Alabama Code § 6-2-38 states that personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurred. There are, however, several exceptions to Alabama’s two-year statute of limitations depending on the type of claim. For instance, a minor’s two-year statute of limitations does not begin until she/he reaches the age of 19. The personal injury attorneys here at Martin & Helms can listen to your situation and explain how the statute of limitations applies to you. It’s important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you file a timely case. We can help.
