St. Louis Workers' Compensation Center

I just put up a new blogpost today on my website, stlouisworkerscompensationcenter.com. Just click on it and the Blog button up at top left. In the post I discuss a court of appeals case involving Conagra as employer in which they said worker Jon Phillips, who fell on a slightly angled ramp and went down on his hip and leg, injuring both. The appeals court upheld the decision of the administrative judge who heard the case and found the fall and injury to be work-related an...d granted him Missouri workers’ comp benefits. Conagra kept appealing the decision, arguing that since Phillips had previously fractured the knee his leg could have just as easily collapsed off work and that the cause of the accident was unknown, either one making it a non-work-related injury. Please read my latest blog to find out how his attorney managed to prove the case. So many cases are difficult to prove. That's why you need a good lawyer to prove them. I can help you do that.

In it I talk about a case where a campus dorm housekeeper was on a paid break playing basketball outside the dorm in her employer-required no-slip shoes when her left foot got stuck on the blacktop and she twisted and fractured a bone in that foot. Her attorney succeeded in overcoming many legal obstacles to convince a judge and then the appeals commission that her injury was work-related and qualified her for compensation benefits.

My latest post discusses how you would usually need your own medical expert to read the company doctors' treatment records on you, interview and examine you, and write a report on the injuries and permanent disability you suffered for your work accident or exposure. Then your expert would have to be ready to testify for yo...u at a deposition at which the insurance company's attorney could question him. Otherwise whatever the company doctor says goes unchallenged. The doctors they send you to will always either deny or minimize your work injuries, release you way too soon, and say you suffered little or no permanent disability you could get paid benefits for. You need your own expert to fight back. I can find and hire the experts you need to do that and prepare your case for trial. Even if you eventually settle your case you would need your own expert to show the insurance company that you could prove your injury case against them. Please call me at no charge to discuss your work injuries and what we could do together to fight back and win all the benefits they denied you. I can help.

Today I put up a new blog post on my website, stlouisworkerscompensationcenter.com. Please click on the website and press the blog button to read it. The post talks about a Missouri court of appeals case, Bierman v. Violette, in which the injured worker was allowed to proceed with a separate negligence lawsuit against a coworker who set up a ladder for her to climb down on without safely locking it into place in addition to pursuing a workers comp claim against her employer. ...Normally you aren't allowed to do both, but this case was an exception. When Bierman stepped down onto the ladder it collapsed and Bierman fell down onto a concrete restaurant counter below, seriously injuring herself. Normally workers hurt on the job can only file claims against their employers for workers' comp but are barred from filing negligence lawsuits in court against the company, management or their coworkers. Ms. Bierman was allowed to continue with her lawsuit only because of the separate act of negligently setting up the ladder so that it was sure to collapse under whoever was using it. In order to have any hope of getting any adequate medical treatment or money compensation for a work injury, you really need to hire a skilled attorney. St. Louis Workers Compensation Center can do that for you. Please call if you have any kind of case to discuss and need help with.
