Filing a workers' compensation claim is free and should be one of your first steps if you're injured at work. If you are injured at work, you are generally entitled to medical care, a portion of your lost wages if you’re unable to work due to your work injury, and a potential settlement.

Hiring a workers' compensation attorney may incur costs; however, those who are represented often recover more than those who are not. We can help make sure you are:

a) Receiving benefits you’re entitled to,

b) Obtain an IME after the authorized treating workers’ compensation physician releases you,

c) and fight for fair compensation.

Most workers' compensation lawyers charge a contingency fee, meaning they take a percentage of your total settlement or financial award, plus expenses. In Kansas and Missouri, the contingency fee is generally 25%.

A contingency contract means that if you do not recover any money, you owe nothing to the lawyer. Most lawyers will also waive all expenses if you do not receive any compensation.

It's essential to understand all the billing details and what you will owe. Contact us today at 816-842-7100 to speak with an attorney dedicated to securing the compensation you deserve. Alternatively, click here to email us and schedule your free consultation.
