Injuries that are suffered while you are acting within the line and scope of your employment are covered under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act. The Alabama Workers' Compensation Act is designed to be liberally interpreted in favor of the injured worker. This means most any injury that you might suffer while working is an injury that would entitle you to workers' compensation benefits. Things like falling, or being struck by equipment are covered, but so are cumulative injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
For a more detailed description of some of the commonly suffered injuries, check out the knowledge center on the right, and see if your particular injury is listed.
Some injuries are not considered work-related. If your injury was the result of you being intoxicated, or under the influence of mind-altering substances, then the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act is reluctant to provide compensation. Also, injuries suffered while travelling to or from work are sometimes not covered. Injuries like a stroke or a heart attack may require an extra showing that they were due to work-related activity. Sometimes the courts decide that a heart attack was coming anyway, and it was just coincidence that it happened at work. Other times, the courts will decide that a heart attack was the result of strenuous work activity.
