Protecting the People Who Care for Us: Healthcare Worker Injury Lawyers

Common Healthcare Worker Injuries

Healthcare and hospital workers in Kansas City and Parkville often file injury claims for:

  • Back and neck injuries from patient handling or lifting
  • Sprains and strains from repetitive motion
  • Slips, trips, and falls in hospital or clinic settings
  • Needlestick or sharps injuries
  • Exposure to infectious diseases or hazardous chemicals
  • Assault or violence from patients or visitors

Whether your injury happened suddenly or developed over time, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for medical care, lost wages, and ongoing disability.

How to File a Healthcare Worker Injury Claim in Missouri

  • Report your injury to your supervisor or employer as soon as possible. Delays can put your claim at risk.
  • Seek prompt medical care—either through your employer’s designated provider or your own doctor.
  • Document everything: Save accident reports, medical records, and any correspondence with your employer or insurance company.
  • Consult with a healthcare worker injury lawyer to understand your rights, avoid common pitfalls, and get the most from your claim.

Spooner & Perkins Attorneys at Law can help you through every step of the process—from filing the initial claim to appealing a denial or negotiating a fair settlement.

Why Are Healthcare Worker Claims Denied or Underpaid?

Employers and insurers sometimes:

  • Argue your injury is “just part of the job”
  • Claim you were at fault or not following protocol
  • Downplay the severity of repetitive or chronic injuries
  • Push you to return to work before you’re ready

Our team knows the tactics used by insurance companies and will fight to protect your benefits and your career.
