The Law Firm of Webster & Carlton - Joplin, MO

At The Law Firm of Webster & Carlton, we make it our priority to ensure you receive the respect, medical care and compensation your injury warrants. Located in Joplin, Missouri, we work tenaciously to secure medical treatment, wage replacement, rehabilitation and other benefits for injured workers and their families. We handle cases involving amputations, back and neck injuries, fractures, burns and scarring, chemical exposure, industrial and construction accidents, occupational diseases, repetitive motion injuries and fatal workplace injuries. We also address denials, appeals, fraud allegations and disputes over temporary and permanent disability benefits.

We limit our practice to Missouri workers’ compensation matters so we can concentrate our efforts on the issues that matter most to injured employees. With nearly 50 years of combined legal experience in Missouri workers’ compensation, our attorneys, paralegals and support staff understand how confusing and stressful the process can be.

Many claims are initially denied after a rigorous review. Denials often hinge on causation, late reporting or medical report discrepancies. Workers sometimes make mistakes such as delaying medical care, failing to report injuries promptly, or not documenting symptoms and limitations. We help clients avoid these common pitfalls and guide them through filings, hearings, mediations and trials when necessary.

Our client-first approach emphasizes clear communication, transparency and personalized service. We prepare every case meticulously so clients can be confident their claim will be presented thoroughly and persuasively. We operate on a contingency fee basis – we do not get paid unless you recover benefits – so a denied or delayed claim does not have to be the final word.

We have helped thousands of injured Missouri workers obtain compensation for surgery, ongoing medical care, rehabilitation therapies, temporary and permanent disability, second-injury fund claims, and wage replacement. To help you understand your options, we offer free initial consultations and virtual appointments for your convenience.
