In 2001 over 6% of Missouri workers suffered non-fatal on the job injuries. This rate is higher than the national average of reported workers' compensation claims. Work-related accidents in 1992 caused 8,500 deaths and injured 3.3 million people. During that year, work-related accidents cost 115.9 billion dollars in medical bills and insurance payments. These numbers apply to you.

The injured worker is often taken advantage of because they do not know their rights. Your employer may not tell you of all the rights you have and the insurance company is strictly concerned with minimizing the cost of your claim. This means that they will not tell you about job retraining, overtime pay benefits, wage differential benefits, statute of limitations, notice requirements, repetitive traumas, maintenance payments when being retrained and settlements. If you have been injured at work, you should immediately contact the attorneys at Brown & Crouppen so that you can be assured that you are receiving all the benefits available to you.

If you have been injured while on the job, please consider contacting Brown & Crouppen. Even if you are already receiving benefits, it may be to your advantage to consult an experienced attorney to ensure that you are receiving the maximum benefits available under the law.
