What Do Workers' Compensation Lawyers Do?

Helping Injured Employees Get Their Full Compensation

A workers' compensation lawyer guides those seeking benefits through the workers compensation claims process. Not only can they help protect your rights by making sure you are asking for the appropriate benefits, but they can also help you fight off any attempts by your employer (or their workers' compensation insurance provider) to lowball you.

From initial discovery and investigation through the appeal phase, our workers' compensation attorneys and paralegals are dedicated to building a compensation case properly. Our law firm does everything we can to ensure our clients have the best chance of being successful with their claims.

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Workers Comp Case in Missouri?

Typically, settling a workers' compensation case in Missouri takes up to six months from the date of injury. However, the whole settlement process can take about 12-18 months, depending on the facts of your case and if you do or do not have legal representation.

The Missouri Workers' Compensation Commission has a statute of limitations that can change depending on the circumstances. Finally, you and the insurance company will agree to a settlement, which will be approved by the MO Workers' Compensation Commission. Depending on how complicated your case is, the process usually takes a few weeks but can be quicker or slower.

Workers' compensation is a state-mandated, "no-fault" insurance system that benefits workers injured to cover medical care, a portion of lost wages, and permanent disability. In return, employers receive immunity from civil lawsuits by employees over such workplace injuries.

If you are considering filing a workers' compensation claim, it is vital to understand the timeline for settlement. Working with our experienced work comp attorney in Springfield MO, can increase your chances of settling your case quickly and fairly.
