Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a workplace injury in Kansas City?

The first step is to seek medical attention. After addressing your medical needs, report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. This is crucial for initiating your workers' compensation claim. Document the incident thoroughly, including details of how the injury occurred and any witnesses present. Finally, consider reaching out to a Kansas City workers' compensation attorney to guide you through the claims process and ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.

How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in Kansas?

In Kansas, you generally have 200 days from the date of your injury to file a workers' compensation claim. However, it is advisable to report the injury to your employer immediately and file your claim as soon as possible to avoid any complications. Delaying your claim can lead to challenges in receiving benefits.

What types of benefits can I receive from a workers' compensation claim in Kansas City?

In Kansas City, workers' compensation benefits can include medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for permanent disability if applicable. Medical benefits cover the costs of treatment related to your injury, while wage loss benefits provide financial support if you are unable to work during your recovery. If your injury results in a permanent impairment, you may be entitled to additional compensation.

What if my employer denies my workers' compensation claim?

If your workers' compensation claim is denied by your employer, it is important to understand that you still have options. You can appeal the decision, and it is often beneficial to seek legal assistance during this process. A Kansas City workers' compensation attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence and documentation to support your claim. They can also represent you in hearings or negotiations and fight for the benefits you are entitled to.

Medical Care for Injured Workers

The first thing that you should do when you are injured on the job is to seek medical treatment. You will need to report the incident to your employer, but your health should be the first concern. Your employer or insurer is legally obligated to cover the cost of all reasonable medical treatment for the injury or illness. This also means that you should not have a deductible to pay. Included in this is the actual treatment, medical devices and prescriptions that are given. It is important that you are aware of this so that if you are billed you can make sure that it is addressed.

While your medical treatment should be covered, you may not always be able to choose the healthcare provider or physician that you are treated by. If you do wish to see another physician that your employer or the insurer is unwilling to cover, then you can do this at your own expense. Since seeking treatment options can be time consuming, there is the option of an employer using paid time off, sick days or personal leave to account for this time. When travel is necessary for treatment, the employer will need to pay for reasonable expenses. After you have been treated, contact a lawyer from our workers' compensation law firm to start seeking benefits for your injuryor illness.
