One thing about Attorneys Ken Riley and Calle Mendenhall: They'll fight for you like you're family. Our client was stopped at a red light when he was struck by a college student. The insurance company initially offered $25,000 prior to trial, which was rejected. He had a prior neck condition and the defendant strongly challenged the alleged new pain in his neck. This was highly contested, but our attorneys came through for our client. We fought to secure a $400,000 verdict for him in Tuscaloosa County yesterday. He is a great person and the jury spoke the truth.

Witnesses are valuable resources in an injury claim. They can give statements to law enforcement and the insurance company about what they remember and describe the events leading up to the collision. You should ask specific questions when speaking to witnesses, such as: 1️⃣Can you tell me what happened? – This question allows the witness to explain the sequence of events based on their memories. It eliminates confusion about the details since you’re not asking a pointed question that steers them in a specific direction. 2️⃣Where were you when the accident occurred? – Asking witnesses where they were during the crash is crucial. They likely had good visibility if they were right by the accident scene. However, if they were standing far away, something might have obstructed their view. 3️⃣Where were you going when you noticed there was a crash? – You can determine the witness’s direction of travel by asking where they were going. They were probably in a rush and distracted if they were speeding to get to work. Getting a complete picture of an accident is more challenging if someone isn’t sitting on a patio watching the scenery. 4️⃣Did you hear what the other driver said? – Asking witnesses whether they overheard the other motorist say something after the crash might uncover helpful information. Maybe they listened to the driver admit to running a red light or stop sign. 5️⃣Can I have your name and number, please? – Get the names and phone numbers of every witness you talk to if they provide details beneficial to your case. Ask if they will stay at the scene to talk to the officer. You should also ask whether they’re willing to provide a statement to the insurance company or testify on the stand if your case goes to trial.
