Workers' Compensation
WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

Imagine this: you're injured while working at your job.  You wonder what your rights are, who will pay for your medical care and time off from work.  Under Missouri Law, if you are injured during the course and scope of your employment, you are entitled to:

1. Medial treatment for your injuries
2. Payment for your lost wages, if you are temporarily disabled
3. Permanent disability payment for your disabling injury.

Of course, each case is different, but a good Worker's Compensation attorney can help you get the maximum amount for your injury.  If you are being denied medical treatment or disability checks while you are healing, you need to immediately consult an attorney about your rights under the Workers' Compensation system.  Also, if you are injured during your employment, you may have separate claims against the person responsible for your injury.
