Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri

Re: clinical mmi

If your comp claim is in Missouri, do you have a Missouri lawyer representing you? If so, you should direct all of your legal questions concerning the worker's comp claim to your attorney. If you are not represented, you should be. The employer and the insurance company are highly motivated to close this claim as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. In most cases your wellbeing is not on their priority list. An attorney will help to protect your legal rights, and maximize your financial recovery. You will receive more money in compensation even after your attorney deducts his or her fee from your settlement proceeds or other financial recovery then you would receive if you handled the claim without an attorney. Please be sure to hire an attorney and follow that attorney's advice. If you do not know one, please feel free to contact me directly and I will refer you to one of the very best worker's compensation attorneys in the state of Missouri.

Re: clinical mmi

You should contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney. There is often confusion concerning the concept of MMI (maximum medical improvement). MMI simply means that there are no additional modes of active medical treatment that are warranted for your condition at this time. If you are still temporarily and totally disabled, you should qualify for weekly benefits until you receive a permanent impairment rating. On the other hand, you can be in a situation where you have not yet reached MMI (you are still treating) but you are able to work. In that case, no benefits would be payable. An experienced workers' compensation atorney can help preserve your rights.
