Deadlines vary by claim type, so confirm yours with a Huntsville workers' compensation attorney as soon as possible."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How soon do I have to report a work injury in Alabama?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Alabama law says you must give your employer written notice within five days after the accident, and compensation is not payable unless written notice is given within 90 days, unless you have a legally accepted excuse (Ala. Code \u00a7 25-5-78). Report it in writing right away."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which employers have to carry workers' compensation in Alabama?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"According to the Alabama Department of Workforce, any business with five or more employees, other than contractors, is required to have workers' compensation coverage. Whether you are an employee or a contractor depends on the facts."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does workers' compensation pay in Alabama?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"For total disability, benefits are generally based on two-thirds (66 2\/3 percent) of your average weekly earnings from the 52 weeks before the injury, up to a maximum set by the state for your date of injury. Your exact benefit depends on your facts."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I choose my own doctor for a work injury?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Alabama Department of Workforce says the employer or carrier directs care, and your employer's chosen provider treats you, except in an emergency. If you are not getting the care you need, talk with an attorney."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I sue someone else if I was hurt at work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Often, yes. Alabama law lets an injured worker collect workers' compensation and also bring a claim against a third party whose fault caused the injury (Ala. Code \u00a7 25-5-11). The employer may have a right to be paid back from that recovery."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What should I do if my workers' compensation claim is denied?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Keep the denial letter, keep getting treatment, and talk with an attorney quickly.
