A: Generally, under the Missouri Workers’ Compensation Law, an employee must file a Claim for Compensation with the Division of Workers’ Compensation, within two years from the date of injury or last payment made on account of the injury by the employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier. In some situations, this period may be extended to three years if the employer/insurer does not timely file the First Report of Injury.
Important Tip: If you are unsure about whether you have missed the deadline to file, don’t assume you are too late, contact our office.
