Statute of Limitations
Alabama Code § 6-2-38 provides a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury product liability. Alabama's statute of repose (Ala. Code § 6-5-502) bars claims more than 10 years after the date the product was first sold. Alabama is a pure contributory negligence state — any plaintiff fault, however slight, bars recovery entirely. Alabama courts have been relatively defendant-favorable in mass tort litigation.
