Workers Compensation Attorney Springfield MO

Injuries in the workplace are common. Whether you work at a desk or on a roof, accidents can happen. Thankfully, there are state and federal laws in place that allow workers to receive benefits from their employer while they recover from their injuries. Sometimes, however, employers and their insurance companies refuse to do what’s right. When that happens, Tad Morlan will help you fight to get the benefits you deserve!

Workers’ compensation claims cover all types of injuries, here are some of the more common injuries:

  • Injuries of the head, neck or spine
  • Severe burns
  • Broken & fractured bones
  • Back pain
  • Heart attacks
  • Mesothelioma
  • Knee injuries
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shoulder pain
  • Illness resulting from chemical exposure
  • Chronic headaches
  • Lung disease

When do you need a Workman's Comp Lawyer?

  • The insurance company is denying your case
  • You are not getting the medical care you believe you need
  • Tests or surgery ordered by the authorized treating physician are denied or canceled
