Understanding Workers' Compensation in Missouri
Workers’ compensation is designed to provide benefits to employees who are injured on the job, including medical care, compensation for lost wages, and rehabilitation services. Navigating these claims can be complex, and without proper legal representation, many workers may not receive the full benefits they deserve.
Workers' Compensation Injury Law in Missouri
Being injured on the job can be life-altering, and at a minimum, can cause stress and uncertainty. Missouri laws require that employers carry workers’ compensation insurance. While the workers’ compensation system is put in place to offer injured workers a safety net and reassurance, navigating this system can be confusing.
A work-related injury can cause financial complications, preventing you from supporting yourself or your family. We want you to have a team experienced in dealing with insurance companies and assisting you with financial help, allowing you to receive the compensation you deserve and get back to work when possible.

It’s important to understand that you are entitled to receive medical care for your injuries and may be entitled to receive compensation for your lost wages.
Fighting for your Rights During your case and After Settlement!
After an injury on the job, you may be concerned about filing a workers’ compensation claim against your employer. Although some people may also have a third party claim, rest assured that your workers’ compensation case is against the workers’ compensation insurance company or a self-insured fund. After being involved in a work-related accident, it’s important to remember that insurance adjusters are not on your side. Adjusters may be friendly at first, but they ultimately work for the insurance company to settle your case for pennies on the dollar. Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm will work on your behalf to obtain the maximum fair settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The first thing you should do when you have suffered an injury on the job is to report the injury to your supervisor immediately. Your supervisor should make a report of the injury to indicate how, when, and where the injury happened. This report can and may be used as evidence in a court of law.
Next, seek medical attention ASAP. If an employer refuses to provide medical treatment, you should seek needed care on your own and obtain documentation of that. It is also best to document the denial of medical treatment by your employer in that event. Write down who you spoke with, what was said to you, and when. Speak to a lawyer as soon as you can and save this information for them.
Keep all of your medical appointments, make sure you keep your employer informed of your medical condition, and when you can return to work. Your doctor will generally provide you with a form to give to your employer. Be sure to keep copies of these forms for yourself as well.
