01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Alabama?
Alabama has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury. For minors, the clock is tolled until the child turns 19 (age of majority in Alabama). Consumer protection claims under the Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act have a 1-year limitation. 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 follows contributory negligence, one of the most restrictive doctrines in the country — if a plaintiff is found even 1% at fault, they recover nothing. Parents filing video game addiction claims must demonstrate that the child's addiction and harm were entirely attributable to the game publisher's predatory design, not parental oversight failures.
