Workers’ Comp in Kansas City: What You Need to Know After an Injury

If you’ve been injured on the job, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate the process by yourself. At Simon and Katz Law Firm, Attorney Paul Katz helps workers in Kansas City, Missouri pursue the compensation they need for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery.


Work injuries can disrupt every part of your life, but the legal process doesn’t have to. Our team is here to guide you step-by-step, making sure your claim is handled thoroughly and fairly.


Do You Have a Workers’ Compensation Case?

If you were hurt while performing job-related duties, you may be entitled to compensation—even if the injury developed over time or wasn’t the result of a single accident. Common cases include:


  • Falls and workplace accidents
  • Repetitive motion or overuse injuries
  • Exposure to hazardous materials
  • Back, joint, or nerve injuries
  • Work-related vehicle accidents


Whether your injury is new or ongoing, we’ll help evaluate your eligibility and outline your legal options.


What Compensation Can You Receive?

Workers’ compensation in Missouri may cover:


  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Wage replacement if you are unable to work
  • Permanent disability benefits if your condition causes lasting limitations
  • Lump sum settlements that provide financial relief beyond monthly benefits


Paul Katz will help ensure that your benefits are calculated fairly and that no detail is overlooked in determining what you’re owed.


Insurance Companies Work Fast—So Should You

Insurance companies often aim to minimize what they pay out, even in valid claims. They may delay, deny, or undervalue your injury to protect their bottom line.


Attorney Paul Katz understands how these companies operate and will hold them accountable. He manages all communication with insurers on your behalf and fights for a resolution that reflects the real impact of your injury.


No Fees Unless You’re Compensated

Simon and Katz Law Firm offers free consultations and handles workers’ compensation cases on a contingency basis. That means:


  • No payment upfront
  • No legal fees unless you win
  • No risk in seeking help now


Whether you’re just getting started or your benefits have already been denied, we’re here to take your case seriously—and act fast.
