About Edelman & Thompson

Under Missouri law, the employer and its insurance carrier are obligated to pay for the employee’s medical treatment for an injury which occurs on the job. However, the employee is required to treat with the physicians selected and authorized by the employer and its insurer. Any bills which the employee incurs on their own will be their responsibility to pay. Sometimes injured workers believe that they can pursue treatment through their health insurance. Unfortunately, virtually every health insurance policy excludes work injuries from their coverage. As a result, an employee who believes that their health insurance company will pay bills related to a work injury will instead have to pay the bills themselves out of their own pocket.

    Ryan Weltz was absolutely fantastic to work with as the attorney handling my Workers Comp claim. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly fought for the best possible outcome. The insurance company’s original settlement offer was extremely low, but Ryan was able to get us around six or seven times more than what they first offered. He made the process much easier to unde

    Ryan Weltz did a great job handling my workers’ comp case. He kept me updated throughout the process, gave solid advice, and was always very quick to respond whenever I had questions. He made the whole process a lot less stressful and ultimately got me a settlement that was about 3 times higher than the insurance company’s original offer. I definitely appreciate all the help and would recommend hi

    After representing myself in a previous injury and how I was being treated by my employer, and doctors I knew I needed legal representation. So I called several law firms in Kansas City. and was very disappointed . I knew from my first phone call and talking with Kieth that Edelman Thompson was the correct law firm to handle my case .
