Injured Employees
As an injured worker, the Missouri Workers' Compensation statutes offer you four rights: medical treatment, partial payment for time off work due to the injury, payment for any disability you may still have once you have been released by a doctor, and payment for scarring of the face, neck, arms or hands. However, often it is difficult for an injured worker to obtain fair and timely access to these rights. In assisting you on these rights, our philosophy is simple. We do not sit back and let the insurance companies, adjusters and attorneys dictate how your case will proceed. We aggressively pursue every workers' compensation case on behalf of our clients to ensure they get the most of the benefits available under the statute in a timely manner. We keep as a priority the ultimate goal of getting injured people back into the workforce and back to a normal life as soon as possible.
We have knowledge of insurance companies, physicians, judges and attorneys all over the State of Missouri. We can refer you to appropriate physicians for evaluations, and can make demands of the employer and insurance companies that may otherwise go ignored.
A great majority of our clients are state and government workers who use our services to secure reasonable medical care as well as appropriate payment for time off, permanent partial or total disability, and scarring. We work daily with the insurance companies and attorneys who represent your employer and know how to navigate you through this system.
No matter who your employer is, if you are not being provided treatment, if you are in pain as a result of the injury, and if you are not being adequately compensated for your injury, we are not afraid to take your case to trial. If you are not offered a fair settlement, we will use available avenues in the system to get you what you deserve. Our attorneys use the knowledge gained from having represented employers and insurers to your advantage in resolving your workers' compensation case.
We will handle your case on a contingent fee basis and will not require any up-front fee from you to file your claim. We will advance the expenses associated with litigating your case, and will recoup them from your settled workers' compensation case. We are happy to meet with you for a free consultation with no obligation in order to evaluate your workers' compensation case and assess your rights, and potential recovery.
