A serious workplace accident doesn’t just cost you a few days of work. It can mean surgery, rehab, ongoing treatment, and a long stretch away from the job. For some people, going back to the same kind of work isn’t possible at all.
At Eason Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we represent injured workers and families across St. Louis dealing with the physical, financial, and emotional weight of a serious workplace injury. We focus on substantial cases with long-term consequences, and we prepare them the right way from the start.
Depending on how the injury happened, there may be
more to it.
When a third-party contractor, an equipment manufacturer,
a property owner, a delivery company, a maintenance
provider, or an outside vendor played a role, you may
have a separate claim, and that can change the
compensation available to you significantly.
A lot of people assume workers’ compensation is the
only path after a workplace accident.
Workplace injuries happen across every kind of job site. More often than not, a preventable failure is behind them.
We handle serious injuries across a range of work environments. Each setting carries its own hazards and questions about who is responsible.
Elevated work areas, heavy equipment, and complex machinery.
Moving equipment, loading operations, and forklift incidents.
Road accidents, loading injuries, and carrier negligence.
Complex machinery, chemical exposure, and repetitive processes.
Manufacturer liability for unsafe or malfunctioning tools.
Workers’ comp benefits can help after a workplace injury, but some accidents raise legal issues that go beyond those benefits. When a defective-equipment manufacturer, a property owner, an outside contractor, a third-party driver, or a maintenance company contributed to the injury, a separate claim against that party may be available — and it may cover losses comp does not.
Workers comp can help — but it doesn’t always cover everything. When a third party played a role, a separate claim may be available.

Common questions that families dealing with workplace injuries ask us.
Hiring a workers’ compensation attorney costs nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you don’t pay legal fees until we secure compensation in your case.
Possibly, depending on the circumstances. If a party other than your employer contributed to the accident, you may have options beyond workers’ compensation. The facts decide it, so call early.
Often, yes. Missouri follows comparative fault, so sharing some responsibility doesn’t automatically end your claim, though it can reduce your recovery by your percentage of fault.
Missouri sets deadlines on injury claims, and acting early also helps preserve evidence and workplace records before they’re gone. Call us and we’ll confirm the timeline that applies to you.
An equipment manufacturer or a maintenance provider may share responsibility if a defect contributed to the accident. These cases turn on the details, so preserve what you can and get advice quickly.
