What is the deadline in Alabama?
Alabama has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Ala. Code § 6-2-38. Alabama has no general discovery rule; in toxic exposure cases, the claim accrues when a manifest, present injury occurs (Griffin v. Unocal Corp., 990 So. 2d 291 (Ala. 2008)). A lawyer can confirm yours.
