FAQ
Questions we hear most
Still unsure? A free case review gives you a clear picture and your next step.
Yes. Call us any hour or send the details. An attorney or paralegal takes them down, and you can usually expect a call back by the next day.
If we take your case, we are paid only if you recover. In Missouri workers’ compensation cases, attorney fees are limited to 25% of your final settlement.
Usually five years from the date of the incident. Medical malpractice claims have a shorter limit of two years. Evidence fades quickly, so don’t wait.
Your employer must cover the medical, surgical and hospital treatment you reasonably need, and your prescriptions. Your employer chooses the treating doctor; you may pick your own at your own expense.
Generally two years from the date of the injury, or from your last payment under the law. Some exceptions allow three years. Call us to check whether you still have time.
