Attorneys Working for St. Louis Families
When people suffer work-related injuries, they must act quickly to protect themselves and their families. They need time off to fully recuperate and money to cover lost wages, medical expenses, etc.
The process of getting workers' compensation benefits can often be frustrating, however. In addition, at this writing, the laws have just changed to make getting workers' compensation more difficult.

About Workers' Compensation
Almost every employer must, by law, carry workers' compensation insurance. Employees are entitled to benefits if they are injured on the job, regardless of who is at fault. Valid claims can result from all kinds of incidents, including:
- Construction accidents: fall from scaffolding or ladders, objects falling on workers, etc.
- Auto accidents occurring while working
- Slips and falls at a workplace
- Injuries from dangerous machinery (see also Product Liability)
Such accidents can cause everything from minor injuries to catastrophic injuries, and sometimes, wrongful deaths. The injured people of course deserve the proper care -- but keep in mind also that what affects the worker affects the family. The family of the injured person deserves compensation for wages lost because of the accident, and in some cases loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other consequences.
