Under Alabama Code § 6-2-38, most premises liability lawsuits must be filed within two years of your injury. In the case of the tragic loss of a family member, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative within two years of their death (§ 6-5-410).
If you were hurt on city or county property, the rules are different. City claims require written notice within 6 months of the incident (§ 11-47-23). County claims must usually be presented within 12 months (§ 11-12-8).
Missing the deadline means the court will likely dismiss your case, and you will not be able to refile. Insurers are aware of this and often stop negotiating once time runs out. For city or county property, late notice can bar the claim entirely.

In Alabama, a property owner’s duty depends on the visitor’s legal status. Of these groups, invitees have the strongest protections, licensees have more limited protections, and trespassers have the least.
Alabama courts apply the open and obvious rule, which means owners are usually not liable for hazards that are plainly visible to a reasonable person. Alabama also follows pure contributory negligence, which can bar recovery if the injured person is found even slightly at fault. These rules make it critical to gather evidence early and present a clear, persuasive case.
Generally, a trespasser is someone on a property without the owner’s permission. Alabama treats children differently. Kids don’t always have the capacity to realize something is dangerous, discern “right” from “wrong,” or control their impulses to the level an adult can. As such, Alabama follows the attractive nuisance doctrine.
Under this doctrine, property owners have a special obligation to protect children from harm, especially when something on the property might draw their attention and not present as an obvious danger. Think of unfenced swimming pools, trampolines, construction sites, and machinery.
If your child was hurt on someone else’s property, you may still have a claim even if your child did not have permission to be there. At Morris, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC, our team will listen to your story, explain your options, and help you plan your next steps.
Premises liability cases arise for many diverse reasons. These are some of the more frequent causes we see in the Mobile metropolitan and Gulf Coast area.
Why does the cause of the unsafe condition matter? Identifying the precise cause allows us to prove how long the hazard existed, who was responsible for it, and what should have been done to prevent your injury.
In Alabama, compensation generally falls into two categories. Our Mobile premises liability lawyers help you document and calculate both.
These are the quantifiable financial losses you’ve suffered, including:
These are the more intangible, human losses that result from an injury, including:
If a family member passed away, Alabama’s wrongful death recovery is punitive. That means it’s meant to punish the wrongdoer rather than reimburse for bills. A personal representative brings the claim, and any recovery is distributed to the decedent’s heirs.
Because Alabama follows a pure contributory negligence rule, insurers often argue that an injured person shares fault to avoid paying anything. Our premises liability lawyers in Mobile gather proof to ensure every path to fair compensation is taken.
Claims against cities, counties, and other local government entities are subject to strict notice rules and damage caps. Our Mobile law firm will evaluate whether these rules apply to your claim and position your case for the best possible outcome.
