What We Do for Residents in Fairhope AL
We tailor our work to your injuries and the road where they happened.
- Open claims with the at‑fault driver’s carrier and evaluate any UM/UIM that may apply.
- Secure police reports, EMS run sheets, 911 audio when available, scene photos, and nearby business footage.
- Canvas likely has camera spots along US-98, AL-181, AL-104, Scenic 98, and near the Thomas Hospital corridors.
- Analyze speed, sightlines, signal timing, and distraction evidence. Retrieve airbag control module data when relevant.
- Coordinate medical records and billing, protect your health benefits, and address liens promptly.
- Prepare you for recorded statements so your account is clear and consistent.
Example from Montrose: A left‑turn collision at Scenic 98 and Fairhope Avenue sends a driver to urgent care with neck pain. We pull storefront video, align statements with the light cycle, and compare phone records to the timeline. The result is a strong liability picture that supports both medical recovery and financial relief.

Car Accident FAQs: Fairhope AL
Who pays after a crash?
Coverage depends on fault, policy limits, and UM/UIM. We verify all applicable policies and preserve proof so your claim does not stall. For local law enforcement resources or non‑emergency assistance, see the City of Fairhope Police Department.
How do I make appointments if my car is out of commission?
Keep discharge papers and receipts, and avoid posting about the crash. For roadwork affecting travel around Fairhope, check ALDOT Baldwin County road projects before you head out.
What is the deadline to file a car accident claim in Alabama?
Alabama’s general limit for personal injury claims is often two years from the crash date. Some notice rules can be shorter. The safest step is to contact a lawyer quickly so that evidence is preserved and scheduling stays on track while you focus on recovery.
I was rear‑ended on Greeno Road near Eastern Shore Village Center. What should I do first?
Seek medical care, photograph the scene and vehicles if safe, and gather witness names. Save receipts and discharge instructions. Call us so we can secure nearby camera footage and open claims with the correct carriers.
The other driver left the scene on Scenic 98. What now?
We act fast to canvass businesses and residences, locate cameras, and review vehicle damage patterns. We also explore uninsured motorist coverage and request any available 911 audio. Quick action increases the likelihood that footage and witnesses can be identified.
The insurer wants a recorded statement. Should I give one?
You may need to provide a statement, but proper preparation is essential. We review the facts with you first and join the call to ensure your account is accurate and complete. We confirm the scope so unrelated questions do not derail your claim.
Will I have to go to court?
Many cases resolve without a trial. If litigation is necessary, we prepare you for each step and keep you informed about the schedule. When testimony is required, we practice key points together so you feel ready and supported.
