We Provide Attentive Legal Service
As an injured worker, you may be experiencing a problem common to many: You may feel that the insurance adjustor and your own employer are not taking your concerns seriously. Your injuries most likely have you laid up at home, leaving ample time for you to ponder and worry about paying your bills and medical treatment. Our attorneys understand your concerns, and we take them very seriously. We communicate regularly with our clients — we do not leave you to sit around and wonder what is going on with your workers' compensation claim.
Do You Have Questions?
Our firm has compiled a list of workers' compensation frequently asked questions. Among these questions are the following:
- What benefits are available?
- How will I receive compensation?
- How long will this case take?
- How will I pay my medical bills?
- Do I have a choice about the doctor I see?
- Is the insurance adjuster on my side?
- What if I get fired or can't return to my previous job?
- Do I have a third-party claim if my work injury was caused by the negligence of someone else, defective machinery, removal of a safety device, or a car or truck accident?
Most workers' compensation cases settle prior to a trial. All settlements under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act must be approved by a judge or by the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations. Whether in settlement negotiations or in the courtroom, our lawyers can protect your best interests and your rights to compensation.
If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits or are Medicare eligible, it is important that any settlement you receive comply with certain requirements of these agencies.
It is also important to note that the amount of benefits you receive could change depending on the stage of your recovery. These laws can be interpreted in many ways, and Gale & Gale, P.C., can ensure these laws are interpreted correctly.
Additionally, we have access to medical experts, economic experts, vocational experts and others who provide us and the insurance adjusters with a comprehensive view of your injuries.
