Premises liability law governs personal injury claims resulting from an injury on someone else’s property, which includes slip and fall accidents
In this area of law, property owners are not always responsible when someone gets hurt on their land, home, or building. That said, premises liability law does dictate the parameters under which they are held legally liable if things go wrong.
Premises liability law outlines the property owners’ obligations to others, including the compensation accident victims can receive.

In the Alabama statutes under Ala. Code § 6-5-345, the degree of duty of care depends on the nature of the business or activity you participated in on the property.
While there could be any number of causes for a slip and fall, these are the most common examples we see in Birmingham:
According to Ala. Code § 6-2-38, an action for a slip and fall claim must begin within two years from the date of injury.
