St. Louis Workers’ Compensation Attorney

When you get hurt on the job, it’s more than a physical pain. Why suffer through medical bills, lost wages, and relentless insurance companies? When you hire a St. Louis workers’ compensation attorney, you boost your chances of winning a settlement that covers all of your past, present, and future expenses caused by your injury.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reports that about 4 million people are injured at work annually in the United States. On average, 200 workers end up hospitalized because of work-related injuries every day. Many more people experience injuries that do not require hospitalization, but are still costly enough to require compensation.

Don’t let your employer or the insurance company leave you high and dry after a workplace injury. Workers’ comp laws can be tricky to navigate in terms of paperwork and deadlines, and corporate bullies count on the probability that you’ll just let it go. The S.E. Farris Law Firm takes workers’ compensation (often called work comp or workman’s comp) cases seriously. We have no intention of leaving you to struggle on your own.

When you hire our St. Louis personal injury attorney Spencer Farris, he will assist you with:

Hurt on the Job?

7 Reasons You Want a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer on Your Side

What You Need to Know

Immediately after a workplace injury, the worker must notify a supervisor or human relations employee verbally and in writing. This is helpful in ensuring that a worker receives immediate medical assistance and treatment. It also advises the employer to notify their workers’ compensation insurer, which protects worker benefits from denial later.

The second level of reporting is filing a written claim, a formal notification of a workplace injury. Most employers have a form that is designed to conform with the state worker’s compensation statutes and regulations.

An injured worker is entitled to three different types of benefits. These include medical treatment, lost wages while you are on the mend, and a lump sum for disability at the end of the claim. Some benefits continue forever- ongoing medical treatment for example, or disability payments for a totally disabled worker.

If a person is totally and permanently disabled as the result of a workplace injury, he or she is entitled to compensation for that as well. This typically results in weekly payments for the work life of the victim.

Testimonial

“As soon as I injured my back at work, I called Spence. He had been such a great friend to us after my husband Mike was injured that he was the only attorney I trusted. I didn’t know what to do because I was scared I would miss too much work. He’d given Mike his cell number, so it was easy to reach him. He calmed my fears by letting me know what to expect. He got me the care I needed and settled my case as fast as possible.”
