Legal Representation for Job-Related Leg, Knee, and Ankle Injuries

The legs are comprised of a series of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues, all of which work together. MedlinePlus advises that injuries or overuse in any area can impact your ability to walk, stand, or make other movements and can affect the entire leg or specific locations in the knees or ankles. When leg, knee, or ankle problems occur as the result of your job, you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. At The Law Firm of Webster & Carlton, we represent clients who have suffered the following:

• Bone fractures and dislocated joints;
• Muscle, tendon, or ligament sprains, strains, and tears;
• Worn cartilage in the areas between joints and muscles;
• Bursitis, tendonitis, and other types of inflammatory issues.

These injuries often occur as the result of sudden trauma, such as from a slip and fall or being struck by or against an object. They can also occur due to overuse and strain or from repetitive use that occurs over the course of years.

What Damages Could Be Recovered?

When leg, knee, and ankle injuries occur on the job, you may be eligible for benefits through the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC). At The Law Firm of Webster & Carlton, our experienced Missouri workers' compensation attorneys can advise you on your rights to the following:

• Medical benefits, which cover follow-up visits, diagnostic testing, treatment, medication, and physical rehabilitation;
• Reimbursement for lost earnings while you recover;
• Payments for temporary disabilities you suffer as the result of your injury;
• Permanent disability benefits in the event your injuries prevent you from working or performing certain tasks on your job in the future.

Unfortunately, filing a claim through your employer and getting the benefits you are entitled to can prove challenging. Our Missouri workers' compensation attorneys work hard as strong legal advocates on your behalf to help you get the maximum amount you are entitled to.

Your Rights: Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Navigating the aftermath of a leg, knee, or ankle injury can be overwhelming, especially when you're faced with mounting medical bills and lost wages. At Webster & Carlton, we believe that every victim deserves to understand their rights and options for recovery. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through the personal injury claims process, ensuring you are fully informed every step of the way.

Here are some key aspects of personal injury claims that every injury victim should consider:
