Workers’ compensation is meant to provide financial protection to employees who have been injured on the job. But how does workers’ compensation work in Mexico, Missouri? Missouri law holds employers responsible for covering medical costs and lost wages when an employee becomes injured or ill due to a workplace accident or toxic exposure. In some cases, workers’ compensation includes additional benefits like vocational training if the employee can no longer work in the industry where they were injured. Workers who suffer a severe injury while on the job should receive the care and compensation they deserve as quickly as possible. Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer will fight for you to receive everything you need.
There are many misconceptions about what is and isn’t a workplace injury. Workers’ compensation isn’t exclusive to on-the-job accidents and injuries. It can also serve employees who suffer from repetitive stress injuries and toxic chemical exposure. The long-term effects of an injury or chemical exposure can prevent you from returning to work, putting the burden of your care and lost wages on your loved ones. No matter how your workplace injury occurs, you deserve to be compensated for your medical expenses, lost wages, and more. Are you unsure if your injury or illness falls under the workers’ compensation umbrella? Learn more about workplace injuries in Mexico, Missouri.
If you’ve been injured on the job, don’t wait to file a claim. Workers’ compensation is only available to an injured employee who files a claim with the Department of Labor within two years. When an employer fails to file a timely injury report with the Department of Labor, the injured employee has three years to file a workers’ compensation claim. Two to three years can feel like a long time, but time can fly when you are focused on your recovery.
Depending on the type of injury you experience, your recovery period can last a few days or consume your life for years.
