Since August of 2005, when the new workers’ compensation laws became effective in Missouri, we have seen an ever increasing number of proper and legitimate claims be denied by insurers prior to the worker hiring our firm. One of the most significant claims was a new definition on injury at and accident. In Missouri injured workers must show that work was the prevailing factor (not just a substantial factor) in causing the resulting disability or medical condition. An accident under the new Missouri workers compensation law is defined as an unexpected traumatic event or unusual strain identifiable by the time and place of occurrence caused by a specific event during a single work shift. The prevailing factor is defined as the primary factor or relation to any other factor, causing both the medical condition and disability. these changes were not intended to benefit employees filing legitimate claims. Given these changes and the complexities on Missouri workers compensation law it is more important than ever to have a Missouri workers compensation lawyer review your claim and protect your rights. Today we are fighting for medical treatment and comparability for our clients in claims that were never or rarely disputed in the past. If you are told that you’re injury is not compassable and you need to obtain your own medical treatment, CALL US IMMEDIATELY as your claim may be harmed without legal advice.
