Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted the defendants' petitions for writs of mandamus, holding that the plaintiffs' medical‑malpractice claims accrued on October 24, 2019 and are barred by the four‑year period of repose in § 6‑5‑482(a), and that mandamus review is proper when a complaint’s face shows a claim is time‑barred, allowing the trial court’s denial of the motions to dismiss to be vacated.
