How fault works

PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery

In Alabama, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. A wrongful death claim carries the same two-year deadline, measured from the date of death. Because missing this window can permanently end your right to recover, it's wise to connect with an attorney well before the deadline draws near.
Alabama follows a strict standard known as pure contributory negligence. Under this rule, if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you can be barred from recovering anything at all. That makes how fault is investigated and documented critically important to your claim, which is exactly why matching with a knowledgeable Alabama attorney early can help protect your ability to recover.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Alabama?

Alabama generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and the same two-year deadline applies to wrongful death claims, measured from the date of death. Once that deadline passes, the court can permanently bar your claim no matter how strong it is. Because building a case takes time, it's best not to wait — we can connect you with an independent Alabama attorney who can review your deadline right away.

What does Alabama's contributory negligence rule mean for my claim?

Alabama is a pure contributory negligence state, meaning that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be blocked from recovering any compensation. This is one of the strictest fault rules in the country, and insurers know it, so they often try to pin some share of blame on injured people. Careful investigation and documentation of who caused the accident are essential, which is why we match you with an independent attorney experienced in Alabama law.

Does Alabama have no-fault car insurance or required PIP coverage?

No. Alabama is an at-fault (tort) state and does not use a no-fault system, so drivers are not required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP). Instead, the driver who caused the crash and their insurer are generally responsible for the resulting harm. Sorting out fault and available coverage can be complex, and an independent attorney we connect you with can help you understand your options.

What does FaultFreeClaims do, and is there a cost to connect?

FaultFreeClaims is not a law firm, insurance company, or public adjuster, and we do not give legal advice, file claims, or represent you. What we do is connect you, at no cost and within minutes, with an independent, licensed Alabama attorney who can evaluate your situation. From there, that attorney — not FaultFreeClaims — can advise you and, if appropriate, file and represent your case in Alabama's Circuit Courts.
