Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa is about an hour southwest of Birmingham on I-20/59, home to the University of Alabama and busy game-day weekends that flood the roads. McFarland Boulevard, the interstate and the streets around campus see heavy traffic and plenty of pedestrians. Crashes in the city are handled by the Tuscaloosa Police Department, with state troopers on the interstate.

Civil cases from here are filed at the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse, 714 Greensboro Avenue. Alabama’s same fault rule and two-year deadline apply, as our deadline table explains.
