Acquiring the Workers' Compensation Benefits You Deserve

Workers' compensation insurance helps protect your financial interests when you are injured on the job. Typically, any injury suffered in the performance of your job duties qualifies for a workers' comp claim. These benefits can include medical treatment and rehabilitation, replacement of a portion of lost wages, compensation for permanent disability and death benefits.

The St. Louis area attorneys at the Law Office of Kenneth P. Carp want to help you receive the workers' compensation benefits you deserve for your long-term medical and financial needs.

Medical Treatment

Our primary focus is to ensure you are getting appropriate medical treatment. We understand that you are suffering both physical and financial stress due to your work-related injuries and your denied benefits claim. We want to ensure that your injury rating is appropriate and your treatment is suited to your needs.

The Best Doctor?

Once your claim is filed, the workers' compensation department usually requires that a workers' comp physician provide your treatment. But is that in your best interest?

In some cases, a workers' comp doctor might not give you adequate time to heal before determining your fitness to return to work. Perhaps you do not agree with their diagnosis and treatment plan. In these and similar situations, our lawyers can step in and help you arrange to consult with a different physician.

Injury Rating

An important factor of your potential settlement is your injury rating. This rating is used in addition to your disability diagnosis and prognosis to determine your compensation for a permanent disability you have suffered. The degree of disability is often difficult to distinguish and may be evaluated by more than one doctor or expert.

Hearings

What if you disagree with the settlement offer? When this happens, we can represent your case in a Workers' Compensation Division hearing. These relatively informal hearings provide a forum for discussing your situation. We can present supporting documentation outlining your disability and the necessary amount of medical treatment.

We strive to ensure that your final settlement can cover your short and long-term medical and financial hardships.
