When Preexisting Injuries Are Involved

Workers' compensation cases can be very complex. They are made even more complex when they involve a workplace injury that is more severe due to a preexisting disability. The Second Injury Fund exists to help workers get fair treatment in these unique situations.

With more than 50 years of service to workers in Missouri and Illinois, the law firm of Keefe & Griffiths can help you. Our attorneys understand every aspect of workers' comp. You will get fair treatment when you have us on your side.

Missouri Second Injury Fund Claims

In Missouri, Second Injury Fund claims can be filed any time a workplace injury combines with a pre-existing disability to cause greater disability overall. They can be filed in anything from repetitive stress injury cases to cases involving severe back injuries.

Second Injury Fund Benefits Are Added to Workers' Comp Benefits

Benefits obtained from the Second Injury Fund are not meant to stand alone. Instead, they are a supplement to the standard workers' compensation.

Together, they are meant to provide you with sufficient benefits to cover your expenses and provide income while you are unable to work.
