Lung cancer death claims in Alabama must be filed within 2 years of diagnosis under Ala. Code § 6-2-30, with the discovery rule starting the clock at diagnosis rather than the date of exposure. Alabama’s contributory negligence rule can bar recovery if the decedent’s own conduct contributed to exposure, making employer knowledge and workplace safety records central to lung cancer death cases. Asbestos, radon, and silica exposure are leading causes, and Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys represents lung cancer victims across Alabama.
