Your family should not suffer after a workplace accident simply because the employer was underinsured or your family was undercompensated. Seek justice for your loved one’s injury or wrongful death with Blue Springs, MO’s workers’ compensation attorneys at Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer.
When you or your loved one is injured on the job, you expect the employer to be sensitive and kind. Sadly, this is not the case for every injured employee. If your family was undercompensated for a workplace injury or death, contact Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer. Our workers’ compensation attorneys understand the fine details of filing a workplace injury or death claim in Blue Springs, MO. Many workers who are injured or killed on the job suffer because their employer is underinsured or completely uninsured. Without protections to safeguard employees from accidents, employers are negligent in their duties and can be sued for additional compensation. Victims of workplace injuries and wrongful death deserve to be compensated fairly.
According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the majority of workplace injuries occur in the healthcare, retail, manufacturing, warehousing and transportation, and construction industries. Many workplace injuries and deaths are the result of equipment malfunctions, falling debris, or unsafe working conditions. If you or your loved one experienced any of the following accidents or injuries while on the job, contact a workers’ compensation attorney right away to understand your rights in Blue Springs, MO.

Unlike standard personal injury suits, workers’ compensation cases have a
short two-year period in which you can file for compensation. First, you or a loved one must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the injury occurring. If your injury is the result of long-term chemical exposure or a repetitive motion injury, report the injury as soon as possible. If your employer does not fairly compensate you or your loved one for their injury or wrongful death, you may file a claim with the Missouri Department of Labor within two years of the injury or death. If the employer does not file a claim with the Division of Workers Compensation, you have three years to file a claim.
