Workers’ Compensation Experts

In Missouri, your employer must pay healthcare costs for injuries that occur at work or while you’re on the job. The catch? Your employer usually chooses the treating doctor—who also decides when you’re “recovered.” Too often, that call is made too soon, leaving injured workers without full healing or fair benefits.

Work should provide income and security. An on-the-job injury can upend your health and livelihood. If your workers’ compensation claim has been delayed, denied, or mishandled, turn to Wolff Trial Lawyers for help.

Understand Your Rights (Missouri Workers’ Compensation)

If you were hurt at work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits while you recover. Benefits can help cover medical bills and replace wages—critical support when you’re sidelined by injury. But the system is complex and deadlines are strict. Our attorneys will review your claim, explain your options, and protect your rights at every step.

Retaliation is illegal: Missouri law prohibits employers from firing or harassing you for filing a workers’ compensation claim.

Common Types of Workplace Injuries

Some injuries cause permanent disability; others still require long recoveries and create serious financial strain. We fight to make sure your medical treatment and benefits reflect the real impact on your life and ability to work.

What Should You Do If You Get Hurt on the Job?

• Report immediately: Tell a supervisor and request medical evaluation—call emergency services if needed.
• Get medical care: See the authorized doctor; if symptoms worsen, ask for follow-up or referral.
• File the claim: Complete the workers’ compensation report accurately and keep a copy.
• Document everything: Note dates, witnesses, restrictions, denied tests, canceled appointments.
• Call us early: We can help prevent mistakes and protect your claim from day one.

What Benefits Are Workers Entitled To?

What If Your Compensation Is Denied or Insufficient?

Insurers frequently dispute claims, restrict treatment, or terminate benefits prematurely. If your claim is denied—or your checks stop while your doctor says you can’t work—get legal help. Wolff Trial Lawyers negotiates aggressively and litigates when necessary to secure the medical care and benefits you’re owed.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?

Many injured workers downplay their injuries or assume the process will be automatic. It isn’t. Your decisions early on can shape your benefits and recovery. We offer a free consultation to evaluate your claim and guide your next steps.

How Do I Know If I Need an Attorney?

You have the right to an attorney at any point. It’s especially wise to call us if:

• An administrative judge or insurer suggests you “should get a lawyer.”
• The insurer denies or delays your claim, treatment, or weekly checks.
• Your case needs a formal hearing or appeal.
• Your employer retaliates or you feel you’re being treated unfairly.
• You may have a permanent disability or cannot return to your prior job.

We provide end-to-end representation: careful case assessment, filing and paperwork, direct communication with the insurer and employer, strategic negotiation, and assertive litigation when required. You’ll get clear guidance, frequent updates, and a team that treats you with respect.
