Passenger in Automobile accident
Q.On October 16, 2002 I was a passenger of my sister's vehicle up in Alabama traveling to Birmingham from Tuscaloosa. An 18-wheeler merged over on us forcing us into a cement barrier at 70 mph. I went via ambulance to the UAB Trauma center and was admitted for severe neck sprain. I still suffer from pain and have another appointment with my orthopedic md. I was told I need an attorney but do I get one here in Florida or does the attorney have to be in the state the accident occured?
A.I recommend you retain a qualified litigation attorney experienced in personal injury and auto negligence law in Alabama where the incident occurred. I am a licensed Florida practitioner with offices in South Florida, but I know of several attorneys in Alabama that may be interested in your case. Did your sister suffer any injuries? Was the police contacted and an accident report prepared? Was the driver of the 18 wheeler cited for a traffic violation? I look forward to hearing from you.
