We 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. It is understandable that the injured worker might think otherwise; they were off the clock and not working when they fell, and their boss may have even indicated that such an injury Read More
Read MoreDo 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 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?

In Alabama, workers compensation trials are bench trials, which Read More
