Filing a workers’ compensation claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re focused on recovery. We guide you through the entire process: completing paperwork, meeting deadlines, and protecting your rights so you can move forward with confidence.
If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, you don’t have to accept that outcome. Our attorneys will review your case, challenge unfair denials, and pursue the compensation you need for medical care, lost wages, and long-term support.

No employee should face harassment, retaliation, or wrongful termination for filing a claim. Our attorneys advocate for injured workers who are treated unfairly by employers and ensure that your rights are fully protected under Missouri and Illinois employment law.
Understanding your rights is the first step to protecting yourself in the workplace. Missouri workers have strong legal rights under both state and federal employment laws. These include the right to pursue fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and disability; the right to challenge an employment dispute in district court or before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); the right to seek legal advice from an experienced employment attorney when facing harassment, retaliation, or wrongful termination; and the right to representation in disputes involving labor unions, severance agreements, and overtime pay issues.
We evaluate your case, gather medical records, review workplace documentation, and determine the best strategy.
We handle all communications and negotiations to protect you from lowball offers or retaliation.
If negotiations fail, we are ready to pursue your case through the proper legal channels.
Our goal is to secure the full compensation and benefits you deserve under Missouri and Illinois law.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. A labor lawyer typically focuses on issues involving unions, collective bargaining agreements, and disputes between employers and labor unions. An employment lawyer, on the other hand, represents individual employees in disputes involving employment contracts, severance agreements, workplace discrimination, workers’ compensation claims, and other employment law issues.

Beyond financial recovery, legal action can also hold employers accountable and help prevent similar mistreatment in the future. Our attorneys review each case carefully to provide honest legal advice about whether litigation is the best path forward.
