James E. Martin
North Kansas City Workers Compensation Attorney
The Law Office of James E. Martin, Chartered, helps employees with work-related injuries receive the benefits they deserve. You should be compensated for medical bills, temporary disability, permanent partial disability, or permanent total disability, regardless of fault, and even if you question how serious the injury is. It is your employer’s obligation to provide workers’ compensation benefits to its employees, and it is your responsibility to take certain steps to trigger your company’s workers’ comp insurance coverage. If you suffer a work-related injury in Kansas or Missouri, call my office at (913)385-0500 to discuss your situation.
What to Do If You Are Injured at Work
Notify Employer of Injury: The first thing you should do if you are injured is notify your employer immediately and request medical treatment. In Kansas, you must tell your employer within ten (10) days about the injury and request medical care. In Missouri, you must notify your employer orally as soon as possible and also in writing within thirty (30) days. In either state, it is best to tell your employer immediately even if you don't know if you need medical care or will have any disability.
Contact an Attorney: In both states, if your employer refuses you medical care, or you feel you are not getting all the benefits you deserve, call a qualified attorney to assist you. In the Kansas City metro, call me at (913)385-0500.
You must give your employer an opportunity to provide benefits. If you fail to adequately notify your employer and request medical care, you risk your claim being denied.
