Question:
What are the statute of limitations for a car accident claim in Alabama?
Answer:
The statute of limitations, or the period within which you must either resolve a car accident claim or file a lawsuit to preserve your claim, is two years in Alabama. We have people who come to us a year and 11 months into the process. We quickly move to file suit and try to find witnesses and investigate. It’s almost always a mistake to wait that long. You have to move quickly. If you have a serious accident, with serious injuries, you can’t wait. The insurance company has taken that time to defend the case. They’re going to get their ducks in a row to try to find some reason to either not pay your claim or to pay minimum value. The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can build your claim in a fashion that maximizes the value of the case. We can help you if you’ve waited, but don’t wait. Move quickly. Get in touch with us as quickly as you can after you’ve dealt with your injuries.
