Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing upfront. HAR Legal works on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if you win. Our fee comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict — so there is zero financial risk to you for hiring us. 

In most cases, Alabama's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. There are exceptions — some cases have shorter deadlines, and wrongful death claims have their own rules. Do not wait. Call us for a free case evaluation as soon as possible. 

Every case is different. Compensation in a personal injury claim can include: medical bills (past and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. After reviewing your case, our attorneys can give you an honest estimate of its value. 

Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule — one of the strictest in the country. If you are found to be even partially at fault, it can affect your ability to recover. This is exactly why you need an experienced Alabama attorney on your side: we fight to keep fault where it belongs. 

Simple cases can settle in a few months. Complex cases involving serious injuries, multiple parties, or disputed liability can take multiple years. We will keep you informed every step of the way and never pressure you into a settlement that does not serve your best interests. 

A police report is helpful but not always required. We can help gather the evidence needed to build your case even if no formal report was filed. Contact us as soon as possible after any accident. 

Absolutely. Trucking companies have legal teams working immediately after an accident to protect themselves. You deserve the same. HAR Legal has experience going up against large carriers and their insurers — and winning.
