Hurt on the job? You have rights.
Guidance for workers hurt on the job and navigating the comp system — benefits, treatment, and what to do when the employer pushes back.
Start where you actually are.
Tap the one that sounds like your week. It goes straight to a real person.
The benefits are owed. Getting them isn’t automatic.
Your employer’s insurance must pay your medical bills and lost wages. Full benefits take a fight more often than they should.
Workplace accidents
- Falls and falling objects
- Machinery mishaps
- Industrial & construction accidents
- On-duty vehicle accidents
Lasting injuries
- Back, neck & shoulder injuries
- Cervical & lumbar damage
- Permanent disability ratings
Occupational disease
- Toxic exposure & lung disease
- Repetitive stress
- Psychiatric injury from a workplace accident
Death benefits
- Fatal workplace accidents
- Work-induced heart attack
- Head injury
And if a third party caused the injury — a manufacturer, a subcontractor, a driver — we pursue that claim too, alongside the comp case.
How we help
Your employer’s insurance company must pay your medical bills and lost wages after a workplace injury. But the full benefits you’re owed are not automatic — and the system isn’t built to volunteer them.
We help workers in Madison County and across northern Alabama secure comp benefits, including permanent disability. The work is unglamorous and decisive: reviewing the medical records, sending clients for re-evaluation when the company doctor’s opinion doesn’t match reality, and taking depositions from treating physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists, and vocational rehabilitation experts until the record shows what the injury actually took from you.
In most injury matters you owe no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. The fee agreement goes in plain writing before anything starts. And if you can’t come to us, we come to you — hospital and home visits available.
Matters we handle
- Comp claims, denials & appeals
- Medical treatment disputes
- Return-to-work issues
- Permanent disability benefits
- Third-party injury claims (manufacturers, subcontractors, drivers)
- Death benefits
The record
Workers’ comp is where this firm has done some of its most stubborn work:
Every matter is different. Past results do not predict or guarantee outcomes.
How it works
What to bring to the first call
Don’t organize anything. Bring what you have — we’ve seen shoeboxes and we’ve seen spreadsheets, and both turned into wins.
- The incident report, if one exists
- Medical records and restrictions
- Recent pay stubs
Common questions
Alabama law prohibits retaliatory discharge for comp claims. If it happens anyway, that’s a second claim — and we handle those too.
No. Denials often come down to paperwork gaps and missed deadlines, not the merits of your injury. We rebuild the file — records, evaluations, expert opinions — and push the claim back through.
The initial consultation is free, and we’ll explain fees clearly before you commit to anything.
