Does Coronavirus Qualify for Workers' Compensation?

You've contracted COVID-19 as a result of an employer or coworker's negligence, but aren't sure if coronavirus is covered by workers' compensation. Missouri COVID-19 work injury claims qualify for benefits if an injured employee can provide evidence of their injury and prove that they contracted the virus while on the clock.

If an employee has a valid COVID-19 work injury claim, they could recover the following types of damages:

• Medical expenses - reimbursement for coronavirus testing, doctors appointments, and other treatment related to the virus
• Pain and suffering - reimbursement for therapy, psychiatry services, and other out-of-pocket expenses for treatment of emotional/mental distress associated with COVID-19
• Lost wages - reimbursement of lost wages or other types of income losses caused by the virus
