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. He's a man of faith and treats people with respect and dignity. I believe you will be well served by trusting this firm with your needs. God Bless!
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!!

Construction Accident Attorney In Huntsville
Huntsville, Decatur, and Athens are three of the fastest growing cities in the country. If you live in Madison County, Morgan County, or Limestone County then you have noticed new office buildings, neighborhoods, and other development projects. All these new projects are made possible by hardworking construction workers.
Construction workers trust that their contractors and employers will keep them safe. Unfortunately, some companies put profits before worker safety and treat the construction workers as disposable. Construction workers are left to work in unsafe environments for long hours, and this often results in serious accidents.
Everyone living in North Alabama knows that we have a major shortage of skilled and qualified workers. Because of the worker shortage, many construction companies are hiring unqualified workers. This makes construction sites even more dangerous.
Scaffolding Accidents
When construction crews are working on tall buildings, scaffolding comes in handy and helps repair the building or carry on the construction. Unfortunately, some of these structures are poorly constructed and are not as safe and secure as they should be. This causes the scaffolding to tilt, shake or collapse, causing scaffolding accidents and serious harm to the workers on or around scaffolding.
It is important to keep vehicles and heavy equipment clear of scaffolding, regularly inspect the scaffolding, and pay attention to the specific load bearing capabilities of the scaffolding.
Huntsville Accident Lawyers Who Answer Questions
Because we care, we have created informational guides to answer all your legal questions after an accident
Fatal Falls
According to the CDC, falls are the top cause of work-related deaths in the construction industry. Construction sites usually have raised structures and are full of dangerous debris that can cause slip-and-fall accidents. For instance, when a construction worker slips and falls, they can land on machinery, dangerous debris, and nearby tools.
Crush Injuries
Most construction sites are elevated, and the company must build structures up to give workers access to the higher levels. When the crew is working above ground, there’s an increased risk of dropping tools, small machines, or construction materials, causing devastating injuries to the workers below or bystanders.
Dangerous Equipment
Construction machinery is often complex, which is why it should only be operated by experienced equipment operators. Unfortunately, construction companies often allow uncertified and unqualified employees to handle the equipment without any prior training.
Trench Cave-Ins
Trenches within the construction site sometimes collapse, and workers inside it could be trapped inside or sustain serious injuries due to the falling debris. Every trench cave-in accident is preventable. Trench cave-ins can be prevented by taking proper safety precautions.
Who Is Responsible for a Construction Accident?
If you work with a construction company that has workers’ compensation insurance, you’re entitled to receive benefits without having to prove fault. Unfortunately, in Alabama, many employers are not required to carry worker’s comp if they classify workers as independent contractors and pay them with a 1099 tax form. However, even if your employer calls you an independent contractor, you may still be entitled to worker’s comp benefits.
There are other possible sources of recovery in construction accident cases. Some of the responsible parties in construction site accidents include:
- Contractors or relevant third parties: most construction jobs are collaborative, and it’s not uncommon for your employer to use other contractors. If this third party is responsible for the accident, they should be held liable and pay for injuries.
- Your employer: employer negligence is common in construction sites and usually results in serious accidents. Negligence, in this case, could be in the form of failure to provide workers with the necessary training, lack of proper supervision, improper maintenance of the machines, etc.
- Product manufacturers: this is mostly for situations where your injuries are a result of toxic chemicals in their products or due to defective tools. This type of case is called product liability.
- Property owners: if they created hazardous working conditions due to negligence, you could file a claim a premises liability case against the property owner.
- Construction accidents are often complex, which is why you should hire a Huntsville construction accident lawyer to help you with your case. Call Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers at 256-539-8686 to speak to us as you decide on the right construction accident lawyer for your case.
