Birmingham personal injury lawyers who fight for the full cost of harm
Injuries change everything
Serious injury cases deserve serious trial lawyers
An accident is not just a moment. It is the medical bills that stack up, the work you miss, the pain that lingers, and the stress that follows your family home. Maxwell Tillman represents injured people in Birmingham and across Alabama when a crash, fall, or unsafe product turns life sideways. We take on insurers and corporations that try to delay, deny, or downplay what you are living through.
You will not be treated like another claim number here. We listen first, investigate fast, and push hard for compensation that reflects the real impact of your injuries.
Common cases we handle
Accidents we see every day in Jefferson County
Our personal injury practice covers a wide range of cases, including:
Car accidents on I-65, I-20/59, Highway 280, and busy corridors through downtown Birmingham and Hoover
Slip and fall injuries in stores, apartment complexes, workplaces, and poorly maintained public spaces
Dog bites and animal attacks

Defective product injuries caused by unsafe design, manufacturing mistakes, or missing warnings

Each case type has its own rules and pressure points. We know them, and we build around them.
How we build injury cases
What strong claims are made of
Winning an injury case in Alabama depends on proving the other side’s fault clearly. Because contributory negligence can block recovery if the defense pins even a small share of blame on you, the details matter. We gather crash reports, medical records, video, witness accounts, and expert analysis when needed. Then we put it together in a way insurance companies cannot shrug off.
Our attorneys prepare cases the way trial lawyers do. That preparation often leads to a fair settlement. When it does not, we are ready to take the case into court.
faqs
Clear answers before you decide
How long do I have to file a claim in Alabama
Most injury cases must be filed within two years, and waiting makes evidence harder to find.
What if the insurance company calls me first
Their goal is to limit what they pay. We can speak for you and protect your statement.
How much is my case worth
Value depends on medical costs, missed income, future care needs, and how the injury affects your daily life. We assess this early and keep updating it as treatment continues.
Do you charge up front
Most injury matters are handled on a contingency fee, meaning you do not pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
