Kansas City KS Workers’ Compensation Lawyer – Getting You Paid:
Almost all employers in Kansas and Missouri are required by law to carry
insurance for workers' compensation claims.
These insurance policies are intended to cover all necessary and
reasonable medical expenses for the duration of your injury.
If you as the employee miss more than a certain number of days at
work, you are entitled to receive temporary total disability benefits,
which is partial payment for your lost wages.
After you have completed your medical treatment, if you as the
employee have any permanent partial or total disability as a result of
your injury, you may be entitled to either a settlement or court award
for your injuries.
