Q. injury of a minor 2+ years ago we had no knowledge of. Can we still be sued?

6 January 2021

A: In Alabama, if a personal injury occurs to a minor, that minor can file a lawsuit up until the day the minor turns 21. There's a 2-year statute of limitations for injuries due to negligence, but that 2 years doesn't start to run until the injured person turns 19 years old.

Q. We are filing a wrongful death suit for my dads death. How are damaged disbursed in a wrongful death case in alabama

26 May 2020

A: Alabama handles wrongful death damages different than most (if not all) other states. In Alabama, the only damages recoverable for wrongful death are PUNITIVE damages. Compensatory damages such as pain, suffering, economic loss, etc. are not recoverable in Alabama. In addition, although the estates personal representative is the one who actually brings the lawsuit, the damages are payable directly to the HEIRS

Q. Are there grounds for an individual such as myself to sue a pharmaceutical manufacturer for opioid addiction?

14 April 2020

A: Possibly. There are a number of law firms around the country who have been investigating individual cases for persons affected by opioid addiction. At this point, I am unaware of any people who have actually received compensation for this. Various legal theories are being explored and it's not really clear at this point to what extent this type of case will be successful or what the ultimate criteria might be for a successful case. A simple Google search should identify law firms handling/exploring these types of cases and I would recommend that you begin by contacting one of them.
