What benefits can I get after a work accident?

The specific benefits you could be entitled to receive depend on the nature of your accident and your injuries. They may include recovery of a portion of your lost wages, medical care, continued care and vocational retraining.

Can my boss fire me for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

You have the right to seek workers’ compensation benefits without the fear of losing your job. If you suffered wrongful termination after filing a claim or you are facing the threat of losing your job, you have the right to take action.

What happens if I am in a car accident while on the clock?

If you suffered injuries in a car accident that occurred while you were driving for something related to work, you could have a rightful claim to workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party is liable for the accident, you may also have grounds for a personal injury claim. We will evaluate your case and determine which option is best for your situation or whether you may have grounds to seek compensation through both types of claims.

If my job caused a previous injury to worsen, can I get workers’ compensation benefits?

Due to changes in Missouri’s workers’ compensation law, it is difficult to claim benefits for previous injuries that were aggravated or exacerbated by a person’s job. However, we will evaluate your case and explore all of the options available to you.
