Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim in Alabama

Bringing forth a personal injury claim in Alabama is no easy feat; indeed, you will need to prove four distinct elements in order to recover compensation for your injuries. Our Mobile, Alabama Personal Injury Attorneys will guide you through each of these elements, and gather necessary evidence to establish each.

Existence of Duty of Care – You must prove that the person against whom you are filing an action owed you a duty of care;
Breach of Duty of Care – A breach of duty of care means that the duty of care owed to you was violated;
Causation – You must prove that the breach of duty of care was the direct cause of your accident; and
Damages – You will have to prove that you suffered actual damages in order to be compensated as such.

Important Personal Injury Rules in Alabama You Should Know

Before you bring forth a civil action in Alabama, there are some important state laws in place governing personal injury claims that you should know. These include:

Statute of Limitations

A statute of limitations is a time limit that is placed on a civil action, capping the amount of time that a plaintiff has to bring forth a case against a defendant. Statutes of limitation are designed to protect defendants from actions after an unreasonable amount of time has passed. In Alabama, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. If you wait more than two years from the date of your injury to bring forth a suit, you may be permanently barred from damages.

Pure Contributory Negligence Laws

Alabama is one of the few states in the nation that still has a pure contributory negligence system of fault in place. In most states, shared fault laws state that plaintiffs can still recover compensation from the defendant for their damages, so long as the plaintiff’s degree of fault is not greater than the defendant’s. However, this is not the case is Alabama, which bars plaintiffs from seeking compensation if they contributed to their injuries at all, even a single percent.

Caps on Certain Damage Types

While Alabama law once limited the amount of compensatory damages a plaintiff could recover in a case, the state’s Supreme Court found this cap unconstitutional, and as such, only punitive damages are limited in the state today. Punitive damages are damages that are designed to punish the defendant for their actions (rather than compensate the victim), and are capped at three times the amount of compensatory damages or $500,000, whichever is greater. In cases where a civil action for physical injury is being pursued, the cap is lifted to three times the amount of compensatory damages or $1,500,000.

When I met Ed Rowan, my family and I were in a dispute with a very large and nationally recognized company. From the start, I could tell we were in good hands. His immediate grasp of the case, including the most minute details was refreshing. Within a few weeks, I found that skill and a good memory were only two of Ed’s attributes. He is also honest, hardworking, and extremely motivated to win. The successful resolution of our case far exceeded my expectations. Ed Rowan has proved himself to me. He will be my first call for any legal issues I have in the future.

My family and I had a very positive experience with this law firm. Our attorney worked so hard on our behalf. We were extremely happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend this firm to others that are looking for help. Thank you for making this a positive experience for us. We had other things to worry about. This firm took our legal worries away. Thank you, again, for your service.

I highly recommend the firm as they took my case and settled it quickly. They took me in and treated me like family from day one. They kept me informed throughout the process and never left me feeling uncomfortable. Ben and Jennifer went above and beyond what anyone would expect.

This was the best law firm I have ever experienced. All I did was just contacted them and they did the rest for me and updated me every week about the work in process. They were so good and I highly recommend them in case of any accidents

No one ever wants to find themselves in need of an attorney, however, if needed you should contact Taylor Martino. They all worked very hard on my case and got me a much bigger settlement than I ever expected. I hope to never be in need of a lawyer again but if I do, I'll be calling them.

I had a family member use this firm a couple months ago and dealt with Richard Taylor. He was very professional and compassionate. He went above and beyond to make sure my family was informed and felt confident in their situation. I would recommend this firm to anyone!
