Workers' Compensation
St. Peters, Missouri Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Workers’ compensation is paid to any employee injured while performing work-related duties. Unlike personal injury claims, you do not have to prove fault, only that you were injured while at work. Employers are required to have workers’ compensation insurance in the event of an injury. At The Johnson Law Firm, LLC, we offer strategic and experienced advocacy to our clients and their families to recover compensation for work-related injuries.
Consider seeing a lawyer when:
- An employer denies that your injury occurred on the job
- You are released to go back to work, but are unable to do so
- If during a period you are unable to work, you are supposed to receive temporary total disability benefits that you do not receive
- You receive less than what you are owed
- You suffer retaliatory discharge or are fired after filing for benefits
- You were treated, paid, and released back to work, but believe you suffered a permanent partial disability
If you have suffered a workplace injury, you do have rights. Contact us for an immediate consultation regarding workers’ compensation claims and benefits.
When you suffer a work injury, you may wonder if you should go back to work, how much compensation you will receive, and how to collect the compensation you are due. Workers’ compensation claims are highly technical and require the assistance of an experienced attorney. Our attorneys at The Johnson Law Firm, LLC, have extensive experience at all stages of a claim including filing, hearings, and the appeals process, and can assert your rights.
We have experience in all of the following:
- Construction site accidents
- Factory and farming injuries
- Severe injuries and wrongful death
- Repetitive stress disorders
- Social Security Disability claims
- Appeals
Second injury fund
Second injury fund is regulated by the state and not paid by the employer’s insurance. When there is a primary injury, you may also file for a second injury fund under the law to address additional injuries caused by the first injury. For example, if you hurt your back at work, you can also receive compensation for additional prior injuries that were affected by a work-related injury. Our attorneys have specific experience in second injury fund claims.
Contingency fees
We take all of our personal injury claims on a contingency basis, meaning that you will not be charged any fees unless we recover a settlement or win a verdict in your case. There is no risk in contacting our firm for a review of your case and for legal advice on rights and options.
