Slip & Fall claims in Montgomery

Downtown Montgomery has more public floors underfoot than most cities its size. State offices, county buildings, courthouse corridors, and museum lobbies are not the same ground as a grocery aisle. Who owned the floor changes the path a claim takes, since a fall in a government building generally runs through notice procedures that have no bearing on a claim against a store, and that detail quietly ends cases. Private property is more familiar. A restaurant entry, a hotel stair, a parking deck stairwell. Report it the day it happens. Ask for the name of the manager who filled out the incident report. Ask what time they wrote it, and ask for your own copy.
How fault gets decided can end a slip-and-fall case in Montgomery before it starts. Alabama's rule: Pure contributory negligence — 1% at fault bars all recovery. You have 2 years to file. Injured on someone else's property — a store, a business, or private premises.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I request a crash report in Montgomery?

From whichever agency responded. The Montgomery Police Department works most city streets, Alabama State Troopers work I-65 and I-85, and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office covers county roads outside the city. Reports generally are not ready the same day, and Alabama distributes them through a state portal for a fee. Get the report number at the scene if you can, because it makes every step after this one shorter.

Which court would my injury case go to in Montgomery?

Montgomery County Circuit Court. Montgomery is also where Alabama's appellate courts sit, but that is not where a case begins. An injury suit is generally filed in the circuit court for the county tied to the crash. An independent, licensed Alabama attorney makes that call and files the paperwork. We are not a law firm, and we do neither.

The driver who hit me was passing through on I-65. Does that change my claim?

Not the Alabama rules. A crash on Alabama pavement is generally governed by Alabama law, including the contributory-negligence bar and the 2-year deadline, whatever plate the other car was carrying. What it can change is practical: an out-of-state driver, an out-of-state insurer, and possibly a commercial policy if a truck was involved. Those take longer to pin down, which is one more reason not to sit on it.

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

In Alabama, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 2 years personal injury; wrongful death 2 years (measured from death). Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
