Birmingham

Birmingham is the county seat of Jefferson County and the center of a metro that sprawls across the valley and over Red Mountain. Downtown, Southside and the UAB medical district see heavy traffic from I-20/59, I-65 and the Red Mountain Expressway, and neighborhoods like Redmont Park, Highland Park and Forest Park sit just minutes from it all. Crashes inside the city are usually worked by the Birmingham Police Department, and civil cases from here are typically filed at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard.

When choosing a lawyer, think about who you’d be comfortable meeting with more than once and how they explain Alabama’s strict fault rule. Our crash report page and courthouse directory cover the local offices.
