Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences anyone can endure, and when that loss is due to someone else’s negligence, the grief can feel overwhelming. At such a difficult time, the last thing you should have to worry about is financial strain.

How Is Wrongful Death Defined in Alabama?
As laid out in Ala. Code § 6-5-410, wrongful death is defined as a “wrongful act, omission, or negligence causing death.” In simple terms, if someone could have filed a personal injury lawsuit had their injury not resulted in death, there may be a valid wrongful death claim to file on their behalf. Examples of accidents that often lead to wrongful death claims are:
- Car wrecks, collisions with big trucks, and motorcycle accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls on dangerous premises
- Medical errors

Floyd Hunter Fights for YouJeff Hunter did a great job for me. He was easy to talk to and was very honest about my case and what it would take to reach a good outcome for me. Jeff fought hard for as much money as he could get from the insurance company for me and we were able to settle my case. Jeff will always return your phone call or respond to your emails in a timely manner. I would hire Jeff again and would certainly recommend him if you have had a personal injury.

-Laqundon D.Filing an Alabama Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Alabama wrongful death claims differ from most other states due to both who is eligible to file a claim, and the types of damages that can be recovered. In Alabama, only the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family. Alabama law only allows for the recovery of punitive damages, which are intended to punish the wrongdoer rather than compensate for specific losses like medical bills or lost income.
Alabama’s Statute of Limitations on Wrongful Death Claims
In Alabama, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is 2 years from the date of the deceased person’s passing. If the claim is not filed within these 2 years, the right to seek compensation may be permanently lost. This deadline makes it important to consult with a wrongful death lawyer in Montgomery as soon as possible to ensure your family’s rights are protected and justice can be pursued.
