Injured at Work? Let Us Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve
Workman’s Compensation, often referred to as Workers’ Comp, is a state-mandated insurance program designed to support employees who experience job-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits can include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, disability payments, and more.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to unsafe working conditions or employer negligence, Bouhasin Law Firm is here to help. Attorney John Bouhasin is committed to ensuring you receive the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
What Benefits Can You Receive Under Missouri Workers’ Compensation?
Every employee has the right to a safe and healthy workplace. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries can still occur due to employer negligence or unavoidable workplace hazards. Whether it’s a slip-and-fall incident, repetitive strain injury, or exposure to hazardous materials, workers’ compensation benefits can help you recover physically and financially.
Missouri Workers’ Compensation provides coverage for:
- Medical Expenses: Necessary and reasonable medical care for your work-related injury or illness, including doctor visits, prescriptions, hospitalization, therapy, and any other treatment recommended by your healthcare provider.
- Temporary Disability Payments: Compensation of up to two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you recover and are unable to work.
- Permanent Disability Benefits: If your injury results in a permanent disability (such as loss of a limb or inability to return to your job), workers’ comp provides financial support to offset your loss of earnings.
- Death Benefits: In cases of fatal injuries or illnesses, workers’ comp may provide death benefits to surviving dependents.
While these benefits are vital, insurance companies often prioritize their profits over fair compensation. If your claim has been denied or you’ve received an inadequate settlement offer, consulting an experienced workers’ compensation attorney is critical.
