Why choose Prince Glover Hayes
At Prince Glover Hayes, our team of award-winning attorneys offers unwavering legal support for our clients. We’re not afraid to take on large corporations, and we’re proud of our results. Some of our verdicts have set records for Alabama, which allows us to let our results speak for themselves. Here are just a few of our successes:
- $43,800,000 – Environmental contamination verdict: A Hale County jury awarded our clients $43.8 million, including $37 million in punitive damages, after our team proved that a Plantation Pipeline leaked up to one million gallons of gasoline, which contaminated the clients’ small farm.
- $15,500,000 – Trucking accident verdict: We secured a $15.5 million federal court verdict for our client, who suffered severe injuries in a head-on collision with a Roadway Express double tractor-trailer. The driver, who had nine prior accidents, crossed the median and hit our client’s vehicle. The verdict is the largest personal injury award ever in Tuscaloosa County, which sends a strong message to the trucking industry.
- $3,500,000 – Auto accident verdict: Our team, led by Robert Prince, secured a $3.5 million verdict in Tuscaloosa County for the estate of an 18-year-old killed in an auto accident. The tragedy occurred when a Gillan Trucking Co. driver, later found to be under the influence of drugs, recklessly crossed a curve and drove over the victim’s car. That verdict was a record for the state at the time (until our team set a new record with a later verdict).
At Prince Glover Hayes, our record proves that we’re a formidable force in the courtroom, but we also believe it’s our responsibility to support our community and give back to the people of West Alabama. Whether it’s teaching Sunday school at a local church, leading organizations like the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, volunteering for food banks and homeless shelters, or founding the Tuscaloosa SAFE Center, which offers crisis support for victims of sexual assault, we strive to serve our community every way we can. When you choose Prince Glover Hayes to represent you, you have a team that cares about you, your family, and your neighborhood.
Cases our attorneys handle in Alabama
Prince Glover Hayes advocates for clients across a broad range of civil matters, from car accidents to complex environmental contamination cases.
Our practice areas include:
Personal injury and car accidents
Personal injury cases include any claims that stem from negligence. Many of these cases involve car accidents, in which one driver does something dangerous or careless and causes injuries to others on the road. Other personal injury claims may relate to defective products, as well as slips and falls. If you or a loved one experienced serious personal injuries because of someone else’s negligence, you need an Alabama personal injury lawyer who can pursue compensation to cover your medical costs, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. At Prince Glover Hayes, we are ready to listen to you and evaluate your potential claims.
Truck accidents
When it comes to vehicle collisions, crashes involving large trucks are a category on their own. The likelihood of catastrophic injuries related to these accidents is particularly high, thanks to the massive size of commercial trucks. For the victims in these claims, compensation is critical because of the high cost of medical care and potential expenses related to resulting disabilities, which may include rehabilitation, prosthetics, other assistive technology, and even home modifications. Also, when handling large truck claims, injury victims may need to take on large companies that have powerful legal teams of their own. If you or a loved one find yourself in this situation, you need your own Alabama truck accident attorneys fighting for you and your family.
Defective products
Product manufacturers and retail sellers have a duty to ensure that their products are reasonably safe for consumer use. Sadly, there are many situations where products present unreasonable risks to those who purchase and use them. Our team has handled claims related to:
- Defective cars and trucks
- Defective industrial and commercial appliances and equipment
- Defective saw blades
- Negligently designed all-terrain vehicles
- Defectively designed gasoline tanks
Alabama’s laws related to product liability include negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability under the state’s Alabama Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine (AEMLD). The defects may involve flaws in the design or manufacturing of the product or a failure to warn users about possible risks that the product creates. Many of these claims are highly technical, so our experienced attorneys work with experts and use sophisticated demonstrations like computer animation to argue product liability cases.
Wrongful death
Some accidents lead to tragic results. There is nothing worse for families than losing a loved one in an accident caused by another person or company. Although there is no way to truly right this wrong, filing a claim can help families hold the responsible person accountable while also recovering compensation that may remove some of the resulting financial burdens related to the loss. If your family lost someone, a wrongful death claim can help you collect damages that will cover funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and lost income and support that person would have provided. In situations where your loved one was a provider, these claims can remove some of the financial burden so that you can focus on recovering and mourning rather than worrying about bills. Our compassionate Alabama wrongful death attorneys are here to offer support and consultations to determine if you have a claim.
Environmental law
Environmental claims, or toxic torts, involve exposure to toxic substances. Some possible toxins that might cause harm and lead to one of these claims include:
- Hazardous waste
- Lead-based paint
- Pesticides
- Asbestos
- Electromagnetic fields
- Toxic landfill waste
- Heavy metals
- Mercury
- Arsenic
These toxic materials are known to be hazardous, which is why the government has passed environmental laws to regulate their use and disposal. However, proper handling of toxins and environmental contaminants can be costly, and corporate greed can lead companies to cut corners. When this happens, they can put everyday people and the environment in danger. If you or your property suffered because of toxic contamination, you need to speak to an Alabama environmental law attorney about your legal rights and options.
Insurance fraud
Prince Glover Hayes stands up to insurance companies when they act in bad faith. We are a recognized leader in Alabama, where we fight on behalf of those who receive unfair settlements or who are wrongfully denied the benefits of their policies. After years of performing this work, we’ve seen that wrongful denials and unfair settlements are commonplace for the industry, where fraudulent actions that mislead consumers serve to increase profits for large insurance companies. In a successful insurance case, the court can compensate you for denied policy benefits and award damages and attorney fees. In extreme cases of bad faith or fraud, the court may award punitive damages as well. If your insurer is failing to abide by their policy, contact our Alabama insurance fraud attorneys to discuss your options.
