If you sustain an injury or become ill while you are at work, you might be eligible for workers' compensation. Even if the injury or illness occurred outside of your regular job functions, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Even if the injury was your fault, you might still be eligible for compensation.
The experienced attorneys at Donohoe & Stapleton, LLC, help workers get fair and just compensation for workplace injuries or illnesses. Our attorneys can help you seek payment for workers' comp claims, including compensation for permanent disability, lost wages or salary, rehab expenses, retraining costs, and dependents' recovery after death.
When you make a workers' compensation claim, it limits your rights to other remedies against a negligent employer. Filing a personal injury claim instead can include compensation for general damages and pain and suffering. Our attorneys at Donohoe & Stapleton, LLC, are skilled at analyzing whether you should waive your workers' comp claim and seek recovery for negligence through a personal injury claim.
If your workers' compensation claim is denied, do not get discouraged. You have a limited time to appeal the decision, and we can help you successfully maneuver through the complex bureaucratic process. Our attorneys are experts when it comes to appealing to the Alabama workers' compensation board.
