General Negligence & Liability Page
Someone Else's Negligence Changed Your Life. Now It's Time to Hold Them Accountable.
Not every personal injury case fits neatly into a single category — but every injured person deserves full and fair compensation. If someone else's careless, reckless, or intentional actions caused your injury, we are here to fight for you.
Some of the most serious personal injury cases in Alabama don't fit cleanly into one specific category — but that doesn't make them any less valid or any less worthy of aggressive legal representation. Whether you suffered a catastrophic injury, lost a loved one to someone else's negligence, were seriously harmed in an incident involving alcohol liability, or experienced any other injury caused by another party's reckless or intentional conduct, you have rights and you deserve justice. At Injured.Support we evaluate every case individually, investigate every angle, and connect you with battle-tested attorneys who have the experience and determination to fight for every dollar you are owed — regardless of how complex or unconventional your situation may be.
Types of General Negligence & Liability Cases We Handle
Wrongful Death Claims
When someone dies as a result of another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim. Alabama's wrongful death statute allows families to pursue justice and compensation on behalf of their loved one. We handle these cases with the utmost compassion and connect families with attorneys who fight tirelessly for the justice they deserve.
Catastrophic & Permanent Injury
Catastrophic injuries — including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe burns — change lives permanently and require lifetime care and support. We investigate catastrophic injury cases thoroughly and connect you with attorneys who understand how to calculate and fight for the full long-term value of your claim.
Dram Shop & Alcohol Liability Claims
Alabama's dram shop laws hold bars, restaurants, and other alcohol-serving establishments liable when they over-serve an intoxicated patron who then causes injury to others. If you were hurt by a drunk driver who was over-served at a licensed establishment, the business itself may share legal liability for your injuries.
Intentional Tort & Assault Cases
When someone intentionally harms you through assault, battery, or other willful misconduct, you may have both criminal and civil legal recourse. A civil intentional tort claim allows you to pursue compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering independent of any criminal proceedings.
Third-Party Negligence Claims
Third-party negligence occurs when a party other than your employer or immediate circumstances is responsible for your injury. These claims can arise in workplace settings, public spaces, and private properties — and often provide the most significant avenue for compensation beyond standard insurance claims.
Burn & Scarring Injuries
Severe burn and scarring injuries caused by another party's negligence — whether from a fire, chemical exposure, defective product, or vehicle accident — can result in permanent disfigurement and require extensive long-term medical treatment. We investigate burn injury cases and connect you with attorneys who fight for full compensation including future care costs.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries are among the most serious and life-altering consequences of personal injury accidents. The long-term cognitive, emotional, and physical effects of a TBI can be devastating for both the victim and their family. We investigate TBI cases thoroughly and connect you with attorneys who understand the full lifetime cost of these injuries.
Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis
Spinal cord injuries resulting in partial or complete paralysis require lifetime medical care, rehabilitation, and support. The financial and emotional toll on victims and their families is enormous. We connect spinal cord injury victims with attorneys who fight aggressively for compensation that reflects the true lifetime impact of their injuries.
What Should You Do If You Were Injured Due to Someone Else's Negligence?
Document Everything
Photograph the scene, your injuries, and any contributing factors as soon as possible. Written notes with dates, times, and details of what happened are critical evidence that supports your claim.
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Get medical treatment immediately even if your injuries seem minor. A thorough and documented medical record is essential for establishing the connection between the negligent act and your injuries.
Identify and Preserve Witnesses
Collect the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the incident or has knowledge of the circumstances. Witness accounts can be powerful evidence in negligence cases and should be secured as quickly as possible
Do Not Speak to Insurance Companies
Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance carrier before speaking with a legal advocate. Insurance companies are motivated to minimize your claim and anything you say can be used against you.

Frequently Asked Questions — General Negligence & Liability in Alabama
What is negligence in Alabama personal injury law?
In Alabama negligence occurs when a person or entity fails to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances and that failure causes harm to another person. To establish a negligence claim you generally need to show that the responsible party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused your injury and damages. We investigate and document all of these elements from day one.
What is Alabama's contributory negligence standard?
Alabama is one of only a few states that follows a pure contributory negligence standard. This means that if you are found to be even one percent at fault for your own injury you may be completely barred from recovering compensation. This makes having an experienced advocate investigating and building your case from the very beginning critically important.
What is a wrongful death claim in Alabama?
A wrongful death claim in Alabama is a legal action brought by the personal representative of a deceased person's estate against the party whose negligence or misconduct caused the death. Unlike many other states Alabama's wrongful death statute focuses on punishing the wrongdoer rather than compensating the family for specific losses. An experienced wrongful death attorney is essential for navigating these unique legal standards.
What are dram shop laws in Alabama?
Alabama's dram shop laws allow injured parties to hold alcohol-serving establishments liable when they over-serve an intoxicated patron who then causes injury to others. If you were hurt by a drunk driver who was over-served at a bar, restaurant, or other licensed establishment, the business may share legal liability for your injuries and losses.
How long do I have to file a negligence claim in Alabama?
Alabama's statute of limitations for most personal injury negligence claims is two years from the date of the injury. Wrongful death claims also have a two-year deadline. Do not wait — evidence disappears quickly and the sooner we begin investigating the stronger your case will be.
What if I am not sure whether I have a valid negligence claim?
That is exactly why we offer a free confidential case evaluation. Many people are unsure whether their situation qualifies — and that uncertainty keeps them from getting the compensation they deserve. Contact us and we will give you an honest assessment of your situation at no cost and with no obligation.
