PROTECTING MISSOURI’S INJURED WORKERS

Injured at Work in Missouri? You’re Not Alone with our Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Team

A workers’ compensation lawyer can make all the difference when you’ve been injured at work in Missouri. If you’re in pain, missing paychecks, and feeling overwhelmed by the system, you’re not alone. At Allen, Nelson & Wilson, we help injured workers understand their rights, file strong claims, and fight back when employers or insurance companies try to cut corners.

Every year, thousands of Missouri workers suffer job-related injuries. In 2023, the Missouri Department of Labor reported over 80,000 workplace injuries statewide. Many of those employees struggle to get medical care or lost wages covered. We know how stressful that feels. That’s why we focus on helping people get real results when it matters most.

How a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Helps You Navigate the Missouri System

Workers’ compensation law in Missouri is complicated. There are deadlines, strict rules for documentation, and plenty of opportunities for insurance companies to delay or deny your claim. A workers’ compensation lawyer understands how to anticipate those roadblocks and take action before they cost you.

We represent workers from the moment they file until the final resolution of their case. We help you collect medical records, file complete and timely claims, and advocate for full benefits. If your claim is denied, we will represent you in a hearing and, if needed, appeal the decision. We work to ensure you get every benefit the law allows.
