Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Huntsville, AL

Hurt in a motorcycle crash in Huntsville, AL? Insurers often argue riders share the blame, so the state's fault rule matters, along with the filing deadline and helmet rule.

  • Deadline: Alabama generally allows 2 years from the date of injury for all personal injury tort actions to file an injury lawsuit (Ala. Code § 6-2-38).
  • Fault rule: Contributory negligence: if you are found even slightly at fault, recovery can be barred entirely (limited exceptions exist). (Case law — John Cowley & Bros., Inc. v. Brown, 569 So. 2d 375)
  • Helmet rule: Universal — all motorcycle operators and passengers must wear protective headgear meeting standards established by § 32-12-41 (helmet specifications) (Ala. Code § 32-5A-245 (headgear and shoes required); Ala. Code § 32-12-41 (helmet specifications — hard exterior shell, shock-absorbent cradle, impact-resistant padding, chin strap required at all times while in motion)).
