How To Pick A Lawyer or What the Advertiser's Don't Want You To Know

If you have been injured in a Missouri work accident, you are probably concerned about how you are going to pay the bills.

If you have been injured in a Missouri work accident, you are probably concerned about how you are going to pay the bills. There is a lot of uncertainty following a work-related accident and unfortunately, your employer may not tell you all of your rights as an injured worker. The insurance company isn't going to be looking out for your best interests either, as it will be focused on minimizing the amount of money paid for your claim.

You need to contact an experienced St. Louis workers compensation attorney who can explain your options and eligibility to receive financial benefits. The statute of limitations for workers compensation runs two years for the date of last treatment on a reported injury, so you shouldn't delay in filing your claim. Contact the Law Offices of Alvin Wolff Jr. today at (314) 241-2500 or toll free (877) 241-1020.

Some of the work injuries that are usually covered under workers compensation include:

Head trauma
Fall injuries
Rotator cuff injuries
Broken bones
Repetitive trauma/ Carpal tunnel syndrome
Neck, back and knee injuries
Hearing impairment
Work-related emotional problems
Work-induced heart attack or stroke
Occupational diseases (asbestosis, dermatitis)
Work related pulmonary conditions
Loss of use of limbs
Eye injuries

According to Missouri Workers Compensation Law, when you are injured on the job, you are entitled to receive paid medical treatment for your injuries. If the doctor says that you will not be able to work, you may qualify for temporary total disability. When there is a permanent disability, you may be eligible for compensation for the rest of your life. The insurance company and your employer may not fully explain these benefits to you, which can make applying for workers comp benefits even more confusing.

As an injured worker, you also need to be aware of the Missouri Second Injury Fund. If you were injured at work, but have a pre-existing condition, you could be facing a greater disability. In this situation, you may be eligible to file a Missouri Second Injury Fund claim. Benefits available from the Second Injury Fund are an additional compensation to your workers compensation payments. As our client, we will be able to determine all the benefits in which you are entitled, including those from the Second Injury Fund.
