Description
YATES, Judge Montgomery Elevator Company, Incorporated (Montgomery Elevator), filed a declaratory judgment action on February 5, 1992, in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, seeking a determination as to whether the injury of its employee, Joel Pinkney, is compensable under the Alabama Workmen's Compensation Act. Montgomery Elevator's complaint urged the Mobile Circuit Court to take jurisdiction over the claim. Pinkney filed a motion to dismiss the action for lack of jurisdiction, alleging that the Alabama Workmen's Compensation Act was not applicable to the injury he sustained while working for Montgomery Elevator in Florida. The trial court entered an order granting Pinkney's motion to dismiss, and Montgomery Elevator appeals. The record reveals that Montgomery Elevator is a foreign corporation with an office in Mobile, Alabama. Pinkney was employed by Montgomery Elevator as a ""helper,"" installing and repairing elevators from approximately September 14, 1987, until he was injured on May 21, 1990. Pinkney is a lifelong resident of Florida and has worked for Montgomery Elevator for approximately three years at five different job sites in Florida. Pinkney's only work for Montgomery Elevator in Alabama was in 1989, for five or six months on a state office building located in Montgomery, Alabama. While working in Alabama, Pinkney stayed in a hotel and remained domiciled in Florida.
