You Don't Have to Face This Alone
If your loved one was killed by someone else's reckless, careless, or negligent actions, pursuing a wrongful death claim is one way to hold the responsible party accountable — even though no amount of money can undo the loss.
Understanding Alabama's Wrongful Death Statute
Alabama's wrongful death law works differently than most states'. A claim can only be filed by the personal representative of the deceased — meaning you, or another family member, must first be appointed personal representative through the probate court before a lawsuit can be filed. We can help guide you through that process, then gather the evidence needed to build the strongest possible case.
If your family member was injured in a way that may later prove fatal, don't wait: Alabama law makes it important to speak with an attorney and, if necessary, file suit before their death in order to preserve certain rights.

You Have Two Years — Not More
Alabama's statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is two years from the date of your loved one's death. There is no extension for grief, for a slow-moving insurance company, or for indecision. The sooner you speak with a Birmingham wrongful death lawyer, the more options remain open.
