Injured at Work? Put Decades of Legal Experience in Your Corner

Have you been injured on the job? You may be eligible to receive coverage through workers' compensation insurance. At Michel | King, we are committed to helping people who live and work in Birmingham and throughout Alabama to safeguard their legal rights under the state and federal employment laws.

In some cases, valid workers' compensation claims are denied outright. Don't take chances with the outcome of your workers' compensation claim; you have already been through enough, and you should not have to fight with your employer and the workers' compensation insurance company to get the benefits you deserve. Let us fight for you!
