What are the Different Types of Workers Compensation?

If you were hurt or injured on the job, you could be entitled to as many as three different types of compensation, as described by the Missouri Workers Compensation Law. With the help of a St. Charles County workers' compensation lawyer, your chances of maximizing these benefits can be at their greatest.

The different types of workers' compensation are as follows:

• All medical expenses for your injury are authorized and covered by your employer.
• You can receive two-thirds of your weekly wage while you cannot work.
• You may be given a tax-free lump sum of compensation for injuries that cause permanent disability.

How Do You File a Workers Compensation Claim in Missouri?

You should first find emergency medical care if you've been injured on the job. Make sure you tell your doctor about all the pain and suffering you endured because of this incident, as it could be a sign of permanent disability. Also, make sure you inform your employer about the injury as soon as possible with a written report. If you don't, this can invalidate your chances of having a successful workers' compensation claim. In Missouri, you have 30 days to report the injury to your employer.

You must include the following details in your report:

• The specifics regarding your injury
• The date, time, and location where you were injured
• The nature and extent of the injury or illness
• All current contact information

You'll also need to keep track of all witnesses, the days of work you missed, and out-of-pocket expenses regarding your injury. Coyne, Cundiff, and Hilleman, PC can help with your workers' compensation claim if you've been injured on the job.
