Birmingham Workers Compensation Attorney | Social Security Disability Lawyer
The Sapp Law Firm is pleased to offer a full-service injury and disability claims practice for clients throughout Alabama. We are committed to providing our clients with the quality legal representation and highly personalized service they deserve.
Our founding attorney, Jonathan Coleman Sapp, has represented more than a thousand injured and disabled clients. He aggressively pursues compensation on behalf of clients in a wide range of injury and disability claims, including:
- Personal injury, including car accidents, pedestrian accidents, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, dog bite attacks, nursing home negligence, airplane crashes, swimming pool accidents, coal mine accidents, slip-and-fall accidents and other premises liability claims, day care injuries, boating accidents, Jet Ski accidents, and other general negligence claims.
- Workers' compensation: We can help if you have sustained a work-related injury or illness. We represent employees from all industries and occupations, including office workers, manual laborers, construction workers, factory workers and industrial workers.
- Third-party liability claims: In some cases, a client may have a workers' compensation claim and a third-party liability claim, a type of personal injury claim in which the defendant is someone other than an employer or co-worker. If a subcontractor, independent contractor or another third party contributed to the cause of your injuries, you may have a basis to pursue compensation through a third-party liability claim in addition to any compensation you may receive under your workers' compensation claim.
- Product liability: If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to obtain compensation through a product liability claim. Just as a third-party liability claim may be pursued in addition to a workers' compensation claim, so, too, can an injured worker pursue a product liability claim and workers' compensation claim simultaneously if a workplace accident was caused in part by a dangerous or defective product (e.g., a dangerous power saw or other construction equipment).
- Wrongful death: We handle wrongful death claims, a specific type of personal injury claim that provides compensation for certain family members who have lost a loved one as a result of an accident that was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another.
- Social Security Disability (SSDI and SSI benefits): If your application for Social Security Disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits has been denied, we can help.
- Coal industry injuries or illnesses: Many of our clients have sustained injuries or illnesses resulting from their work in the coal industry. Such cases may involve a workplace trucking accident, injury from dangerous or defective equipment, occupational disease such as black lung, or work-related injury arising from an accident or repetitive stress injury. We handle workers' compensation cases, product liability cases and third-party liability cases on behalf of workers who have been injured while working in the coal industry.
