Workers' compensation
Hurt on the job?
Steven worked his way through school as a laborer, equipment operator, and tugboat deckhand. He knows what a workplace injury does to a family's paycheck.
What workers' comp covers
Alabama's workers' compensation system is meant to cover medical treatment for a job injury and part of the wages you lose while you recover, and in some cases benefits for a lasting impairment.
Claims get delayed, underpaid, or denied, and it helps to have someone in your corner who knows how the system works.
Protect your claim
- Report the injury to your employer in writing right away. Alabama's notice deadlines are short.
- Get medical care and tell the provider the injury happened at work.
- Keep copies of everything you sign or receive.
