FAQs

Get Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions about Wrongful Death Lawyers in Birmingham

Here are answers to some common questions to help you better understand your rights and the legal process:

Under Alabama code § 6-2-38, you have only two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This time limit is called the statute of limitations. If you don’t act within two years, you risk losing your right to seek compensation on behalf of your loved one’s estate.

In Birmingham, a wrongful death claim can typically be filed by the spouse and children of the deceased. If the deceased had no children, only the spouse can file. If there is no spouse or children, other legal heirs, such as parents or grandparents, may have the right to file.

In Birmingham, wrongful death claims typically focus on punitive damages. These damages are meant to punish the responsible party and send a strong message about the severity of the wrongdoing. They are not intended to compensate for specific losses like medical bills or lost wages. These damages can provide significant financial support for your family.

A wrongful death action is filed in civil court.  Although manslaughter charges or other charges may arise from wrongful death situations, they are brought by prosecutors.  We focus on wrongful death lawsuits, helping you seek justice and compensation for your loss.
