At The Lackey Law Firm, our team of dedicated personal injury lawyers is committed to protecting the rights of injury victims throughout Decatur and Morgan County — from the historic streets of Old Decatur and the Albany Historic District, to the neighborhoods of Southwest Decatur, Burningtree, and the family communities near Point Mallard Park along the Tennessee River.

From car accidents and workplace injuries to premises liability, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims, every injury attorney at our firm understands Alabama law inside and out.
We understand the challenges that follow a serious accident. That’s why our team focuses on recovering all available economic damages, punitive damages, and the mounting medical expenses that pile up after a trip to Decatur Morgan Hospital. Wrecks on US-31 (Sixth Avenue), Beltline Road, Highway 20, Spring Avenue, and the busy interchanges where I-565 and I-65 feed traffic into the region are an unfortunate part of daily life here — and when an insurance company tries to minimize what you’ve been through, our car accident lawyer team is ready to stand up on your behalf. We are equally honored to support families pursuing a wrongful death claim, offering the steady guidance they need during life’s most difficult moments.
