Hunter Garnett at Garnett Patterson is definitely one of the good personal injury attorneys. He donates to schools instead of buying big flashy ads. If you need a PI attorney, call Paris Morris and she can get you in to talk to Hunter. You will not regret it!

Garnett Patterson and the entire staff are the real deal. You won’t get sent to an answering service every time you call. There are personal relationships at this firm. Paris is an amazing staff member, and makes clients feel comfortable and taken care of. Can’t recall them enough!

I haven’t needed their services myself, but I know the team here and they are smart, kind, and really know their stuff. Paris was the one to introduce me to what they do and who they are. They’re the type of people you feel comfortable trusting in a tough situation, and I’ve seen how much they care about the people they help.

Garnett Patterson has been great through my entire case. I had another injury lawyer in the beginning of my case and they weren’t keeping me informed well enough to know what the steps were as my case progressed. Garnett Patterson has a login software to keep track of your case and they communicate very well verbally to keep you at ease about the progress of your case. I recommend anyone to use Garnett Patterson injury lawyers.

There are no words to describe how pleased and happy I am with this office! From day 1 they treated me like family! We were in an awful accident where an unisured driver pulled out in front of us. We t-boned him going 65 and my femur was shattered at the knee. My children both sustained injuries as well. I could not walk or fuction enough to go home, let alone go to their office, so they came to the rehab facility I was in to give me a consulation.. Hunter face timed me from his anniversary trip in europe for this meeting. Talk about dedication! I had a very hard case with difficult out of state insurance providers that were dead set on taking every penny of any settlement I might receive. Which is quite disheartening when I was the one injured and fired from my job due to recovery time and am still recovering after a year. The insurance companies became very predatory in trying to take everything from me. Hunter and Lillian and team did everything they could to negotiate the amounts down. When they realized that unum, yes the company that gets paid to pay disability payment for events like this, wanted every penny they paid in short term disability back just because I received a settlement from the auto insurance, they lowered their own rates just to ensure i came out with something to offset the pain and stress the accident caused me! They are compassionate and very caring! I will recommend them to anyone who can use this team! I cannot express how well they treated me during this life altering event!

Hunter Garnett and his staff did an amazing job in representing us and got a fair judgment for our injuries. His advice and patience made a very stressful and difficult process tolerable.

I personally worked with Hunter Garnett on a wreck I had back in January 2022. Hunter made sure I didnt have to deal with much regarding insurance claims and personal injuries. He asked what I wanted back from my losses and got me the best deal possible. I was able to even avoid going to court and settled outside. Hunter too made sure to check in with me oh a regular basis! He really cares about his clients and treats them like a family member! Highly recommended if you find yourself looking for an excellent lawyer!

I couldn't be more grateful for the representation from Hunter Garnett and his team at Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Hunter and his team were knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly effective. Hunter is a great lawyer! Their communication was excellent; I always felt informed and updated. They were well-prepared and were able to negotiate a favorable settlement on my behalf outside of court. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to recover the full amount I was owed. The relief I felt when my case was resolved was immense. I highly recommend Hunter Garnett to anyone needing legal assistance. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made a stressful situation manageable and ultimately successful.

I was involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle in September of 2023, which was deemed to be caused by the CDL driver almost immediately. The accident caused $13k of property damage to my car and came very close to totaling it due to the cost of repairs! Thankfully, no one was injured! The third-party company that handled the claim for the trucking and insurance company was very shady and unprofessional! I could go on all day about how stressful the situation was!

After several months, I spoke with the third party handling the claim about the possibility of a diminished value claim. I was advised I would need to purchase a damage estimate and submit it to them. I got the estimate; I attempted to submit the lost value claim to the third-party insurance representative with the trucking company, and I was advised I was owed nothing. It is well known that the value decreases when a car requires significant repairs after a collision, so I knew this was wrong! I knew I had to find an attorney.

I called at least four local attorneys in the Huntsville-Decatur area before I called Hunter's office. The first three said it basically wasn't worth their time, that with a 33% attorney fee, it was too small to take. I called a man in Birmingham who told me to call Garnett Patterson. Hunter without hesitation agreed to help me! He barely made anything taking this case; the monetary value was small. Hunter accepted my case because it was the right thing to do! I’ve also seen the things Hunter is doing for the Hispanic community, which without saying are a great act of selflessness! Hunter took it upon himself to help a fundraiser I had undertaken to pay for a memorial of a co-worker as well! I’ve even seen him help ppl add coolant to their cars outside the front of his office! He’s really one of a kind and a very genuine and down to earth guy!! If we had more people like Hunter, whose actions are driven by a genuine desire to help without expectation of a reward, this world would be a much better place!

