Getting You Back to Work
Have you been injured at work? Does the injury prevent you from returning to your job? Your employer may be required to pay for the vocational rehabilitation necessary to get you back to work.
At the law firm of Keefe & Griffiths, we have helped more than 20,000 injured workers throughout Missouri and Illinois. Our lawyers know what steps to take to help you maintain a steady income after a disabling work injury.
When Is Vocational Rehabilitation Required?
The unfortunate reality is that many work-related injuries directly affect parts of the body that are critical to performing job duties. Back injuries often happen in jobs that require constant lifting. Repetitive stress injuries to hands, wrists, elbows or shoulders often happen in jobs that require constant arm movements.
If a doctor decides that you are no longer able to return to your previous line of work, vocational rehabilitation can be ordered in Illinois and may be offered in Missouri.
Earning an Income During Vocational Rehabilitation
Vocational rehabilitation can be time consuming — time during which you are not earning an income. Fortunately, you may be able to receive lost wage benefits from your employer during your voc rehab period.
With a history of more than 50 years helping injured employees, you can be confident that our firm will help you explore all possible options to pursue the workers' compensation benefits you need.
Getting Fair Compensation
The size of an opponent does not make any difference to us. We have successfully taken on nearly all of the major employers in Missouri and Illinois.
Our attorneys are willing to work hard to see that you get fair treatment.
All Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
You are not required to pay a retainer or advance any costs. If we win your workers' compensation case, our fee will be a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.
