Worker's Compensation

Kansas City Workers Compensation and FELA Lawyer

Following a work-related accident that caused a serious injury, many of our clients were initially told that they did not and should not retain the services of an attorney. At the Law Offices of Steve Sanders L.C. in Kansas City, Missouri, we encourage our clients to speak with us regarding their on the job accident, so that we can determine whether or not they may be entitled to workers compensation benefits.

Recent studies conducted in the state of Missouri have shown that on average workers compensation claimants achieve better results with an attorney, as opposed to not having any legal representation. At the Law Offices of Steve Sanders L.C., we help maximize the benefits that our clients are entitled to and reassure them that there can be no repercussions just because they retained counsel.

Please note that accidents which occur on a construction site present the opportunity to file a third-party claim. In these scenarios, the employer is usually shielded by work-comp laws from a claim in civil court, but, the contractor or sub-contractor may have a claim filed against them. Moreover, if your accident was caused by a defective tool or piece of machinery, we may file a third-party claim on your behalf against the product manufacturer.

We review medical reports to determine the extent of your injuries and will be zealous advocates for you throughout the entire process. If experts need to be retained, we have a network of highly-qualified professionals from various industries, who we can call upon to aid us in building your case.

In the unfortunate event a work related injury has unusually complex facts, we may join with another law firm to more effectively manage the complexities of your work injury case. While attorney Steve Sanders prides himself on his ability to effectively settle and litigate cases, various perspectives and collective knowledge must be brought to the table to ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your tragic loss.
