Can 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.

What 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. The workmans’ comp carrier is still responsible for your medical treatment and compensation whether you still work for the same employer or not. However, quitting your job could affect Read More
Read MoreWe Are Disability Lawyers
When I tell folks that I am a disability lawyer, I am generally met by a confused look and the statement “A disability lawyer?” For some reason people do not believe that practicing in the field of social security disability and workers’ compensation law sounds very interesting; but while there may not be any television Read More
Read MoreDo I have a workman’s compensation claim if I was injured while leaving work?
Many workers are surprised when we tell them that an injury suffered while leaving work can still be a compensable workers compensation claim.

Do I have a workers’ comp claim if I was injured during lunch break?
Maybe. Alabama law holds that injuries which are suffered while an employee is conducting activities incidental to their employment-acts necessary to the life, comfort or convenience of the employee-may be compensable injuries. 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
Read MoreWhat if my injury occurred due to a fall in the bathroom?
What if my injury occurred due to a fall in the bathroom? Through the years, the attorneys at Powell and Denny have spoken to hundreds of workers who were hurt at work, and many of these injured workers were injured when they slipped and fell in the bathroom. Sometimes the worker seems slightly embarrassed at Read More
Read MoreCan my Employer Force me to work outside my work restrictions?
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
Read MoreDo I have a Right to a Jury Trial?
Do I have a Right to a Jury Trial. Most injured workers know that they have a right to a trial on their workers compensation case, and most of them believe that this includes a right to a jury trial; this simply is not the case. In Alabama, workers compensation trials are bench trials, which Read More
