Answers to Common Questions About Workers’ Compensation
I was injured at work. What should I do?
If you have been injured at work, the first thing you should do is report the injury to your supervisor. Missouri law requires prompt notice of injuries to employers.
When should I file my claim?
Missouri law contains time limits for filing. Generally, a claim must be filed within two years of: (1) the date of the accident; (2) the last payment of workers’ compensation benefits or; (3) the last medical treatment provided. A claim is only filed by filing with the Division of Workers’ Compensation.
Who is covered by Workers’ Compensation?
Any employer with 5 or more employees, and all employers in the construction industry are required to provide protection for their employees.
Will I get a settlement?
If you suffer a permanent disability, you may be entitled to a settlement. The amount you will recover depends on the nature and extent of disability. Typically, there are disagreements between employers and workers about the nature and extent of the disability.
