St. Louis Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
Ask for the Settlement You Deserve After a Workplace Injury
Any accident that happens at your workplace, no matter the cause, is likely covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. If you are a W-2 employee, your company is required by law to provide this coverage. Workers’ compensation covers all expenses due to work-related injuries, including:
- Medical benefits
- Lost wages
- Disability benefits
However, like any insurer, a workers’ compensation company does not want to pay out any claims it can avoid. To challenge your claim, insurance companies will often go so far as to have someone watch you for evidence you are not injured as badly as you have told them. They will bring any arguments they can against your claim, and may outright deny you the benefits you are entitled to.
Our workers’ compensation attorneys can help you fight back against this unfair system. We have helped many clients recover full compensation after a workplace injury. However, the clock is ticking if you have been in a work accident. Insurers will not wait to challenge your claim. Talk to our lawyers as soon as possible if you have been injured at work. We can help you gather evidence and put together a comprehensive claim that addresses many arguments an insurer may try to use against you. Receiving compensation for your losses is especially important after a bad workplace injury. Don’t take a chance with your future.
Our St. Louis attorneys are here to talk to you 24/7 if you need help with a workers’ compensation claim. Call us at (314) 500-6000 to get your case started.

Know Your Rights After a Workplace Injury
Sometimes we talk to people who have been told by their boss not to file for workers’ compensation. If this sounds like you, we urge you to get a second opinion from someone outside your company. Despite the excuses you might hear from someone in leadership or an insurance representative, workers’ compensation is required to cover almost any workplace danger that results in damages. This includes:
- Accidents, whether caused by you or a coworker
- Exposure to toxic agents or chemicals
- Occupational diseases
- Repetitive strain/overuse injuries
Once you report your injury to your employer, they are required to make a report to the Missouri Division of Workers’ Compensation. At this point, we recommend you contact an attorney as well. Your employer is entitled to choose a doctor to evaluate your injury. However, our team may be able to help you identify other evidence that will support your claim. We can also help you save and organize documents you will need to prove your expenses. Finally, we can let you know if your employer or their insurer tries to do anything that infringes on your rights as a worker. From start to finish, we are here with you.
