Whether a work comp case or a car accident injury, people need an injury lawyer to battle the insurance companies.

A work comp insurer refused to pay for medical care that was ordered per a trial award I won for an injured client. I then went back to court for a second trial and the court "commuted" the future medical award to a lump sum of $800,000. These work comp adjusters simply don't care. Workers' compensation attorneys need to hire experts and go to trial so a message is sent.God bless,James Hoffmann314 361 4300St. Louis, Mo work comp lawyer John “Chicken hawk” K. ★★★★★ He's my attorney he's real good I would highly recommend himResponse from the ownerThank you John.

Workers comp is getting tougher in Missouri for injured employees as Jefferson City is passing more laws that favor the insurance companies. Your Missouri attorney needs to get experts, take depos, and prepare the case for trial. They won't offer future medical care or agree to a perm total.... your work comp attorney needs to fight for it. Hard work pays off!Law Office of James M.

Going against an employer on a work injury claim is difficult without a lawyer. I highly recommend you hire this attorney.Response from the ownerThanks Matt. Injured workers are always surprised when their PCP or ER records don't mention that the injury happened at work. It's your right to use your health insurance for a work comp injury. What your PCP or the ER fears is their bill not being paid by health insurance because a work injury was mentioned in the records. Your health insurance should pay, but like work comp insurers, they are all bullies and don't hesitate to wrongfully deny claims. Jefferson City can pass laws to stop this. If you want to settle cheap, then go without a lawyer.Law Office of James M. HoffmannSt. Louis, MO work comp lawyer314 361 4300 jasmyn L. ★★★★★ I recommend this lawyer for any St. Louis work injury claims. This lawyer fought the workers comp adjuster and attorney throughout the entire compensation claim. He gets very good results on his cases.Response from the ownerThank you Jasmyn. The fight will continue as our lawmakers in Jefferson City are passing more laws that favor the Missouri workers compensation insurance companies. Injured workers need representation as the employer/insurer hires an attorney for every case. Plus, not complying with the work comp laws can get your case dismissed or benefits substantially reduced. Glad to help anytime.Law Office of James M.

Experienced Missouri Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury Representation
Our Missouri Workers’ Compensation Attorneys can provide you with the necessary information to make the right choices so that you can receive the best medical care, benefits, and income. Missouri Workers’ Comp enables an injured worker to receive medical benefits as well as income benefits. You should be receiving treatment for ALL of your injuries, not just the ones the insurance company wants to accept. Do not let the carrier deny you benefits. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can stop the carrier and employer from harassing you into returning to work before your doctor says that you are ready to return to work. In addition, you need to make certain you have a good doctor working for your interests, not trying to make the insurance company happy so that they can maintain a good relationship with the carrier.
It is important to understand that a workers’ compensation claim is an administrative process that is less contentious than a civil dispute. Generally, your employer and co-workers are never bothered by us.

Putting Missouri Workers Comp Laws to Work for You
Our attorney, James M. Hoffmann, works with employees from a wide range of industries to pursue the right benefits or to appeal a denial of your injury claim. We can help you access Missouri’s Second Injury Fund if you had a pre-existing injury or disability prior to your new injury.
