If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to seek workers’ compensation benefits. This can be true whether the injury is temporary or permanent, and whether you work full-time, part-time, or on a contract or temporary basis. Any injury that occurs in the course of doing your job should be covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. The law entitles you to payment of your medical expenses, lost wages, and lost earning capacity. Attorneys at Smith Coonrod Mohlman, LLC can help you maximize your recovery. No matter what type of injury you have suffered, you should contact an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer who can work to make sure your rights are protected. Our attorneys handle a wide range of worker’s compensation injuries. We represent clients in both Kansas and Missouri. Our attorneys also handle personal injury cases, and can help you navigate the interplay if your injury is both work-related and also involves a third party. This may entitle you to additional compensation for past and future pain and suffering. Contact our office today to discuss your workers’ compensation or personal injury case.
Additionally, Kansas and Missouri law make it illegal for your employer to fire you because you have asserted your worker’s compensation rights. If an employer retaliates against you for filing a worker’s compensation claim, our attorneys can help you with a wrongful discharge lawsuit.
