We’re Here For Injured Workers In Camdenton
Workers’ compensation benefits are meant to help people recover after work injuries and return in the short term. There are many potential benefits available to you when you have a work injury; however, there are many obstacles, too. You need to work with a workers’ compensation attorney to make sure you are receiving the care and attention you deserve.
At Grayson & Grayson, our workers’ compensation attorneys take on the most difficult aspects of workers’ compensation claims, from filing claims appropriately to attending hearings and appealing denials. We know how Missouri’s workers’ compensation laws work, and we are ready to do what it takes to secure you the compensation you deserve for your injury.
Are All Injuries Eligible For Workers’ Compensation?
Any injury you receive while working is potentially covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation policy. These benefits extend to such conditions as:
- Occupational Illness: Toxic exposure in your workplace can often lead to illnesses that may require serious medical attention.
- Repetitive Motion Injuries: Performing the same physical task over and over again is a risk factor for several painful conditions.
- Acute Injuries: From slips and falls to overexertion, any physical injury that stops you from working needs medical attention.
- Mental Stress: Emotional distress and other psychological issues caused by working conditions often require treatment to overcome.
However, there are some injuries at work that are not compensated by workers’ compensation, and these are called third-party Injuries. A Third-party injury is when the directly responsible party is not your employer or another employee but someone else. It could be the manufacturer who made the defective tool that hurt you or a vendor who caused an accident.
