What are my rights under Missouri law if I am injured at work?
You have the right to receive medical treatment for job related injuries, at your employer’s expense. You can also receive (statutory prescribed) money compensation while you are recovering from your injuries. Once you recover from your injuries, you may be entitled a lump sum payment to compensate for any permanent disabilities that you sustained as a result of your job injury. You may also be entitled to other future benefits such as future medical treatment, medications and future disability payments.
