Your employer cannot fire you while the claim is pending. However, they can choose to fire you after the case is closed.

Fortunately, if getting fired is a concern for you, there are ways you can get paid without having to prove your employer did anything wrong. It’s called a “No fault deal.” Or, if there’s a third party involved, you may be able to sue them without involving your employer at all. You have options, and our workplace accident lawyers are here to help you evaluate them.

We completely understand. One of the following options may work better for you:

• Product liability claim – if you were hurt by a product that the manufacturer knew was dangerous, you may be able to sue the manufacturer
• Premises liability claim – if you were hurt on someone else’s property, you may be able to file a claim against the property owner
• Crime victim claim – if you were hurt as a result of a crime, you may have additional options
• Other third-party claims – if a third party was involved, you may be able to sue them without involving your employer
• No fault deal – this will allow you to get paid without having to prove your employer did anything wrong

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

Of course, top priority is always to get the medical attention needed. Beyond that:

1. Notify your employer immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A workplace report provides required notice to your employer, helps provide objective evidence about how an accident happened, and helps provide important information about the people involved. Missouri law requires that you report to your employer within 30 days of the injury. Kansas requires 20.
2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a workplace accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them.
3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
4. If possible, take photographs – Seeing the damage and aftermath has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road.
6. Call our workplace injury lawyers as soon as possible – so we can develop a proactive litigation strategy before valuable evidence disappears.

Workers’ compensation settlements in Missouri and Kansas typically take several months to reach. Factors such as the extent of the injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and disputes over liability or the value of the claim can prolong the settlement process.

Each case is unique, but our work injury attorneys are committed to digging deeper to uncover your maximum compensation. We will thoroughly explore compensation for:

• Severity and long-term impact of the injury, regardless of medical expenses
• Medical expense reimbursement – including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment
• Disability and impairment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Wrongful death damages – in the tragic event of a fatality, surviving family members may be eligible for compensation

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

1. How great are your losses?
2. How egregious is the liability?
3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
4. Where will you have to file suit?
5. Are you likeable?
