Allen Sydnor

Allen Sydnor is a partner with Huie in Birmingham whose practice includes Medical Malpractice, Pharmaceutical/Healthcare, Medical Device Litigation, Nursing Home Litigation, Insurance Coverage & Defense, Product Liability, Professional Liability, Premises Liability, Environmental Litigation, and Mediation. Sydnor has nearly three decades of healthcare-defense experience and represents health care providers, pharmaceutical and medical-device interests, insurers, and other clients in complex civil litigation involving injury and professional-liability claims.

Sydnor earned a BA from Hampden-Sydney College and a JD from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. He joined Huie in 1987 and developed a litigation practice that has included trials in state and federal courts in multiple jurisdictions. His education and long courtroom experience support analysis of medical records, expert testimony, standards of care, product issues, insurance questions, causation, and damages in healthcare and professional-liability cases.

Sydnor’s work includes defense of health care providers, pharmaceutical and medical-device litigation, general insurance matters, product-liability claims, motor-vehicle cases, and other civil disputes. Healthcare cases can require detailed review of treatment records, expert opinions, institutional policies, and scientific or technical evidence. His broader insurance and product work adds experience with contractual coverage questions, product performance, accident reconstruction, and other issues that can overlap with high-exposure injury litigation.

Allen Sydnor is also a registered mediator in Alabama and participates in defense and trial-law organizations, including the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Board of Trial Advocates. His combination of healthcare defense, product and insurance litigation, trial experience, and mediation work allows him to help clients assess risk, prepare complex cases, and pursue resolution through negotiation, mediation, or trial as the circumstances require.
