What you should do after you are injured

Take the steps necessary to protect yourself after you have been injured in a workplace accident. Your responsive, prompt actions are important to preserve your rights and improve your chances of recovery. After your injury, you should:

• Report your injury to your employer or supervisor — Do this as soon as you reasonably can. Failure to notify your employer of your accident or illness within 30 days may jeopardize your eligibility for workers compensation benefits.
• Get the medical care you need — Your employer or its insurance carrier is required to pay all costs of your immediate medical care — including treatments, prescription medications and medical devices. Getting the appropriate treatment may increase your chances of physical recovery and provides necessary proof of your eligibility for legal recovery of benefits.
• Apply for workers compensation benefits — Your employer pays workers compensation insurance premiums in compliance with Missouri laws. Now that you have sustained an injury or suffered an illness because of a work-related accident or condition, you have the right to receive coverage. Contact our St. Louis law office so our lawyer can provide you with immediate assistance with your workers compensation application.
