Property Law

• Premises Liability
  A private landowner may be immune from some or all liability due to injuries that occurred when he or she made it available for recreational use. Camping, hiking, and canoeing are primary examples of the recreational use statute.

• Property Damage
  The state of Alabama requires all of its drivers to carry car insurance in the form of property damage liability and bodily injury liability coverage. This is because Alabama is an at-fault car insurance state, which means that if an accident happens, the at-fault driver will be responsible for paying for damages sustained by the not-at-fault driver, such as property damage and medical bills. In order to handle these costs, the at-fault driver turns to their car insurance policy.
