Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Birmingham
Birmingham residents near industrial EtO-emitting facilities must navigate Alabama's pure contributory negligence rule — one of only four states that bars recovery entirely if the plaintiff bears any fault. In EtO environmental exposure cases, this is generally manageable because residents had no knowledge of or control over industrial emissions. Alabama's 2-year statute of limitations from diagnosis requires prompt filing, and the UAB O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center provides proximity to expert oncology testimony.
