In the wake of an Uber accident, victims can be left with catastrophic consequences such as paralysis or loss of limb function. These severe injuries are life-altering and can drastically alter a survivor's outlook on life, work, and personal relationships. As a well-respected personal injury lawyer in Alabama, Stephen Thompson understands the magnitude of such outcomes and is here to help you through the legal aspects of such tragedies.
Paralysis, the loss of the ability to move and sometimes feel parts of the body, is often caused by damage to the spinal cord. It can be localized or generalized, temporary or permanent. For Uber accident victims, the most common type of paralysis is paraplegia, which affects an individual’s ability to move the lower parts of the body.
Loss of limb function may occur when an accident results in a severe injury to a limb, sometimes necessitating amputation. It can also result from nerve damage that significantly impacts a victim's ability to use a limb effectively.
Coming to terms with these severe injuries can be a long, expensive process, encompassing a range of healthcare needs from hospitalization and surgery to physical therapy, prosthetics, and home care. The economic burden quite frequently goes beyond medical expenses, affecting the victim's ability to work and earn a living.
In Alabama, like elsewhere in the United States, people who sustain severe injuries due to someone else's negligence or reckless behavior have the right to seek compensation. As an experienced Alabama personal injury attorney specializing in Uber accident injuries, Stephen Thompson is attuned to the legal strategies that can make a critical difference in securing the financial restitution you rightfully deserve.
In Alabama, the doctrine of contributory negligence applies. This means if you are even 1% at fault for an Uber accident, you may be barred from receiving any compensation. This often leads insurance companies to unfairly try to place blame on the driver.
Stephen Thompson’s expertise and understanding of Alabama’s specific laws can be instrumental. His aim is not just to represent your case but understand your physical, emotional, and financial trials and ensure the liable party is held accountable, helping you gain the compensation necessary for your recovery journey.
