Can Affect Your Mobile Personal Injury Case
There are a few important personal injury laws to pay attention to in Mobile, AL. These include the statute of limitations and those involving medical malpractice for some specific cases of nursing home neglect.
Statute of Limitations
Under Alabama Code § 6-2-38, there is typically a two–year deadline for filing a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit.
If your loved one’s nursing home neglect case is categorized as medical malpractice, Alabama’s Medical Liability Act (Ala. Code § 6-5-482) may apply instead, which also generally allows two years but includes a discovery rule and other specific requirements.
In some specific cases, the deadline may be shorter. Talk to your attorney about the deadline for your case, and get started as soon as possible.
Standard of Care for Medical Malpractice
When nursing home neglect is categorized as a medical malpractice case, your lawyer will need to prove that the standard of care was breached by the nursing home itself. This typically requires expert testimony from a medical professional.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Mobile, AL
Below are some short answers to common questions we hear from our clients:
What Is the Cost of a Personal Injury Lawyer?
We work on contingency fees. There are no upfront costs for retaining our legal representation. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you, and our fees will come out of your settlement or court award.
Should I Speak With the Nursing Home or its Insurance Company Before Contacting an Attorney?
You should avoid giving any statements to the nursing home, its staff, or its insurance representatives until you’ve spoken with your attorney. Facilities and their insurers may try to minimize their liability, and anything you say early on could be used against your family’s claim. If you’re contacted by the facility or its insurer, direct them to speak with your lawyer instead.
What If the Liable Party or Their Insurance Company Gives Me a Lowball Offer?
You are never required to accept a settlement offer. In fact, many insurers will offer a quick settlement that is far less compensation than you deserve. Your attorney will offer advice on any offers you may receive.
