If the liable party is an uninsured motorist, you might have six years if you carry such insurance in Alabama.

The statute of limitations expires two years from the date of injury unless you were a minor at the time of the accident-then it expires two years from your 18th birthday.

The statute of limitations is two years absent any conditions such as you are a minor.
