Where Do I File My Claim?

James E. Martin, Attorney at Law

Greater Kansas City Area - Missouri and Kansas Representation

The workers’ compensation rules differ between Kansas and Missouri. If you live in Kansas and work in Missouri, or vice versa, you need an attorney with significant experience in both states' workers’ compensation laws. I am licensed in both states and have more than 30 years of legal experience, mostly dedicated to workers’ comp. Call (913)385-0500 to schedule a free consultation to discuss where to file your workers’ compensation claim at the Law Office of James E. Martin, Chartered, in Overland Park, Kansas.

Where to File for Workers’ Compensation

I represent injured workers throughout the KC metro area, and can help you on either side of the Kansas-Missouri border. Because of the complicated issues that come into play in deciding where to file, you should discuss the where-to-file question with a qualified attorney. Depending on where you live and work, you may be able to file claims in either state, or in both states, to get the best benefits package.

It is very important to report the injury to your employer and talk to an attorney like me who knows the rules on both sides of the border to help you file a claim ASAP. If you are injured, you do not want to limit your options or risk denied claims. Notify your employer right away, request treatment, and call (913)385-0500 to discuss your situation with me.