It is with great pleasure and without hesitation to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding legal representation I received from Mr. H. Garnett. To begin with, I contacted multiple lawyers in the local area and as far as Birmingham, seeking legal services regarding a vehicle accident that my daughter (MH) was involved in when she was hit by another driver on County Line RD. When other lawyers discovered that there were no physical injury claims, they would be apologetic and tell me they couldn’t help, and they would refer me to another lawyer, then another and another. Finally, I contacted the Law Office of Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers, and my prayer was answered. Mr. H. Garnett was THE ONLY lawyer to personally call me after normal working hours to discuss the situation with myself and my husband. After about an hour-long conversation, Mr. Garnett agreed to take our case. That speaks volumes!! Mr. Garnett showed a deep understanding and genuine concern of the situation.
Mr. Garnett took a personal interest in the case due to the situation and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Mr. Garnett and his staff kept me, and my husband informed during the entire process and addressed any concerns promptly, even when he was on vacation! Any time we had a concern regarding the case and the interaction between our insurance company, Mr. Garnett and his team reassured us, and did an amazing job! I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel for injury claims/vehicle accidents.
When the case was completed Mr. Garnett asked my husband to come to his office. My husband was blown away by Mr. Garnett’s down to earth, personable and honest persona, and I can say without a doubt that anyone who hires Mr. Garnett will be dealing with a person of very good moral character, integrity, and dedication!!

I was in a car accident and I hired an attorney thats well known here in Huntsville. Unfortunately they were not able to negotiate my case. They didn’t give up they contacted Attorney Hunter Garnett. He took my case and fought for me. He came out of the gate fighting. He was honest and never misleading. He let me know from the beginning that he was going to take care of me no matter how long it took. If ever I should need a personal injury attorney. Attorney Hunter Garnett at Garnett and Patterson Injury Lawyers will be the attorney for me!

The Real Struggles After a Car Accident in Alabama

A serious car accident can turn your life upside down in seconds. At Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers, we understand just how overwhelming the aftermath can be physically, emotionally, and financially. As an Alabama car accident lawyer, we’re here to help you regain control, deal with the insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Taking the Financial Pressure Off You

We’ll fight to recover every dollar you’re owed for medical bills, lost wages, and future income so you can focus on getting better without the stress of falling behind financially.

Helping You Get Back on the Road

If your car is totaled or in the shop, we help you recover compensation for repairs, replacement, or rental costs, so you’re not stuck without transportation when your life still needs to keep moving.

Dealing with Insurance So You Don’t Have To

Insurance companies can be tough to handle, especially when you’re hurt. We take over those frustrating calls and negotiations to make sure you’re treated fairly and don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Making Sure You’re Cared for Long-Term

Some injuries don’t heal quickly, and some never fully do. We work with doctors and specialists to understand the full impact of your injuries and fight for compensation that covers your ongoing care and emotional recovery.

Alabama Car Accident Attorney Explains Why Every Percent of Fault Matters

Why Fault Matters More in Alabama Than Almost Anywhere Else
Alabama follows one of the harshest negligence laws in the country.

Under the pure contributory negligence rule, if you’re found even 1% at fault for the crash, you could lose your right to any compensation, no matter how badly you’re injured or how reckless the other driver was.

That’s a devastating reality for many accident victims. One moment you’re doing your best to recover; the next, you’re being told you may get nothing because of a technicality. That’s where we step in.

Alabama Car Accident Lawyers Who Help You Fight Back

At Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers, we know how high the stakes are in Alabama car accident cases.

Our job is to protect your claim from being unfairly denied and that starts with building a clear, evidence-backed case that proves you weren’t at fault.

We dig deep: gathering witness statements, traffic camera footage, expert analysis, and anything else needed to push back against blame-shifting tactics used by insurance companies. Reach out to us for a free case evaluation.

There Are Exceptions and We Know How to Use Them

Even in Alabama, the law recognizes that some victims deserve protection regardless of fault. These include cases involving:

Children under 14
Individuals with mental impairments
Drivers harmed by wanton or reckless behavior (like drunk or distracted driving)

If there’s an exception that applies to your case, we’ll find it and we’ll use it.

What You Can Expect From Us

When you choose Garnett Patterson, you’re getting more than legal experience you’re getting an ally who genuinely cares. We offer:

Free, no-pressure consultations
No fees unless we win your case
Direct access to your attorney, not just a case manager

Alabama Car Accident Attorney Who Knows How to Handle Insurance Companies

Insurance companies aren’t there to help you — they’re there to protect their bottom line. In Alabama, they only need to prove you were slightly at fault to deny your entire claim.

We wait until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI)
Collect and present strong documentation of injuries, expenses, and lost wages
Push back against lowball offers with detailed counter-demands
