North Alabama Workmen's Compensation Attorney

If you or someone you care about has suffered an accident at work* while working in North Alabama**, then you are entitled to Workmen's Compensation benefits. Workers' compensation claims arise from situations where workers are hurt at work. In Alabama, persons who are injured at work (where their employer regularly employees 5 or more persons) are restricted to recovery based upon the our Workers' Compensation Statute.

In an Workmen's Comp claim in Alabama, the injured worker is typically not entitled to the same compensation they would receive in a personal injury claim, such as for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Typically, you are NOT entitled to punitive damages, reimbursement for 100% of your lost income or money for mental anguish or pain and suffering. Under the Alabama Workers' Compensation laws, if the injured worker can show that (i) he/she were injured at work (ii) while performing their job duties and (iii) that timely notice of said injury was provided to their employer, they are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, which include: (a) payment for all of the workers' reasonably necessary medical treatment, (b) reimburse the worker for mileage in driving back and forth for medical treatment or to receive medications; (c) paying the worker 2/3rds of their average weekly wage when off work pursuant to the advice of a physician treating them for their job injuries (until the date they reach maximum medical improvement) and (d) payment of compensation to the injured worker for any permanent physical impairment sustained as a result of an on-the-job injury; if your injury is a non-scheduled injury, you may also be entitled to vocational compensation.
