Re: Injury on the job--lost a finger--negeligence
It is doubtful that you can receive compensation for pain and suffering under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act; however, there are some exceptions if the acts were "willful and intentional" or if you gave them written notice of a specific rule violation within 6 months of the injury. If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
