Lawyer for Work-Related Injuries
Who we are
Hunter & Everage is a workers’ compensation attorney in the Montgomery, AL, area.
What we do
Handling workers’ compensation claims, we understand what benefits you should receive and can represent you at hearings or trials and negotiate on your behalf.
How we do it
With 35 years of combined legal experience, we understand the workers’ compensation system. We know how insurance companies work to minimize benefits when people deserve them and utilize our knowledge to help you secure the benefits you deserve.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation
In Alabama, a company with five or more employees must have workers’ compensation coverage. People hurt on the job can seek benefits through this coverage. While you don’t have to prove the employer caused the accident, you must show you were hurt in the course of employment and that your case doesn’t fall under one of the limited exceptions.
Qualifying workers may receive weekly replacement compensation, based on average earnings before the injury. You may also receive direct medical care and rehabilitation at no cost and compensation for permanent partial disability or total disability payments for injury remaining after reaching maximum medical improvement.
To receive these benefits, you must file a workers’ compensation claim. Understanding what you deserve and the right steps to claim your benefits can be complicated. Having a worker’s compensation attorney like Hunter & Everage to handle your claim gives you a strong advantage when facing insurance companies and an unfamiliar process.
If there is a person or party other than your employer with legal liability, you may also file a traditional lawsuit for compensation. If this is appropriate for your situation, our lawyers can assist you in both situations.
How a Lawyer Can Represent You
Workers’ compensation may sound straightforward, but with insurance companies looking to pay as little as possible, claims can quickly become complicated.
Hunter & Everage can represent you in a variety of ways, including the following:
- Guiding you through what to do after the accident, including how to report
- Determining benefits you deserve
- Responding to allegations that you are disqualified from benefits
- Preserving evidence, talking to witnesses
- Explaining how the process works and what you need to do
- Requesting a hearing or appeal, representing you in hearings
- Addressing issues in getting your medical care
- Evaluating your disability rating
- Negotiating your case
- Answering questions, providing guidance
While any workplace injury claim can be complex, we identify the important issues and use our legal representation to pursue your benefits.
