North Alabama Workers’ Compensation Attorney QUESTIONS | Huntsville Construction Workers’ Accident Lawyers | Alabama Workplace Accident Law Firm// Through the years our attorneys have spoken to numerous injured workers who thought that their work injury would not be covered under Alabama’s workers compensation laws because they were a part time employee-this is simply not the Read More
Read MoreWhat do I do if my boss refuses to file Injury Report?
More often than you would think, we receive a call for a worker who was hurt at work who is complaining that their employer refuses to file an Injury Report. The reason most often given is that the injured workers’ boss simply does not believe that they are injured, but the reason behind why an Read More
Read MoreCan my boss force me to see the doctor on my own time?
Yes, if it is possible for you to do so. If you can still perform your job duties given your injuries, or if your employer has made accommodations for your injuries and you are working for pay, then your employer can ask that any doctor appointments or physical therapy appointments be made during your off-hours.

Read MoreWhat happens if I Quit my job?
The fact that you may have quit your job does not mean that your injuries are no longer covered by your former employers’ workmans’ compensation coverage.

Injuries suffered during lunch break have been held to be one type of said injuries when the injury occurs at an appropriate time Read More
Read MoreAm I entitled to workers’ comp benefits if my work injury aggravated an old injury?
I honestly cannot tell you the number of times we have received a call from an injured worker who called us because the workers compensation adjuster told them that their job injury was not the result of the job accident they were recently involved in, but rather was due to some old injury. I wish Read More

Can my Employer Force me to work outside my work restrictions? NO. If you suffered a job injury and were given work restrictions as a result, your employer has two choices: (i) they can either make sure that they accommodate your work restrictions or (ii) they can tell you that they do not have any Read More
Read MoreCan my employer cut my pay after my job injury?
Can my employer cut my pay after my job injury? Unfortunately, unless you have a contract which sets forth your rate of pay, the answer is generally yes, but there are remedies available. If, due to a job injury, you are not able earn-or your employer is not willing to pay you-the same wages you Read More
