Police Officer and Law Enforcement Employee Work Comp Lawyers

In protecting and serving the public, police officers place themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis.  While medical treatment is the responsibility of your employer, you are most likely also entitled to a lump sum disability benefit for your injury.  Your employer will not likely make you aware of all of the benefits that you are entitled to for your injury.  The Hein Law Firm represents law enforcement employees.

Because of the nature of patrol work, police officers are involved in motor vehicle accidents, including injuries caused from high speed pursuits.  We have effectively represented police officers injured in motor vehicle accidents and pursued causes of action against those who were at fault for the accident.  

Prison guards and corrections officers are subject to assaults by prisoners and injuries incurred performing a wide variety of law enforcement tasks.

Discapacidad Parcial Permanente y Discapacidad Permanente Total

Hay una serie de beneficios a los que tiene derecho como trabajador lesionado bajo la ley de Compensación de Trabajadores de Missouri. El beneficio por la cual su abogado es más usualmente contratado es para obtener Permanent Parcial Disability (PPD o Discapacidad Parcial Permanente). Los beneficios de PDD se obtienen después de que el médico proporcionado por el empleador complete el tratamiento al trabajador lesionado. A raíz de la mayoría de los accidentes de trabajo, el trabajador lesionado será clasificado en tener un determinado nivel de incapacidad permanente de una lesión en particular. Muchos trabajadores no se dan cuenta después de completar el tratamiento médico que tienen derecho a un pago adicional por un monto de discapacidad relacionada con su lesión. Una lesión de espalda, o un corte puede producir un pago adicional por incapacidad que el lesionado tiene derecho a recibir.

El monto del pago de PPD que usted como trabajador lesionado tiene derecho a recibir es mejor valorado y determinado por un abogado experto que ha practicado en la ley de Compensación de trabajadores durante muchos años y tiene conocimiento sobre el valor de esos casos. A menudo, nuestra Firma envía a nuestros clientes a médicos para Evaluaciones Médicas Independientes (IME) para determinar el nivel de discapacidad que es justo y apropiado para una lesión relacionada con su trabajo. Nuestra firma ha sido reconocida por su capacidad para maximizar el monto de pago que recibe un empleado por una lesión laboral.

Los Beneficios por Incapacidad Permanente Total están disponibles para los empleados que, debido a una lesión en el trabajo, ya no son capaces de trabajar más en el mercado de trabajo. Beneficios semanales están disponibles para el resto de la vida del empleado que ya no puede trabajar debido a su lesión. Los beneficios por Incapacidad Permanente Total pueden ser obtenidos de su último empleador o del Fondo de Lesión Secundaria (Second Injury Fund), si se determina que su lesión junto con otras lesiones precedentes resultaron en su condición de discapacidad permanente.

There are a number of benefits to which you are entitled as an injured worker under to Missouri Workers’ Compensation law.  The benefit that your lawyer is most usually employed to obtain is called Permanent Partial Disability (PPD).  PPD benefits are obtained after the doctor provided by the employer completes treatment of the injured worker.  Following most work-related injuries, the injured worker is rated as having a particular level of permanent disability from a particular injury.  Many injured workers are not aware after completing medical treatment that they are entitled to an additional payment for an amount of disability related to an injury.  A cut or minor back injury will still likely produce some amount of disability payment that the employee is entitled to receive.

The amount of PPD payment that you as an injured worker are entitled to receive is best valued and determined by knowledgeable legal counsel who has practiced in Workers’ Compensation law for many years and has knowledge as to the value of such claims.  Often, our Firm sends clients to doctors we know for independent medical evaluations (IME) to determine the level of disability that is fair and appropriate for a work-related injury.  Our firm has been recognized for its ability to maximize the amount of payment that an employee receives for a work injury.

Permanent Total Disability benefits are available to employees who, because of a work injury, are determined to be unable to work any longer on the open labor market.  Weekly benefits are available for the remainder of the life of an employee who is no longer able to work because of such an injury. Permanent Total Disability benefits may be obtain from you last employer or from the Second Injury Fund if it is determined that your last work injury combined with previous injuries resulted in the condition of permanent disability.
