When You Are Too Injured to Go Back to Work

For some people an on the job injury or disability is so severe that it prevents them from ever returning to their job, and in some cases returning to the workforce at all. In these serious cases you have to face difficult questions about how you will be supported for years and decades to come. Will you be able to ensure that you get the right and best options through the workers' compensation process on your own? Social Security Benefits may be an option for you. We can assist you in retaining an experienced and dedicated attorney who can assist you with a Social Security Disability (SSDI) claim.

Our attorney brings a proven record of success and a focus on client service to every case.

Know and Protect Your Rights

There are many situations that can lead to a permanent disability case, especially if you are limited in your job options. If you have been doing the same job for twenty years and aren't trained to do anything else, even a relatively minor disability that prevents you from doing that work can result in permanent and total disability.

Permanent disability injuries can include, but are not limited to:

• Back injuries
• Head and neck injuries
• Repetitive stress injuries
• Psychological injuries
• Chronic pain
• Environmental exposure related illness

While we operate in Kansas as well as the Kansas City Metro area and throughout Missouri, it is important to know that Missouri laws allow for a Second Injury Fund which compensates for a pre-existing condition, potentially increasing your total benefit. As your lawyer, we will fully review your workers compensation injury case and work to find the best options and maximum benefits for you.
