We work to hold wrongdoers accountable and pursue the full compensation our clients are entitled to, including:

A committed advocate working for you

At Pickens, Barnes & Abernathy, we understand that personal injury claims pit injured individuals against well-funded insurance companies and their legal teams. That is why our attorneys are committed to leveling the playing field. When you retain us, you can expect:

  • Individual attention — Your case receives the personal care and focus it deserves. We take the time to understand your injuries, your losses, and your goals before charting a path forward.

  • Honest guidance — We provide you with straightforward assessments of your claim from the outset, including a candid evaluation of its strengths, its challenges, and what a realistic recovery may look like.

  • Efficiency — We know that your time and resources matter. Our attorneys pursue your claim effectively and without unnecessary delay, so you can focus on your recovery.

  • A focus on full compensation — We pursue all available damages on your behalf, including medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses stemming from your injury.

Prepared to go the distance

Insurance companies routinely undervalue legitimate injury claims, betting that claimants will accept less than they deserve rather than face the prospect of trial. Pickens, Barnes & Abernathy does not back down. Our attorneys have the courtroom experience and trial-ready preparation to take your case as far as necessary to achieve a just result. When settlement serves your interests, we will tell you why. When it does not, we are ready to fight for you.
