Helping You Get the Fair & Full Compensation You Deserve

Have you been injured at work? Whether at a construction site, in a traffic accident, while driving as part of your work duties, or in some other work situation, you may now be facing loss of wages, medical expenses, and other damages. Getting the maximum compensation you need and deserve from those responsible for your injuries can be complicated. 

You will likely be eligible for workers’ compensation, which provides some financial relief. However, workers’ compensation can be limited in scope and duration. In some cases, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against third parties who contributed to your injuries. To find out whether this is an option, you should seek the assistance of our Camden County workplace accident attorneys at Price & Randle. Our firm is dedicated to helping the injured recover their health and well-being through valid injury claims.

Negligence & Wrongdoing in the Workplace

In some workplace accidents, the negligence or wrongdoing of other parties may play a role in on-the-job injuries. Also, in some instances, employer wrongdoing can lead to potential legal claims.

Negligence and wrongdoing can involve:

• A poorly maintained work site
• Poorly maintained equipment or vehicles
• Defective equipment or vehicles
• Lack of or poorly enforced safety measures
• Toxic or chemical exposure
• Employer fraud
• Negligent supervision, hiring, training, and retaining of employees
• Intentional causation of emotional distress

Proving fault in any of these types of negligence can be difficult. That is why you will need a skilled legal professional who can conduct an exhaustive investigation into the actions of all those who may have been responsible. Whether the negligence results were physical, emotional, or mental damages, you may have the legal right to make a civil claim against the parties who caused it.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Workplace Accident?

In a workplace accident in Missouri, injured workers may be able to recover various types of damages depending on the accident's circumstances and the state's laws. Some examples of the types of damages that may be recoverable in a workplace accident in Missouri include:

• Medical expenses: Injured workers may be able to recover the costs of medical treatment related to their workplace injury, including hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and medication.
