It is common knowledge among workers in the state of Missouri that if they are injured at work, they are entitled to some benefits under the state's Worker's Compensation system. However, few workers really understand what their rights are. It is highly advisable that you not attempt to manage your own Worker's Compensation case without the help of a knowledgeable and skilled Worker's Compensation
lawyer.
Generally, there are three main benefits under the system. The first benefit is medical treatment. Injuries that employees receive on the job are fully covered for medical care. State law, however, says that the employer or Worker's Compensation insurance carrier has the right to pick the doctor who will provide treatment.
