The short answer is any type of accident that causes you harm. Some examples of these accidents include:

Proving Fault in a Personal Injury Case in Alabama 

Someone else’s negligence causes most personal injury accidents. Generally speaking, to prove fault in a negligence case, you need to show the following:

  • Another person or entity owed you a duty of care 
  • The other person or entity breached that duty of care 
  • The breach was the cause of the accident
  • The injuries you suffered were the result of that accident, and those injuries caused financial loss to you

For example, if a drunk driver hits you, the relevant duty of care would be to obey all traffic laws and drive reasonably safely, including driving sober. The breach of that duty would be driving while intoxicated which resulted in injuries to you.

How Long Do I Have to File My Alabama Personal Injury Claim?

For example, in Georgia and Alabama, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims based on negligence is typically two years from the date of the injury or death, although some exceptions may apply.
