Workers' Compensation in Missouri
Hurt on the job? Know your rights.
A workplace injury can leave you unable to work while medical expenses and everyday bills continue to add up.
Missouri's workers' compensation system provides benefits to eligible employees who suffer job-related injuries or occupational illnesses. However, navigating that system can be frustrating, particularly when treatment is delayed, benefits are denied, or you're being pressured to return to work.
Joseph Scott Law assists injured workers with matters involving:
Workplace injuries and occupational illnesses
Denied or disputed workers' compensation claims
Delayed medical treatment
Temporary and permanent disability benefits
Workers' compensation settlements
Disputes involving insurance companies
You work hard to support yourself and your family. A workplace injury shouldn't leave you without an understanding of your rights and available benefits.
What Should You Do After an Injury?
Whether you were injured in an accident or at work, the steps you take afterward can affect your claim.
Get medical attention. Your health comes first. Follow your doctor's recommendations and keep records of your treatment.
Document what happened. Save photographs, accident reports, witness information, and relevant communications.
Report workplace injuries promptly. In Missouri, failing to notify your employer within 30 days can jeopardize workers' compensation benefits.
Be cautious with insurance companies. Before signing a settlement agreement or providing a recorded statement, consider speaking with an attorney.
Understand your deadlines. Different types of injury claims have different filing requirements. Waiting too long can affect your ability to recover.
