Frequently Asked Questions
About Injured.Support
What is Injured.Support?
Injured.Support is an independent personal injury case advocacy and investigation service serving injured individuals throughout Alabama. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. We personally investigate and evaluate personal injury cases and connect qualified individuals with battle-tested attorneys from our exclusive legal network — attorneys who have secured millions in verdicts and argued cases before the 11th Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
Is Injured.Support a law firm?
No. Injured.Support is not a law firm and we do not employ attorneys. We are an independent personal injury case investigation and attorney referral service. We do not provide legal advice and use of our services does not create an attorney-client relationship. Our role is to investigate your situation personally and connect you with the right legal representation for your specific case.
How is Injured.Support different from a typical referral service?
Most referral services take your name and pass it along to the next available attorney. At Injured.Support we personally investigate and evaluate your case before recommending any attorney. That extra step means stronger cases, better attorney matches, and better outcomes for our clients. We are highly selective about the cases we take because we fight for every single one of them.
Who is behind Injured.Support?
Injured.Support was founded by a professional personal injury case investigator with over 20 years of experience working alongside Alabama's top personal injury trial attorneys. Our founder has a background in forensic analysis, complex accident reconstruction, and high-stakes investigations including maritime accident analysis. Every case that comes through Injured.Support is personally reviewed by our founder — not a call center.
Case Evaluation & Process
How much does a case evaluation cost?
Your initial case evaluation with Injured.Support is completely free. There are no upfront fees and no financial risk to you. We work on a contingency basis through our attorney network meaning you pay nothing unless your case is won. If we cannot help you we will tell you honestly at no charge.
What happens during a free case evaluation?
During your free 20-minute case evaluation call our founder will personally listen to what happened, ask the right questions to fully understand your situation, give you an honest assessment of whether you may have a viable personal injury claim, and explain your options and next steps. This is not a sales call — it is a genuine conversation with someone who wants to help.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. You can book your free 20-minute case evaluation call directly at injured.support/book-now, submit a contact form on our website, or call us directly at 855-354-2621. We are available seven days a week and will respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible.
What information should I have ready for my case evaluation?
Come prepared with a brief summary of what happened, the date and location of the incident, any medical records or accident reports if available, information about any insurance claims that have been filed, and a list of any questions you want answered. Do not worry if you do not have everything — we will work with whatever you have.
How long does the process take?
Every case is different. Our initial case evaluation takes approximately 20 minutes. Following the evaluation if your case qualifies we will work to connect you with the right attorney as quickly as possible. The timeline for your actual legal case will depend on the specific facts, complexity, and circumstances of your situation.
What if I am not sure whether I have a case?
That is exactly what our free case evaluation is for. Many people are unsure whether their situation qualifies — and that uncertainty keeps them from getting the compensation they deserve. Contact us and we will give you an honest assessment at no cost and with no obligation. If we do not think you have a case we will tell you that too.
Personal Injury Law in Alabama
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Alabama?
Alabama's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However there are important exceptions depending on the type of case, the parties involved, and the specific circumstances of the injury. Do not wait — evidence disappears quickly and the sooner we begin investigating the stronger your case will be.
What is contributory negligence in Alabama?
Alabama is one of only a few states that follows a pure contributory negligence standard. This means that if you are found to be even one percent at fault for your own injury you may be completely barred from recovering any compensation. This makes having an experienced advocate investigating and building your case from day one critically important — which is exactly what Injured.Support provides.
What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on the facts of your case you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills and future medical expenses, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, permanent disability or disfigurement, and wrongful death damages. The best way to understand what your specific case may be worth is to contact us for a free evaluation.
What should I do immediately after an accident or injury?
Seek medical attention immediately even if you feel fine. Report the incident to the appropriate authority — law enforcement, your employer, or the property owner. Document everything including photographs, witness information, and medical records. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a legal advocate. Contact Injured.Support as soon as possible — time-sensitive evidence can disappear quickly.
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Almost never accept a first settlement offer without consulting a legal advocate. First settlement offers from insurance companies are typically far below the actual value of your claim. Insurance carriers have teams of adjusters and attorneys working to minimize what they pay you from the moment your claim is filed. Do not sign anything or accept any offer before speaking with someone who can evaluate the full value of your case.
What if the at-fault party does not have insurance?
You may still have legal options. Depending on your situation these may include an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance policy, a claim against other liable parties, or other avenues of recovery. We investigate every possible source of compensation to make sure you are not left without recourse.
Auto & Vehicle Accidents
What should I do at the scene of a car accident in Alabama?
Call 911 immediately and stay at the scene. Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Photograph the scene, all vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect the names and contact information of all witnesses. Get the other driver's insurance and contact information. Do not apologize or admit fault. Contact Injured.Support as soon as possible.
