Interference With Business Relations Tortious Interference Statute Of Limitations in Alabama

The Alabama Code governs the statute of limitations for tortious interference with business relations. Ala. Code § 6-2-38 establishes a two-year limitation period for this specific claim. This means a plaintiff must file a lawsuit alleging tortious interference within two years from the date the cause of action accrues, which typically occurs when the plaintiff discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, the interference and resulting injury. The verified figure of two years is derived directly from the statutory language available through the official source. The worked example below illustrates how this two-year period applies to a straightforward accrual scenario.
