Are you worried about how to pay your bills while you are out of work?

If so, give us a call. You never know how precious your health is until you lose it. Maybe it happened in an accident—you were loading boxes and slipped on the dock, or you were around some heated machinery and suffered a burn injury. Maybe it happened slowly—after 15 years of data entry, your fingers start feeling tingly and numb.

If you are injured on the job, you are entitled to worker’s compensation. Also known as workers’ comp or workman’s comp, the disability benefits that you get are based on the extent of the impairment or injury. If you have been injured on the job, contact Turner & Miller. Our Alabama workers compensation attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Why Hire a Lawyer?

Workers’ comp benefits are based on the extent of your disability. The laws in Alabama are not favorable to the employee. If the disability is partial, you get a maximum of 300 weeks of compensation—about 6 ½ years. If the disability is permanent and total, you could get benefits for life.

In order to receive the benefits you need to pay your bills and provide for your family, you need to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side. An attorney can ensure that the calculations for your benefits are correct. There is a physical impairment rating and a vocational impairment rating. The law states that you are entitled to be compensated based on the impairment on your ability to earn, not just your physical impairment rating that is usually given by the doctor. However, the insurance company may try to pay you solely based on your doctor’s physical impairment rating. That usually results in a much lower settlement offer. A lawyer can help your properly evaluate your case by taking ALL factors allowed by law into account. The attorney’s fees are limited by statute in Alabama. You cannot afford not to have an attorney if you have suffered a permanent injury on the job. Click here for a free report on what you need to know about workers’ compensation in Alabama.

Additionally, even though it is illegal to fire someone for making a workers’ compensation claim, it often happens. An attorney can challenge a wrongful termination.

Finally, you may be entitled to more than you think. You may be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit, enabling you to collect more.

Also, no matter how desperate you may feel, you should usually not accept the first settlement offer you get. Chances are your case is worth more than is initially offered.
