The Alabama Supreme Court upheld a verdict that an employer fired an injured employee in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim, but the trial judge must explain the rejection of the employer’s challenge.
Case: Envoy Air Inc. v. Creagh, No. SC-2025-0022, 10/16/2026, published.
Facts: Jada Creagh worked for Envoy Air Inc. She injured her shoulder in a fall at work in October 2018.
Creagh reported the injury to her shift supervisor, who allegedly told her that "the last person who had reported getting hurt on the job was no longer there."
