Yes. Any soliciting (direct mail, media advertising, etc.) in Alabama may cause an out-of-state company doing business in Alabama to be named in a tort (civil wrong) lawsuit by an affected Alabama resident, even if the company does not have an office in Alabama and the alleged wrong took place in another state.
