Workplace Accidents

While most work-related injuries in Missouri are handled through the workers’ compensation system, there are some situations where an injured worker may also have a personal injury claim — and the difference matters.

If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer or co-worker, you may be able to pursue compensation outside of workers’ comp. These are called third-party claims, and they can become complicated extremely quickly. Third-party personal injury claims can provide additional compensation that workers’ comp typically does not cover.

If you’ve been hurt at work and something feels off — or someone outside your employer was involved — it’s worth having your situation reviewed. You might be entitled to more than workers’ comp alone provides.
