App resource
Use the evaluator online, install it on your phone. It is built to help injured Alabama workers learn which facts may deserve a closer review in a serious workers' compensation case.
The app gives general information only. It is not legal advice and does not decide whether you have a case.
This site pays special attention to serious neck, shoulder, back, head, and brain injuries, and to work-related truck and car crashes.
The app asks simple questions about city, age, education, work history, injury problems, medical treatment, restrictions, MMI, FCEs, job loss, and Social Security Disability concerns.
The app then lists any triggered alarm bells or red flags with short explanations. It does not give a score, a value, a legal conclusion, or a promise. The purpose is to help you learn about your case and understand what facts may matter.
In a serious Alabama workers' compensation case, the biggest issue may not be only the medical bill. The deeper question may be whether the injury has changed the worker's ability to return to realistic work. That is why the relationship between separate benefit programs may matter:
Workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability are separate programs with different standards.
The overlap is a reason to review the facts carefully, not a legal conclusion.

Applying the information
Workers' compensation questions can depend on records, dates, medical evidence, and facts outside the scope of a general resource. A qualified Alabama workers' compensation lawyer can review how the rules apply to a specific situation.
Publication notice. The Alabama Work Injury Report is an information publication of Powell & Denny, P.C. It provides general Alabama workers' compensation and disability-information only, is not legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and does not predict any result. This page is a paid advertisement. Powell & Denny, P.C., 1320 Alford Avenue, Suite 201, Birmingham, Alabama 35226, is responsible for its content. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. Reading this site or using an evaluator does not require you to contact Powell & Denny. Alabama workers' compensation can be difficult to understand, and no online checklist can cover every possible fact pattern. Even if an evaluator shows a lower-warning or green-style result, that does not mean you do not need a lawyer. If you are worried about your claim, we encourage you to call a qualified Alabama workers' compensation lawyer even if it is not us. If you contact Powell & Denny and we are not the right fit, you may ask us about referring you to another firm.
