Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are some causes of auto accidents? Auto accidents have numerous causes. The most common is driver negligence. Drunk driving, speeding, reckless driving, violating a traffic law and driving distracted are all examples of driver negligence. Additional, less common, causes include weather, poor road conditions and defective auto parts.

What are injuries associated with auto accidents? An auto accident may cause a variety of different potential injuries to any party involved. Spinal cord injury, whiplash, head trauma, broken bones, and damage to internal organs are all possibilities in an auto accident, but the extent of these will vary depending on the particular collision.

Is my initial consultation free? Yes. When you call our firm, your initial consultation with Mobile auto accident lawyer Timothy A. Hughes is free, and confidential. There is absolutely no risk involved with discussing your case with an attorney at our office.

I don't have the money to pay an attorney. What should I do? Most attorneys who handle auto accident claims work on what is called a contingency fee basis, meaning they do not collect attorney fees unless they are successful in winning your case. This means that you pay no out of pocket fees, and the law firm's services will be paid for out of your settlement or jury award (based upon a previously agreed upon percentage).

Will I have to go to trial in civil court? The vast majority of auto accident claims are resolved outside of the courtroom. Both parties - the auto accident victim and the party being held accountable for causing the accident - most often come to an agreement and a settlement is then paid to the victim as compensation for physical and emotional injuries associated with the accident.
