Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Springfield, Missouri
With Limited Exception, all employers in the state of Missouri are bound by the Missouri Workers Compensation Statute. If you are injured on the job you may be entitled to Workers Compensation benefits. If your injury is work related, you are generally entitled to all of your medical being paid, time off from work and permanent partial disability or permanent total disability. A finding of Permanent Total disability would require the Employer to pay benefits for the remainder of the workers life. Since legislative changes that were made in August of 2005, it is now more difficult to obtain the Workers Compensation Benefits provided pursuant to the statute. With the new changes in place it is more necessary now than ever that when seriously injured on the job you seek legal representation to determine what your rights are and the most effective way to pursue them, whether it be for a one time accident or a repetitive/occupational disease.
The Workers Compensation statute covers a wide variety of workplace injuries, including back injury and repetitive injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
