Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri
I have an employee who had surgery on should/arm due to recreation motorcycle wreck. He has a doctor release with restriction of no use of arm he had surgery on. If reinjured upon coming back to work can he apply for and does this qualify for Second Injury fund in the state of Missouri? Is this what the Second Injury Fund is set up to do. The type of work involved is office/custodial work.

Not any more, I believe after 01/01/14 the pre-existing injury has to be a work injury or an armed service injury.
