Smith, Rufus R.

An Experienced Personal Injury Law Firm in Dothan, Alabama

Protecting Our Clients' Interests Since 1974

At The Law Offices of Rufus R. Smith, Jr., we have spent nearly four decades fighting on behalf of personal injury victims throughout Alabama, and in southeast Georgia and northwest Florida as well. We have obtained hundreds of six-, seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements for previous clients over that span of time, and we have developed the skills and resources needed to prevail in even the most complex and hard-fought cases.

As this experience and track record of success shows, we are tenacious advocates who will not be intimidated by the aggressive tactics that defendants and insurance companies often use to try to minimize their losses at the victim's expense.

Our Practice

The majority of our practice is focused on personal injury and wrongful death claims. Previous cases and success stories our law firm has been a part of have involved motor vehicle accidents of all types (auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents and more); health care-related negligence (medical malpractice and nursing home abuse or neglect cases); defective or unreasonably dangerous products (pharmaceutical drug litigation, in particular); and a wide range of catastrophic injuries (traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, severe burns and others as well).

Our law firm also pursues workers' compensation benefits for people with job-related injuries or illnesses, including employees covered under the Federal Employers Liability Act or the Defense Base Act.

In addition to those practice areas, we represent home, life, auto, disability and medical insurance policyholders with claims alleging insurance fraud or insurance bad faith. Lastly, our law firm also advises and represents businesses seeking to resolve disputes, or to pursue or defend lawsuits in either state or federal court.
