How much are you going to pay the lawyer to argue about $200?

You were too nice in the beginning, but I get it. Not sure what to tell you over $200 two years later, though.

Sounds like that is your only option now. If it’s fast food chain it would benefit them to keep paying the bills. Now it will probably cost them a whole lot more.

I would post the story on Twitter and tag the company. Corporate social media accounts won’t want the bad publicity and will pay the bill quickly

A lawyer can tell you the companies insurance company info
I do not know about Alabama but in Mississippi you have to list the Work Comp Carrier and the 3rd Party Administrator name, address and contact information on the labor law Poster that every business must post in a common area.

If the OP story is true (it's not) a company would gladly settle a $200 nuisance claim in a matter of minutes after contact.

People get lawyers for less. They are obligated to pay that bill. They maybe penalties and fees for late unpaid bills.

Haven’t read the whole thread, but this happened at work and should have been filed with the comp carrier. It was an intentional act and not an accident per se. Comp is the sole remedy for an accident.

An attorney would not have filed the claim under the work comp portion of the policy, but would/should have filed under the Employer Liability portion of work comp policy since it wasn’t an “accident” and was an intention act. The comp carrier would have sent the suit for a review to determine if they had a duty defend.

Ultimately, the carrier would have likely settled.
