St. Charles County Workers’ Compensation Law Firm

Workers’ Compensation

When someone is injured while working, he or she may file for workers’ compensation benefits. Unfortunately, it is all too common for someone’s insurance claim to be denied. In such cases, the injured worker may be left paying his or her own medical expenses while being forced to go back to work early for fear of losing more wages. An experienced St. Charles County workers’ compensation attorney can increase the chances of an insurance claim being accepted or even help a worker whose claim has been denied.

What to do Immediately Following a Workplace Accident in St. Charles County

The first thing a worker should do is report the injury accident to a supervisor. It is then necessary to seek medical attention. Depending upon the type of insurance the employer has, the injured worker may have to seek medical attention from an approved doctor or hospital. After seeking treatment for the injury, if the worker is unable to return to work, he or she may file for workers’ compensation benefits. Injured workers have to prove that:

• An injury was suffered
• The injury prevents the worker from being able to work
• The injury accident occurred while doing work-related activities

Proving the extent of the injuries suffered and how the accident occurred is crucial for any workers’ compensation application. If at any time during this process the victim feels like the claim will be denied, it may be necessary to seek legal guidance from a skilled workers’ comp lawyer in Missouri.
