Talladega Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Talladega, the county seat of Talladega County, is about 50 miles east of Birmingham and boasts a population of nearly 16,000. The primary draw of the city is the Talladega Superspeedway, affectionately known as 'Dega, which currently hosts the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series. While the speedway is located just north of Talladega, it provides a huge economic impact to the city. Talladega Superspeedway is the longest NASCAR racecourse, with a length of 2.66 miles, compared to the Daytona International Speedway, which is 2.5 miles. The Speedway seats about 175,000 spectators.

The Talladega Superspeedway provides a huge economic impact to the City of Talladega, as well as all of the East Alabama. A recent study found that NASCAR brings in roughly $420 million per year. Fans come from every state, as well as from across the globe—28 countries have been accounted for during various races. Those who come to watch NASCAR come for a minimum of three days from outside of the state, driving tourism dollars.

Additionally, the City of Talladega is home to the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the Talladega Municipal Airport, the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, and Talladega College. All of these places provide additional revenue to the city.

Due to the huge influx of tourists that descend on the City of Talladega during race weeks, many hospitality jobs pose a higher risk of on-the-job injuries simply due to the huge amount of work created by the NASCAR events held at Talladega Superspeedway. Many jobs linked to the speedway are much more dangerous than a run-of-the-mill jobs and can cause serious injuries. And of course, regular on-the-job injuries are always possible.
