A workplace injury can leave you facing medical appointments, missed paychecks, and serious pain. Missouri’s workers’ compensation system is supposed to help in these situations, but valid claims still get delayed, underpaid, or denied.

Our personal injury lawyers in Springfield at Aaron Sachs & Associates help injured employees get the benefits Missouri law provides.

Since 1991, we’ve handled more than 10,000 cases, and we’ve recovered more than half a billion dollars for injury victims. No matter what type of workplace incident you’ve been hurt in, you can count on our workers’ compensation lawyers in Springfield to pursue the benefits you deserve.

How Missouri Workers’ Compensation Works

Missouri’s workers’ compensation system is no-fault, so you generally don’t have to prove your employer did anything wrong to receive benefits.

That said, several rules can make your case challenging. Our Springfield workers’ compensation lawyers at Aaron Sachs & Associates will make sure you understand and follow the following rules:

  • Report your injury quickly: Missouri requires written notice to your employer no later than 30 days after the accident under RSMo § 287.420.
  • Your employer chooses the doctor: If you see a doctor your employer didn’t authorize, the insurer may not have to pay your medical bills.
  • Retaliation is illegal: Your employer can’t fire or punish you for filing a workers’ compensation claim.

We will guide you throughout the workers’ comp claim process and handle every filing and conversation. We’ll take the legal weight off your shoulders, so you can focus your energy on attending medical appointments and getting the rest you need to fully recover from your injury.

What If Your Workers’ Comp Claim Was Denied?

If your workers’ comp claim was denied, you can challenge that decision before the Missouri Division of Workers’ Compensation. Insurers often deny claims by arguing the injury wasn’t work-related, was pre-existing, or wasn’t reported on time.

A denial isn’t the end of your case. Our workers’ compensation attorneys in Springfield can gather medical evidence, interview witnesses, negotiate with the insurance company, and represent you at hearings before the Division’s Springfield office.

Reach out to Aaron Sachs & Associates today if your claim was denied. We’ll take the steps required to appeal the decision and pursue the best outcome possible.

Can You Sue Your Employer After a Workplace Injury?

You usually can’t sue your employer after a workplace injury because workers’ compensation often replaces that right. However, you may have a separate personal injury claim if someone other than your employer caused the accident, such as a negligent driver or the maker of defective equipment.

Your Springfield workers’ compensation attorney at Aaron Sachs & Associates will determine if you have grounds for a third-party claim. These claims can provide compensation that workers’ comp doesn’t cover, like pain and suffering.
