Second Injury Fund
Statute of Limitations
The Second Injury Fund is often misunderstood as being a formal name for a Missouri Workers' Compensation claim. It is completely separate from a Workers' Compensation claim. If you have had a previous injury or disability, you may be eligible for money from the Second Injury Fund in addition to your workers' compensation claim against your employer's insurance company.
The preexisting disability does not have to be from an injury to qualify. It can be a heart condition, diabetes, c.o.p.d., arthritis, emphysema or other disease or impairment. Of course, preexisting carpel tunnel syndrome, back injuries and knee injuries usually also qualify. The Second Injury Fund recoveries usually range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
It is essential that you be represented by an experienced workers' compensation attorney that knows and understands Second Injury Fund law and procedure. The injury lawyers at Suddarth & Koor, LLC can help you determine whether you have a valid Second Injury Fund claim and help you obtain a reasonable recovery, if you do qualify.
