What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal Injury Law is a legal practice area that deals with cases where individuals suffer harm due to someone else's negligence or intentional wrongdoing.

FAQs
Does my landlord have to make repairs?
Alabama law requires landlords to meet applicable duties concerning a fit and habitable home. For qualifying material noncompliance, Alabama Code § 35-9A-401 provides a written-notice procedure that may allow lease termination if the breach is not remedied within the statutory period. The notice must identify the problem and the proposed termination date, which must be at least 14 days after receipt. Remedies depend on the condition, cause, notice, and other facts. Do not assume a repair complaint automatically permits withholding rent; ask a lawyer about the proper steps.
What if my landlord cut my utilities?
A landlord may not use a lockout or willful interruption of essential services to force a tenant out. Under Alabama Code § 35-9A-407, a qualifying tenant may recover possession or terminate the rental agreement and may recover an amount up to three months’ periodic rent or actual damages, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney fees. This is not an automatic three-times-rent award in every utility dispute. Preserve utility records, messages, photos, and receipts, and seek prompt advice about restoring service and available remedies.
Do they have to give me a notice before serving me an eviction lawsuit?
A termination notice and service of an eviction lawsuit are different steps. The required notice and opportunity to cure depend on the tenancy, the alleged breach, the lease, and any additional state or federal protections. A seven-day notice is common in Alabama residential nonpayment cases, but it is not a universal rule for every eviction. Send the lease, notice, delivery details, summons, and complaint for review. Once a lawsuit is served, do not assume the earlier notice period extends your court response deadline.
Can they evict me without going to court?
No, in Alabama landlords must file an “unlawful detainer” action with the court. Only after a landlord wins in court could a sheriff expel you from the property.
