Workplace Accidents
Injury at the workplace is a common occurrence in Kansas City. Anyone injured at the workplace is entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for medical bills as well as lost wages. But, you may be entitled to more than just the workers’ comp benefits. Your workers’ comp benefits may be the exclusive remedy for an injury at work.
Top 5 most common workplace injuries for small businesses include:
- Overexertion
- Falls, slips or trips
- Transportation incidents
- Burns
- Lacerations
However, there are certain circumstances where you are entitled to compensation in addition to the workers’ comp benefits. It is very important that you schedule a free consultation with our Kansas City work injury lawyer so your specific situation can be properly evaluated to be sure you get everything to which you are entitled. Do not just assume you’re only entitlement when suffering an injury at work is the workers’ comp benefits. If you make that assumption, you may be cheating yourself out of full compensation.
