 In most instances, if you have been injured
on the job, you cannot sue your employer.
Workers' Compensation is your only remedy.
However, if third party negligence
contributed to your personal injury, you may
have a claim for damages.For example, if
you were injured at your place of employment
due to faulty machinery or defective
materials, you may be able to pursue a
personal injury or products liability claim
against the manufacturer. Also, if your
injuries prevent you from working, you may
be eligible for Social Security Disability
insurance. For information about your
situation, contact an Alabama Workers'
Compensation Lawyer immediately.
Discrimination May Be Involved in
Workers' Compensation Claims
Discriminatory practices based on the
Americans with Disabilities Act can occur in
an employer's attempt to bring an injured
party back to work on "light duty" to
circumvent the Workers' Compensation claim.
If this has happened to you, our
discrimination in
employment issues attorneys may be able
to help you.
