In this case, the Alabama Insurance Guaranty Association (AIGA) filed a lawsuit against the Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board of the City of Montgomery, seeking to recover money it had paid on a worker's compensation claim. The circuit court limited AIGA's recovery to payments made within two years before the lawsuit was filed and denied AIGA's request for attorney fees.
AIGA appealed, and the Court of Civil Appeals reversed the judgement, stating that AIGA's claims were subject to a six-year statute of limitations. The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the decision, agreeing that a six-year statute of limitations applied to AIGA's claim.
