We know the system. We know your rights.

Attorney Mr. DeVoto has practiced in injury law for over 30 years, including hundreds of workers’ compensation cases resolved in his clients’ favor. We handle every type of work-related claim:

• Falls, back injuries, broken bones and other accidents
• Injuries from machinery or heavy equipment
• Occupational illness (repetitive stress injury, chemical exposure)
• Permanent partial disability (e.g., severed fingers, nerve damage)
• Permanent total disability (injuries preventing you from returning to the same job)
• Disfigurement settlements
• Death benefits

Mr. DeVoto is thoroughly familiar with the Missouri workers’ compensation system. He handles the tough cases when clients are told their injury is not serious or not work-related, or ordered back to work before they are healed. If your workers’ comp claim is rejected as non-compensable or your employer terminates coverage, your own health insurance may refuse to cover your bills — leaving you on the hook for thousands of dollars in medical expenses.

We can help you fight back. We hire physicians and medical experts to get your injury properly rated for trial or settlement negotiations.

Do You Have a Third Party Claim, Too?

There are many circumstances under which you may be entitled to bring a persona

l injury lawsuit against another person or entity — above and beyond your workers’ compensation benefits:

• A car driver hits you while you are on duty (auto liability)
• Defective workplace machinery causes injury (product liability)
• A safety hazard causes a slip and fall during a delivery (premises liability)
• The negligence of an other subcontractor on a construction site causes your injury

The DeVoto Law Firm explores every possible source of compensation, and fights tooth and nail to hold employers accountable for state-mandated coverage.
