Alabama Personal Injury Laws

Understanding Alabama’s personal injury laws is critical to building a strong claim. Alabama operates under a contributory negligence system, which means if the injured party is found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, they may be barred from recovering compensation. This is a strict and often controversial rule, making it essential to work with a skilled lawyer who can build a case that demonstrates the other party's complete liability.

Alabama also imposes a statute of limitations on personal injury claims. Generally, victims have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline can result in your case being dismissed, regardless of its merit.

Additionally, Alabama does not cap damages in most personal injury cases unless it involves a government entity. This means injured individuals may recover significant compensation if they can prove the defendant’s negligence caused their injuries.

Compensation Available to Injured Victims

A successful personal injury claim can provide compensation for a wide range of damages. At Cunningham Bounds, our goal is to ensure clients are fully and fairly compensated for both economic and non-economic losses, which may include:

Economic Damages:

• Medical Expenses: Emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, future medical treatment.
• Lost Wages: Time missed from work, loss of future earning capacity.
• Property Damage: Costs associated with repairing or replacing damaged property (e.g., vehicles).

Non-Economic Damages:

• Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress.
• Mental Anguish: Trauma, anxiety, PTSD, or depression caused by the injury.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Inability to participate in hobbies, sports, or social activities.
• Loss of Consortium: Impact of the injury on relationships with loved ones.

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

FAQs About Personal Injury Claims in Daphne, AL

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case?

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you may have a valid claim. A free consultation with our attorneys can help determine the strength of your case.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Alabama follows the pure contributory negligence rule. If you're even 1% at fault, you cannot recover compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to have a lawyer who can build a strong case proving the other party was entirely responsible.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injury, total medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Our firm can evaluate your case and estimate potential compensation.

How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?

Timelines vary. Some cases settle in a few months, while others—especially those involving litigation—may take over a year. We work diligently to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible without compromising its value.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlements. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, we will be fully prepared to take your case to court.
