It should be simple — you were hurt at work and your employer's insurance carrier pays your medical bills, lost wages and a lump sum settlement. In reality, you will likely need an attorney to enforce all your rights and secure all the compensation to which you are entitled. Your employer's insurance company and attorney will not tell you all that you need to know.
If you have been injured at work, the Workers' Compensation system can seem complicated and confusing. Steve Stenger handles cases every day to a successful conclusion by using his medical contacts and experience to assess the true value of his clients' cases. Steve is well known in the Workers' Compensation Division and frequently appears before the administrative law judges throughout Missouri and Illinois.
Steve Stenger will go to trial against any company big or small to protect your rights under workers' compensation laws. Even if your claim is first denied, call attorney Stenger. Steve Stenger has the experience, resources, and manpower to fight big cases and win. Mr. Stenger has never lost a case for a worker injured or hurt on the job.
Attorney Stenger handles every type of work injury and condition:
- Falls, knee injuries, shoulder injuries, back injuries, broken bones and other accidents
- Injuries from machinery, heavy equipment or factories
- Carpal Tunnel
- Occupational illness (repetitive stress injury, chemical exposure)
- Permanent partial disability (e.g., severed fingers, nerve damage)
- Permanent total disability (injuries preventing you from returning to the same job)
- Disfigurement settlements (scars and deformity)
- Death benefits
If you are injured on the job:
Inform your employer immediately when you are hurt at work. This is important for several reasons:
Employees who do not inform their employers of an injury within thirty days may lose their rights to workers' compensation benefits.
Medical care for your injury is covered under workers' compensation, but your employer has the legal right to choose your physician.
