Frequently Asked Questions

  • What qualifies as a premises liability claim?

    Any injury caused by unsafe property conditions — wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting — may qualify.

  • Can I still file a claim if there was a warning sign?

    Possibly. A sign doesn’t excuse all liability. We’ll assess whether reasonable care was taken.

  • Do I have to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?

    Yes, or that they should have known. Our team investigates how long the danger existed and what was (or wasn’t) done about it.

  • Is there a time limit to file a slip and fall case in Alabama?

    Yes. Alabama has a two-year statute of limitations — but the sooner you call, the stronger your case.
