How fault works

PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery

When a pedestrian is struck, Alabama's at-fault system holds the responsible driver liable — but the state's pure contributory negligence rule is especially harsh here. If a pedestrian is found even 1% at fault, for crossing outside a crosswalk or against a signal, recovery can be barred completely. That makes the details of right of way and crosswalk law central to these cases. Alabama generally allows two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury claim. Because a small finding of fault can end a pedestrian's case, FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Alabama attorney who can evaluate the circumstances.

  • Investigate what happened and identify who is responsible
  • Deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to
  • Track the 2 years filing deadline so you never miss it
  • Pursue the compensation you're actually owed

Frequently asked questions

What if I was crossing outside a crosswalk when I was hit?

Alabama's pure contributory negligence rule means even a small share of fault can bar recovery, so where and how you crossed may be scrutinized. Whether it defeats a claim depends on the specific facts, which an independent attorney can assess.

How long do I have to bring a pedestrian accident claim in Alabama?

Alabama generally sets a two-year deadline from the date of the incident to file a personal injury claim. Acting well before then helps preserve evidence like signal timing and witness accounts; FaultFreeClaims can match you with an attorney.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Alabama follows this rule: PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery. Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows Alabama law before assuming you have no case.
