Frequently Asked Questions
Do I qualify for workers’ comp if I was injured at work?
If you were injured while performing job duties — whether in a factory, field, or office — you likely qualify under Alabama law.
How long do I have to report my injury?
You should report your injury as soon as possible. Alabama law generally requires notice within 5 days to preserve your rights.
Can I see my own doctor?
In most cases, your employer or their insurance company chooses the treating physician. We can help challenge improper treatment.
What if I already returned to work — can I still file?
Yes. Returning to work does not prevent you from receiving benefits for lost wages or long-term medical costs.
