Services
We take workers' comp claims for injured workers only, from the first report to a settlement or a hearing. Pick the situation closest to yours.
Free case evaluationOne kind of law, seven ways in
Workers' comp is its own system, with its own judges, forms and deadlines. Every page below explains how it usually works in plain words. Where the rules depend on the state, we say so, and we give you the exact dates for Missouri and Kansas on the first call.
Practice areas
Not sure which one fits? Most claims touch two or three. The case evaluation sorts that out for you.
Start the evaluationEvery claim is different. These pages are general information, not legal advice, and they do not promise any result.
-
Denied or cut off
Denied claims and appeals
A denial letter is the insurer's opinion, not a judge's decision. We find out why it said no and what it takes to change the answer.
-
On the job site
Construction injuries
Falls, struck-by injuries, trench and equipment accidents. We handle the comp claim and look for anyone else who may share the blame.
-
Spine injuries
Back and neck injuries
The most common work injury, and the one insurers question most. We help you get the scans, the right specialist and the paperwork that ties it to the job.
-
Built up over time
Repetitive stress injuries
Carpal tunnel, tendinitis and shoulder injuries from the same motion, every shift. No single accident, but still a work injury in most states.
-
Exposure on the job
Occupational illness and exposure
Lung disease, hearing loss, skin conditions and illness from chemicals, dust or fumes. Long timelines, careful medical proof.
-
What comes next
Settlements and return to work
Light duty, restrictions, permanent ratings and settlement offers. We help you understand the trade-offs before you sign anything.
-
Beyond workers' comp
Third-party claims
When a careless driver, a property owner or a defective machine caused your injury, you may have a claim outside workers' comp too.
What we don't take, and why we say so
We don't represent employers or insurance companies, and we don't take general injury cases that have nothing to do with work. If your case is outside what we do, we tell you on the first call and try to point you to someone who can help.
If you were hurt in a state other than Missouri and Kansas, call anyway. Which state's rules apply can depend on where you were hired, where you work and where you were hurt.
A quick no is more useful than a slow maybe.
