Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri

Re: Injury @ work due to faulty equipment

Work place injuries are within the exclusive jurisdiction of worker's compensation, with only a few limited exceptions. An employer can not under the law fire an employee for exercising his rights under the worker's compensation law. Normally, the employer must find some "light duty" or other work suitable for the employee who has not been completely released to go back to his former job. You definitely, without a doubt, should consult with legal counsel without any further delay. Worker's compensation lawyer's work on a contigency fee basis, meaning that you will not have to pay your attorney out of your own pocket. The attorney will take a fee out of the final settlement proceeds or other recover made on your behalf. I am not personally a worker's compensation expert, but I happen to know the most expert worker's compensation attorney in the state. If you would like to call me at my office (314-727-2822), I would be happy to make a referral and help you get the legal representation that you need.
