Did you know that in 2005 Missouri passed a law that requires Judges to approve a Workers’ Compensation settlement, even if the settlement is completely unfair? That’s right, in 2005, the insurance lobbyist got a new law passed which prevents Judges from telling an unrepresented, injured worker, that the settlement they are being offered is totally unfair. The insurance companies know this and are now using the new law to settle Workers’ Compensation cases for substantially less than they know the cases are worth. If you or a family member has been injured at work, chances are you need a Workers’ Compensation attorney to make sure you receive a fair settlement. Call the McDuffey & Medcalf Law Firm, LLC for a free consultation about the value of your Workers’ Compensation case.

If you are injured at work and are having problems with your claim, our team of workers’ compensation lawyers can help you with your claim.
