Huntsville Workers Compensation Lawyers
Huntsville Workers Compensation Lawyers: What if I was a Part Time Employee? What are My Rights? Through the years the Birmingham Job Injury attorneys at Powell and Denny have spoken to numerous injured workers who believed 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 case.
Alabama’s Workers Compensation Statute defines an employee/worker as “every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written….” The number of hours you work each work is only relevant in determining your average weekly wage. As long as the injured worker can show that (i) they were hurt at work, (ii) that their employer has 5 or more regular employees, (iii) that they were hurt at work while performing their job duties and (iv) that they provided timely notice of being hurt at work to their employer, then they have a valid workers comp claim and are entitled to all right provided by the Alabama Workers Compensation laws.
If you work in the Metro Huntsville region*-or anywhere in the North Alabama and Tennessee Valley area- you have suffered a job injury and you have questions about your rights under the Alabama Workers Compensation system, please do not hesitate to contact and speak with one of the experienced Huntsville Job Injury attorneys at POWELL AND DENNY and schedule a free consultation and let us see if we can help.
