OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE: ALABAMA'S STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR WANTONNESS IS SIX YEARS

Upon the recent conclusions of our presentation of plaintiff's evidence in a real property pollution case, we were confronted with a motion for judgement as a matter of law contending that plaintiff's wantonness clam was time-barred by the two-year statute of limitation s of Ala. Code 6-2-38(l). We countered that wantonness has a six-year statute of limitation following the history in McKenzie v. Killian, 887 So,2d 861, 879 (Ala. 2004).
