Pell City Workers' Compensation Attorneys
Pell City is located in the north-central section of Alabama and is one of the county seats for St. Clair County. The other seat is Asheville. According to the most recent census, there were 12,939 people, 5,801 households, and 3,698 families living in Pell City. It was home to the Avondale Mills and the legacy it left behind, the Avondale Mill Historic District.
In 1902, Sumter Cogswell built the Pell City Manufacturing Company, which eventually became Avondale Mills—a system of textile mills. The Avondale Mills was operational until 2006. Now, it is the area known as the Avondale Mills Historic District and is architecturally significant, as it has the first sawtooth-roofed mill in Alabama. The mill and the surrounding village are registered on the National Register of Historic Places. The mill actually burned in 2008 while it was being dismantled for scrap metal.
Although Avondale Mills is no longer functioning, Pell City's citizens still primarily earn their living through manufacturing, with 21% of the population in that line of work. Because of the inherent dangers in the manufacturing business, on-the-job injuries often occur in Pell City. As a matter of fact, when the original mill burned down, a worker was hit by falling debris but thankfully survived. Falling objects, fires, equipment failure, maintaining dangerous equipment, and a host of other industrial-based activities can lead to serious injury or death. Additionally, the rest of the workforce in the city is at risk for more common on-the-job injuries such as over exertion, slip and falls, car accidents, lifting injuries, and more.
