Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Alabama?
In Alabama, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, the claim cannot be filed more than four years after the act that caused the injury, even if the injury was not discovered until later.
What do I need to prove in an Alabama medical malpractice case?
You must show that the healthcare provider had a duty to care for you, that they breached the standard of care, and that this breach directly caused your injury. Alabama law also requires you to submit an expert affidavit from a qualified medical professional before filing the lawsuit.
Can I sue a hospital in Athens for a doctors mistake?
