What Are My Rights if I caused my injury
Birmingham Job Injury Lawyer What Are My Rights if I caused my injury? It is not unusual for an injured worker to call our office with the question of whether they are entitled to workers compensation benefits if they accidentally caused their job injury. In the vast majority of the cases, the answer is YES.
Our workers compensation system is Alabama is essentially a “no fault” system. That means that even in the situation where a worker inadvertently causes or sets into motion the events which lead to their job injury, they are still entitled to Alabama workers compensation benefits. Now if the worker was goofing off, under the influence of alcohol or drugs or not doing their job duties, the injury would not be covered, but pretty much any other type of injury would be covered.
If you work in or out of Alabama, you have suffered a job injury and you have been told that you are not entitled to workers compensation benefits because of your mistake, don’t give up!
