Alabama personal injury basics
Alabama is one of only a few states that follows a pure contributory negligence rule. Under this rule, a person found to be even slightly at fault for an accident may be barred from recovering damages at all, which makes understanding your case important. Most personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of injury.
This is general information only and not legal advice. An attorney can review the specific facts of your case and advise you on how these rules may apply.
