Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can occur in any industry and range from minor incidents to catastrophic accidents. Common workplace injuries include:
Slip and Falls: Caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained workspaces.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: Such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis from repeated physical tasks.
Equipment Accidents: Involving heavy machinery, tools, or malfunctioning equipment.
Exposure to Hazardous Substances: Resulting in illnesses or long-term health conditions.
Construction Accidents: Including falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, and electrical injuries.
If you’ve suffered any of these or other workplace injuries, you may be entitled to compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims
In Alabama, most workplace injuries are covered under workers’ compensation. This system provides benefits regardless of fault but may not fully compensate for all your losses. However, you may also have grounds for a personal injury claim if:
A third party (not your employer or coworker) caused your injury.
Your injury resulted from defective equipment or tools.
Your employer’s gross negligence led to your injury.
Our experienced attorneys at Simmons Law will evaluate your case to determine the best course of action to secure maximum compensation.
