When an accident resulting in serious injury or death occurs at the workplace, the entire family suffers as the breadwinner is suddenly unable to continue his or her role as provider. Steady guidance is needed to maneuver through the confusing maze of issues surrounding workers' compensation, health insurance, and third-party claims. Is the injured worker entitled to workers' compensation benefits? Should the workers' compensation insurer pay for the hospitalization, or should the family's major medical health insurer step in? When the worker is back on the road to recuperation, is the workers' compensation insurer or the health insurer entitled to be repaid in full from the proceeds of any settlement with a third party?
The firm has assisted in serious workplace injury and death cases throughout Alabama and other states as well. Chemical spills, mechanical device failures and defective signs, electrical machinery, farm equipment, and fires are typical causes of serious injuries or deaths. We have successfully represented injured working men and women and their families in cases involving overhead lifts and hoists, gantry cranes, back hoes, track hoes, tractors without rollover protective structures, closed vessels, boilers, paper machines, bailers, corn headers, fork lifts, aerosol products, chemical cleaners, electrical reclosers and switch panels, logging equipment, and others.
