How Alabama law treats apartment fire injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Alabama is one of a handful of states that still applies pure contributory negligence: if the injured person bears any share of the fault, however small, the claim is barred entirely.
Contributory negligence pleaded as an affirmative defense under Ala. R. Civ. P. 8(c)
Damage caps
Alabama caps neither ordinary personal-injury damages nor medical-malpractice damages. The state's $400,000 malpractice cap was struck down as unconstitutional and has not been replaced.
Moore v. Mobile Infirmary Ass'n, 592 So. 2d 156 (Ala. 1991)
Claims against government
A claim against an Alabama municipality must be filed within six months of the injury.
Ala. Code § 11-47-23
