Anniston, Alabama, Attorney Helping Clients With Workplace Injury Claims
If you have suffered a serious injury while at work, you have the right to be compensated for your injuries, and you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Often people become stressed and overwhelmed by the thought of not being able to work and having to support their families. For the last 30 years, I have represented employees all over Alabama in collecting compensation for all types of work injuries. I know the law and what it takes to handle a claim, in and out of court, and pursue it successfully.
If you have suffered a workplace injury, I want to help make sure you are fairly compensated for your injuries. Contact me today for a free, informative and confidential case evaluation with an experienced personal injury and workers' compensation attorney.
At the law office of Charles H. Rice, Attorney at Law, my firm and I have handled many cases in the Anniston, Calhoun County and the surrounding counties over the years involving a wide variety of injuries and conditions related to on-the-job accidents, including:
- Strains, sprains and torn ligaments and tendons with poor healing
- Herniated and ruptured disks
- Neck, shoulder and back injuries
- Bone fractures and breaks with poor healing
- Closed head injuries
We can also help you with the following types of workplace injuries suffered in an accident or as part of your regular job function over time:
- Loss of hearing or vision
- Burns and chemical exposure
- Occupational disease
- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) and other pain syndromes
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Nerve damage
- Psychological injury coupled with physical injury
- Death
As your personal injury lawyer, I will help you gather evidence to support your claim, including witness statements, medical records and insurance claims proving treatment for your injuries. If your accident occurred as a result of a defective product at work, such as a piece of poorly maintained machinery, I can also help you investigate if a third party claim is also necessary.
I will aggressively negotiate on your behalf with all negligent parties as well as insurance companies to help you recover compensation for all your expenses, including lost wages, medical treatment as well as pain and suffering. If an equitable settlement cannot be reached, I am fully prepared to pursue your case in court, if necessary.
You may also be entitled to workers' compensation for your injuries that occurred from a workplace accident. I can help you navigate this process as well from filing the initial paperwork for a claim to helping you with an appeal if your employer or their insurer denies your application.
Any type of work injury claim must be dealt with timely and properly. It is critical to have your injuries be evaluated and treated by medical professionals, but it is equally important to make sure all your legal options to recovering compensation are explored and exhausted as well. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation to see how I can help you use these options to your advantage.