Can I file a claim if I was hit by an uninsured driver in Alabama?
Yes. If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver in Alabama you may be able to file a claim through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Additional legal options may also be available depending on the circumstances. We investigate every avenue of recovery to make sure you receive full compensation.
What if I was in an accident with an 18-wheeler?
Commercial truck accidents involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties — including the driver, trucking company, and equipment manufacturer — and very aggressive insurance carriers. These cases require specialized investigative and legal expertise. We work exclusively with attorneys who have extensive experience in commercial truck accident litigation and know how to go up against major carriers and win.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Alabama's contributory negligence standard means that if you are found even partially at fault you may be barred from recovering compensation. This is why it is critically important to have an experienced advocate investigating and building your case from day one. Do not assume you were at fault — contact us first and let us evaluate the facts.
Workplace & Construction Accidents
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury in Alabama?
In most cases Alabama Workers' Compensation law limits your ability to sue your employer directly. However if a third party — such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — contributed to your injury you may have a separate personal injury claim in addition to your Workers' Compensation claim. These third-party claims are often where the most significant compensation is recovered.
What is a third-party liability claim in a workplace accident?
A third-party liability claim is a personal injury lawsuit filed against a party other than your employer whose negligence contributed to your workplace injury. Common examples include a contractor who created an unsafe condition, an equipment manufacturer whose product failed, or a property owner who maintained a dangerous worksite. These claims can be pursued in addition to Workers' Compensation and often result in significantly higher compensation.
What if my employer retaliates against me for filing a Workers' Comp claim?
Employer retaliation for filing a Workers' Compensation claim is illegal in Alabama. If you have experienced retaliation — including termination, demotion, reduced hours, or hostile treatment — you may have additional legal claims beyond your Workers' Compensation case. Contact us immediately so we can connect you with the right legal representation.
Premises & Negligent Liability
What is premises liability in Alabama?
Premises liability holds property owners legally responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or negligent conditions. In Alabama property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors and customers. When they fail to meet that duty and someone is injured as a result they may be held legally liable for the victim's injuries and losses.
How do I prove a slip and fall case in Alabama?
To establish a slip and fall claim in Alabama you generally need to show that a dangerous condition existed on the property, that the owner knew or should have known about it, that they failed to fix it or warn visitors, and that the condition directly caused your injury. Evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, incident reports, and witness accounts are all critical. We investigate and document all of these elements from day one.
What if I was assaulted due to inadequate security on someone's property?
Negligent security cases hold property owners liable when inadequate security measures contribute to an assault, robbery, or other violent crime on their premises. If a property owner knew or should have known that their security was insufficient and you were harmed as a result, they may be fully liable for your injuries and losses. These cases require swift investigation — contact us immediately.
Medical & Elder Care Negligence
What are the signs of nursing home neglect or abuse?
Warning signs of nursing home neglect or abuse include unexplained weight loss, dehydration, bedsores or pressure ulcers, poor personal hygiene, unexplained bruising or injuries, sudden changes in behavior or mood, withdrawal from social activities, fearfulness around staff, and unsanitary living conditions. If you notice any of these signs in a loved one contact us immediately for a free confidential evaluation.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Alabama?
Alabama's statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence. There is also an overall statute of repose of four years from the date of the negligent act regardless of discovery. These deadlines are complex — contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if a loved one died due to medical negligence or nursing home abuse?
Surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim under Alabama law. Alabama's wrongful death statute allows the personal representative of the deceased's estate to pursue damages against the party whose negligence caused the death. These cases are deeply personal to us and we handle them with the utmost care, compassion, and determination to achieve justice.
Defective Products
What should I do if I was injured by a defective product?
Preserve the product exactly as it was at the time of the incident — do not throw it away, repair it, or return it. Photograph the product, your injuries, and the scene. Keep all receipts, packaging, and manuals. Seek medical attention immediately. Check the Consumer Product Safety Commission database for any related recalls. Contact Injured.Support right away — product liability cases are time-sensitive and complex.
Can I file a product liability claim if I was not using the product exactly as intended?
Potentially yes. Product liability law in Alabama recognizes that products must be reasonably safe for all foreseeable uses — including uses that may not be exactly as the manufacturer intended. We evaluate the specific circumstances of your injury and give you an honest assessment of your options at no cost.
Who can be held liable in a defective product case?
Multiple parties in the chain of distribution can potentially be held liable including the original manufacturer, component part manufacturers, the distributor, and the retailer who sold the product. We investigate the full chain of liability to identify every responsible party and maximize your potential recovery.

You will never be asked to pay any upfront legal fees. The specific fee arrangement will be outlined in the attorney-client agreement you sign directly with the attorney.
