Frequently Asked Questions

What does a workers compensation attorney at Webster and Carlton actually do for me?
The attorneys handle the legal side of your claim, including filing paperwork, communicating with the insurance company, gathering medical evidence, and representing you at hearings if your claim is disputed or denied.
My employer says my injury is not covered. What are my options?
If your employer or their insurer is denying your claim, you have the right to contest that decision through the Missouri Division of Workers Compensation. Webster and Carlton can file on your behalf and present evidence supporting your claim.
What is a permanent partial disability in Missouri workers comp?
Permanent partial disability means your injury has left you with a lasting impairment that does not fully prevent you from working. Missouri awards compensation based on the body part affected and the percentage of disability, which is why having an attorney review your disability rating matters.
Does it cost money to hire Webster and Carlton for a workers comp case?
Workers compensation attorneys in Missouri typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they collect a percentage of your settlement or award rather than charging upfront fees. You should confirm the specific fee arrangement directly with the firm.
How long do workers compensation cases take in Missouri?
The timeline varies depending on whether your claim is disputed and the severity of your injury. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while contested cases or those involving permanent disability can take significantly longer.
Can I be fired for filing a workers compensation claim in Missouri?
Missouri law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing a workers compensation claim. If you believe you were fired or penalized because of your claim, that may give rise to a separate legal action.
