View this case - free  

Overview: Because, in order to receive compensation outside the schedule, an injured worker had to show that his injury to a scheduled member extended to a nonscheduled part of his body and interfered with its efficiency, and he did not do so, the trial court erred by not treating the injury as a scheduled injury pursuant to Ala. Code ? 25-5-57(a)(3).

Overview: Order compelling arbitration of workers' compensation claim was error because, although parties' contract provided for arbitration, terms of Workers' Compensation Act (Act), Ala. Code ? 25-5-1 et seq., were implied in every employment contract, creating ambiguity. Specific agreement under the Act prevailed over more general arbitration clause.
