What is the deadline in Alabama?

Alabama applies a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability 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.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Alabama's large agricultural sector and warm climate make Roundup use widespread among cotton, soybean, and peanut farmers. Residents who used glyphosate herbicides regularly and developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma should evaluate their legal options before the statute of limitations expires.
