Claiming the workers’ compensation benefits you’re entitled to can be overwhelming, but an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can make the process far easier. Many employees assume that getting hurt is simply “part of the job” and never pursue the benefits they deserve. In reality, any injury that occurs while performing your work duties should be covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.
Injured workers, you have the right to:
Workers’ compensation benefits can cover a wide range of medical expenses for employees injured on the job, including doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and prescription medications. If an injury prevents a worker from earning wages, they may qualify for Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits, which typically provide two‑thirds of their average weekly wage until they are able to return to work.
For lasting injuries, employees may be eligible for Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) or Permanent Total Disability (PTD) benefits, depending on the severity of their impairment. In situations where an injury prevents a worker from returning to their previous job, vocational rehabilitation benefits may also be available.
If a third party contributed to the injury, the employee may pursue a separate legal claim for pain and suffering and other damages that fall outside the workers’ compensation system.
With some minor exceptions, Missouri workers’ compensation law provides coverage for all workers injured on the job while working within Missouri. The Workers’ Compensation Division of the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations administers Missouri workers’ compensation law. The most important thing you can do is talk to a Workers’ Compensation attorney call Northland Injury Law.
If you are a freelancer, an independent contractor, or a sole proprietor, you’re legally self-employed and not automatically covered by workers’ comp. Workers not classified as employees receive a 1099 form at the end of the tax year.
Although sole proprietors and partners are themselves not covered, they can individually elect to purchase workers’ compensation insurance.
