The King Firm - Where Justice Reigns
No Win. No Fee. No Worries. Only Pay When We Win.
Workers’ Compensation
Serving Since 1973
When you’re injured at work, your life can change instantly. Medical bills pile up, paychecks stop coming, and the uncertainty of recovery can be overwhelming. The King Firm helps injured workers throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee navigate the complex workers’ compensation system, with a goal of ensuring they receive the benefits they’re legally entitled to.
Our attorneys are currently licensed in the state of Alabama, but may enter cases in other states via pro hac vice admission, subject to state statutes, professional standards, and court rules.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation
Most employers across the Southeast are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides medical and financial benefits to employees who are injured on the job. These benefits may include medical treatment, wage replacement, rehabilitation services, and, in some cases, permanent disability payments.
However, obtaining these benefits is not always simple. Claims can be delayed, undervalued, or outright denied — often leaving injured workers without the support they need during recovery. The King Firm works to ensure employers and insurers follow the law and treat injured workers fairly.
Common Workplace Injuries
The King Firm represents workers across a wide range of industries — including mining, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, transportation, and service fields. Common cases we handle include:
-
Back, neck, and spinal injuries
-
Repetitive stress or overexertion injuries
-
Broken bones or crush injuries
-
Exposure to toxic chemicals or hazardous substances
-
Burns, electrocution, and equipment-related injuries
-
Work-related vehicle accidents
Our attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries take and work tirelessly to help clients obtain full and proper benefits.
Filing a Claim and Protecting Your Rights
Workers’ compensation claims are time-sensitive, and each state has strict rules governing how and when an injury must be reported. Missing deadlines or failing to complete documentation accurately can jeopardize your eligibility for benefits.
The King Firm assists clients through every stage of the process, including:
-
Filing initial claims
-
Gathering and organizing medical records
-
Securing supporting expert opinions
-
Responding to employer or insurer requests
-
Appealing wrongful claim denials
We also ensure that employers do not pressure injured workers to return before they are medically cleared. Your health — not your employer’s timeline — must remain the priority.
When Third Parties Are Involved
Some workplace injuries involve negligent parties outside of your employer, such as:
-
Contractors
-
Equipment manufacturers
-
Property owners
-
Vehicle operators
In these situations, injured workers may be able to pursue both a workers’ compensation claim and a separate personal injury lawsuit. The King Firm evaluates every possible source of recovery to maximize compensation for medical costs, lost income, long-term disability, and other damages.

Alli B.
Jasper AL
My name is Alli. When I was 16, I was involved in a car accident late on a Friday night as I was heading home from hanging out with my friends. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and left me hurt and afraid to drive for quite some time. When I called The King Firm, they spent a bunch of time with me so they could understand not only what happened during the accident, but how I felt and how my healing was coming along. They worked diligently on my case and fought for the justice I needed to move on with my life. Their hard work led to a successful resolution of my case. I would send any of my friends or family members to Jimmy King and his team because I know they will be in the best hands.

Questions?
What counts as workplace discrimination?
Discrimination is illegal if you belong to a protected class as outlined by federal or state law. These legally protected categories include age, disability, gender, pregnancy, race, national origin, military status, and religion. Several states also define sexual orientation as a protected category. Favoritism or nepotism in the workplace may be unfair, but the treatment of this sort is not necessarily illegal.
Workers Compensation
Am I entitled to leave to care for a parent?
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) enables eligible employees to take a leave of absence for up to 12 weeks per year for one or more of the following reasons:
* Medical leave if an employee is unable to work due to a serious illness
* For the birth and care of a newborn child
* The recent adoption of a child by the employee
* To care for an immediate family member, including a spouse, child, or parent
In addition to this federal statute, many states have separate family leave regulations that allow individuals time away from the office to care for their loved ones.
These laws can be very complex, and there are many exceptions and restrictions on the right to take medical and family leave. For example, individuals working for businesses with less than 50 employees are not eligible for unpaid leave under the FMLA. However, they may be eligible under their state's laws. If you are considering taking leave from your job, you should consult an attorney who can determine your eligibility and explain your rights under federal and state employment laws.
Workers Compensation
Can my employer monitor my internet use?
The courts have ruled that employees have few privacy rights when using their employers' computer systems. All websites visited by workers may be tracked, and non-work-related sites may be blocked. All employers should have an acceptable use policy that outlines internet use in the workplace and any sites which may not be visited. If an employee knowingly violates this policy, he or she may be disciplined accordingly.
Workers Compensation
Am I owed severance after a layoff?
Unless your employment contract or company policy specifies the presence of a severance package in the event of discharge, you are probably not entitled to a severance package. In many instances, employers offer a severance package in exchange for your agreement to a confidentiality or non-competition contract or to secure the release of any employment-related claims you may make. Before signing any severance agreement, it is important that you contact an employment attorney to ensure your rights are protected.
