Lawrence County, Missouri Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

According to the Missouri Department of Labor (DOL), more than 50,000 on-the-job injuries and illnesses occur each year in our state. These can cause workers to be away from the job for weeks at a time and may result in permanent disabilities. In these cases, workers’ compensation benefits can help offset the financial losses you suffer, while helping to ensure you get the medical care and treatment you need.

At The Law Firm of Webster & Carlton, we know how confusing it can be to file a workers’ compensation claim and how often they end up being denied, delayed, or disputed. Our Lawrence County workers’ comp lawyers defend the rights of clients, helping them get the benefits they are entitled to for the following:

• Slip, trip, and fall injuries;
• Being struck by or against objects and machinery;
• Truck and motor vehicle transportation accidents;
• Injuries caused by defective materials and tools;
• Overuse and repetitive strain injuries;
• Occupational illnesses due to exposure to harmful substances or situations;
• On the job violence, either due to coworkers, customers, or clients.

When even a minor on-the-job accident occurs, it can leave you suffering serious harm. In addition to impacting your ability to work or perform certain tasks on your job, it can affect your home life while resulting in heavy medical debts.
