Missouri Workers' Compensation Lawyers
Under Missouri Revised Statute 287.030, all employers with five or more employees must provide workers compensation insurance for their employees. The idea behind workers compensation benefits is to provide financial assistance to employees who have been injured on the job.
If you were injured on the job in Missouri, you are entitled to fair compensation for your injuries and financial strain. An experienced St Louis workers compensation attorney will help you protect your rights. Most employers are required to carry worker's compensation insurance for their employees. As an injured worker, you are entitled to receive the necessary medical treatment, including therapy, prescriptions, and any medical supplies necessary to treat your injury. If you are left with any permanent disability as a result of your work injury, you are entitled to additional compensation.
While worker's compensation laws can be complicated and constantly evolving, a St. Louis worker's compensation attorney can advise you of your rights and how to fight to get the compensation you deserve. I will explain everything you need to know to get the compensation you need to take care of your bills, your lost income and your family. If you or someone you know has been injured on the job and you have questions about worker's compensation rights, please call me to discuss the situation.

Value of a Workers Compensation Claim
In theory, a successful Missouri workers compensation claim should help you cover all of your injuries damages and losses. For example, workers compensation benefits should cover 100 percent of the medical bills related to the accident. Additionally, you should be able to claim a portion of the wages you are missing while healing. If you suffered a serious injury and will miss work for an extended period of time, you should be compensated accordingly. Workers compensation benefits can also help someone who has suffered a lifelong disability or the family of a worker who has been killed in a job-related accident.
