Representing Personal Injury Victims in Southern Missouri

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to another party’s negligence, you deserve compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses. Pursuing a personal injury claim when you are recovering is challenging, so it is essential to have informed legal representation. We have extensive experience handling all types of injury claims, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Premises liability
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Sexual assault
  • Dog bites

Trust us to guide you through all aspects of the legal process and protect your rights. You should know that most personal injury claims settle, outside of court, through negotiations with the defendant’s insurance company. Although insurers often attempt to deny valid claims or pay as little as possible, we have the skills and determination to level the playing field.

You can depend on our attorneys to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. If the insurance company fails to make a fair and just settlement offer, we will take your case to trial to achieve the best possible outcome. We do not prepare for quick settlements, we prepare to obtain just compensation for our clients, whether that is through settlement or a jury trial.

Southern Missouri Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Being injured on the job can impact every aspect of your life, causing undue stress for you and your loved ones. Worker’s compensation will cover your medical expenses, replace some of your wages if you miss work, and provide additional benefits for any permanent impairment or disfigurement.

Notably, you have a right to compensation regardless of who is at fault for your injuries. However, obtaining these vital benefits can be challenging, especially when insurance carriers and employers contest claims.

The best way to protect your right is to have our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys at your side. Let our legal team assist with all the details, from submitting the initial claim to representing you at the worker’s compensation hearing to filing an appeal. Above all, we will provide you with compassionate, effective representation and help you obtain the benefits you need and deserve.

Protecting Missouri Workers From Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation

All employees in Southern Missouri and across the state have a right to a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Under federal law and the Missouri Human Rights Act, it is illegal for employers to discriminate in any aspect of employment because of an individual’s race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, gender/sex, disability, age (40 through 69), sexual orientation or gender identity, including:

  • Hiring, compensating, promoting, or firing
  • Classifying employees (e.g., exempt, non-exempt, independent contractor)
  • Recruiting and testing
  • Using company facilities
  • Training and apprenticeship programs
  • Accommodating injuries or disabilities
  • Offering fringe benefits (health insurance, retirement plans, vacation time)

Additionally, sexual harassment is considered an unlawful form of sex-based discrimination. Despite the legal protections under federal and state law, distressed employees are often reluctant to take legal action out of fear of retaliation. Whether you have been mistreated by your employer or subjected to harassment in your workplace, turn to Privette Law Office.

When you meet with us, you will work directly with an experienced employment law attorney who will listen closely to your story, explain your rights, and choose the best course of action. We have an impressive track record of success in arbitration and court proceedings and will fight to protect your employment rights and reputation.
