Workplace Injuries

A work injury can be devastating. When you are injured in a workplace accident, one of the first challenges that you face is how you are going to provide for your family. It is a terrifying feeling not knowing where you are going to get the money to pay for your family's survival needs. The good news is that you may be eligible to receive monetary benefits under Missouri workers' compensation.

If you have been hurt on the job, don't rely on your employer and the insurance company to explain your rights and your compensation options. They may not be focused on your best interests, especially the insurance company. The insurer will be more concerned about its bottom line.

Compensation Following a Work Accident
As an injured worker in Missouri, you may be able to receive paid medical treatment. If the doctor determines that you are unable to work, you can apply for monetary benefits that are available until you recover. In the case of a permanent disability, you may be able to receive payments for the rest of your life.

In addition to Missouri workers compensation, you may also be able to obtain compensation from the Missouri Second Injury Fund. You may qualify for additional benefits from this fund if you were injured at work, but because of a pre-existing condition, you now face an even greater disability.
