Wage loss due to a job related injury puts extreme emotional and financial pressure on you and your family. Bills can back up. It may be hard to find money for housing, food and utilities and other everyday expenses such as school expenses, clothing, and gas for transportation. In some cases, medical expenses due to your injury can add to an already critical cash flow shortage.

Missouri's Department of Labor and Industrial Relations has indicated that, in many cases, individuals can make up for lost wages by applying for TTD or temporary total disability benefits in the event that an individual has a work-related injury.  The person is eligible if they have been absent from work more than three regularly scheduled workdays of their employer.  If a person is absent more than two weeks, he or she is compensated for the first three days, otherwise known as the waiting period.

But what happens when your wage loss benefits are cut off or never even started, and your employer or their insurance company is contesting your claim? It’s difficult enough to recover from the injury, but when you have to face an organization with huge financial resources in order to get help, it’s easy to be overpowered.
