Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) maintains statistics on vehicle safety and driving safety and publishes materials about distracted driving, drunk driving and other traffic safety matters. www.distraction.gov is another website devoted to talking and texting while driving and other distracted driving issues.
• Wrongful Death
  Not only do we represent the victims themselves, but we also have experience working with surviving family members in cases that involved wrongful death, as well as family members and guardians in nursing home abuse and neglect cases. We have represented plaintiffs harmed in myriad accidents, of ages ranging from young to old, and who have suffered injuries from serious to absolutely catastrophic and tragic.
• Traffic Violations
  While waiting for the police to come, exchange information with the other driver or drivers, including names, driver’s license numbers and insurance policy information. You can share the name of your insurance company and policy number, but do not discuss your benefits with the other driver, such as the amount of liability insurance you have or whether you carry medical payments coverage. Also, do not make any statements that might be construed as demonstrating negligence, such as if you were speeding or distracted. If there were any witnesses to the accident, try to get their contact information as well. It is also a good idea to use this time to take pictures of the automobiles and the general scene of the accident.
• Assault
• Homicide
  If the driver who is using an electronic device happens to get into an accident that leads to injury or death, he could be charged with reckless driving or vehicular homicide.

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  If you work on the navigable waters in Alabama, treatment of your workplace injuries may fall under federal law, rather than state workers compensation. Prior to the establishment of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (commonly known as The Jones Act), offshore workers had insufficient options for obtaining assistance or recovering damages for injuries sustained on their dangerous jobs.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  When someone suffers an injury and incurs monetary and non-monetary losses, two things that will likely affect their ability to recover compensation for their losses are where the accident occurred and who was to blame for its occurrence. In the event that the accident and injury happen on the property of someone other than the injury victim, the legal theory of premises liability may come into play. At the Law Office of J. Allan Brown, LLC, our Alabama premises liability attorneys can assist you in understanding this legal theory, your rights under it, and how to pursue damages. Contact us today for your free consultation.
• Property Damage
  Regardless of the severity of an accident, when the negligence of others causes injuries and property damage, it makes sense to seek a complimentary consultation of your legal options from an experienced Mobile auto accident lawyer.

• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Dog bites can cause everything from scratches to major injuries, and in rare cases, death. Stitches, hospital visits, and physical therapy may sometimes be required. Biting victims may also suffer from anxiety or mental trauma for years when they’re around other dogs. Biting incidents may cause other injuries and trauma as well, such as if an aggressive dog knocks someone down when they’re walking or biking and then begins to bite them.
