Workplace injuries can be physically painful, mentally exhausting, and financially devastating. Missing work due to an injury can leave you stressed about bills, rent, or mortgages. Many injured workers think they must shoulder these burdens alone, but that is not true.
At Emert Law Firm, Brad Emert has over 30 years of experience helping workers in St. Louis protect their paychecks, benefits, and legal rights. He understands that every paycheck matters and ensures that insurance companies or employers do not take advantage of injured workers.
Why Work Injuries Can Threaten Your Income
Even seemingly minor accidents can lead to major financial consequences. Injured workers often face:
- Lost wages from time off work
- Medical bills for emergency visits, prescriptions, and therapy
- Reduced earning potential if the injury has long-term effects
- Delays or denials of workers’ compensation claims
- Pressure to return to work before full recovery
Insurance companies and employers sometimes aim to reduce payouts. Without legal support, injured workers may accept less than they deserve, leaving them with unpaid bills and ongoing financial stress.

Common Challenges for Injured Workers
Workplace injuries come with more than medical pain. Financial and legal challenges are common, including:
- Delayed Workers’ Compensation Payments
Some insurers may request extensive documentation or intentionally slow the claim process. - Pressure to Return Early
Employers sometimes encourage workers to come back before fully healed, risking further injury. - Low Settlement Offers
Accepting a first offer without legal guidance may leave medical bills or lost wages unpaid. - Ongoing Expenses
Rehabilitation, therapy, prescriptions, and follow-up appointments can add up quickly, creating financial stress.
Brad Emert ensures all these challenges are addressed proactively. Clients can focus on healing while the firm fights to protect both income and rights.
