How fault works

PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery

A slip, trip, or fall at a business or on someone's property can lead to a premises liability claim in Alabama's at-fault system, where the negligent property owner may be responsible for your injuries. But Alabama's pure contributory negligence rule is a major hurdle: if you are found even 1% at fault — for not watching where you stepped or ignoring a warning sign — recovery can be barred entirely. That makes evidence of the hazard and the owner's knowledge of it especially important. You generally have two years from the date of the fall to file a personal injury claim. Because owners and their insurers often argue the visitor was careless, FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Alabama attorney.

What a connected attorney can do

  • Investigate what happened and identify who is responsible
  • Deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to
  • Track the 2 years filing deadline so you never miss it
  • Pursue the compensation you're actually owed

Frequently asked questions

The store says I should have seen the hazard — can I still recover?

Alabama's pure contributory negligence rule means any fault assigned to you, even 1%, can bar recovery, so 'open and obvious' arguments are common in fall cases. Whether they succeed depends on the facts, which is why many injured visitors have an attorney review the claim.

What do I need to prove in an Alabama slip and fall case?

Generally you must show the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to address it. An independent attorney can help gather that evidence within the two-year deadline — FaultFreeClaims can refer you to one.

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.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Alabama follows this rule: PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery. Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows Alabama law before assuming you have no case.
