Huntsville Workers Compensation Lawyers
Huntsville Workers Compensation Lawyers: Fell in the Bathroom: What are My Rights? Through the years, the attorneys at Powell and Denny have spoken to hundreds of workers who were hurt at work, and some of these workers were hurt when they slipped and fell in the restroom. Sometimes the worker seems slightly embarrassed at how their injury occurred, but they really shouldn’t. A fall in the bathroom is no different than a slip and fall in the middle of your workplace.
Some workers have been led to believe that a fall which occurred in the bathroom is not considered a job injury; this simply is not the truth. Alabama law recognizes that certain activities performed by workers may not be solely for the benefit of their employer, but that the actions are incidental to employment, and injuries sustained while performing these incidental activities are also covered by workers compensation. Allowing appropriate bathroom breaks is certainly incidental to employment and these injuries should be covered unless the injured worker was goofing off at the time of their injury.
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.
