Work Injury Coverage | St. Louis Worker Compensation
What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?
I’m attorney Josh Myers of Schultz and Myers. One of the questions our personal injury law firm often gets is related to workers’ compensation. People often want to know do they need a lawyer if they’ve been hurt at work.
So I want to talk to you a little bit today about that. First, workers’ compensation is supposed to cover three different things. It’s supposed to pay for any time off work. It’s supposed to pay you for all your medical treatment that you need to get you better, not when the insurance company says you’re all done. Then finally, it pays for a lump sum settlement at the end.
Now of course the insurance companies that pay for all of these things are in the business of making money. They want to pay out as little as possible. So if you’ve been hurt at work always at least talk with your own lawyer for a workers’ compensation case. I invite you to give us a call. We’ll be happy to talk to you. Just remember the fours. Call us at (314) 444-4444. Thanks.
