Exceeded My Expectations
I'd like to start by saying this firm exceeded my expectations. From day one, my attorney Mike was transparent about the entire process and kept a great attitude throughout the entire process. I had never had an injury on the job, so I assumed my employer would have my best interest in mind. However, I quickly learned the harsh reality of being a worker injured on the job. I learned my employer’s insurance company controlled everything; they made everything as difficult as possible, giving me the minimum care. X-rays and MRIs had to be approved and sometimes took days. The insurance companies send you to doctors that work for them, so treatment gets delayed and injuries get downplayed. I was told by my employer that if my injuries had permanent work restrictions, I would need to find another job. I knew I needed a lawyer, so I called the firm, and they became the aggressive advocate I needed. They knew every angle and all the games the insurance company tried. Mike fought hard for a resolution with my best interest in mind, and I am truly grateful. We got the best outcome with my treatment and a great settlement. Without this firm, I'm more than certain my employer and their insurance company would have never been held accountable. If you have been injured on the job, trust me, you want this firm on your side.

I truly recommend this law firm.
I came to Haight Stang, LLC through recommendation for consultation on a workman's comp inquiry. I met with Michael Stang. I gave details of what caused my injury after that... Haight Stang took my case and took care of me. I felt I didn't have to worry. Michael informed me of what to expect next. Michael kept me informed of communications he had with workman's comp representative. I'm pleased with the way he worked with me. Also pleased with the overall outcome. I truly recommend this law firm. I say thanks to Michael and his team, you're awesome. Once again, thanks.
Respectfully,

Instead, he helped me make the best decision based on his profession. He walked me through the process over the next couple of days. This was a worker's comp settlement. With the help of Michael Haight, I received the best possible outcome that I could have hoped for. He never asked for a penny. This is a man that you can trust. He puts the human back in humanity.

A young woman working at a meat processing plant in Missouri developed overuse injuries in both her hands and arms. Despite reporting symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling, her workers' compensation claim was denied, and she was not permitted to return to work.
After hiring our firm, we successfully secured the medical treatment she needed, including injections, therapy, and other care to reduce her symptoms.

A woman contacted our firm after her workers’ compensation claim for carpal tunnel syndrome was denied. Although she had been treated for the same condition more than 20 years earlier, she developed it again due to repetitive and strenuous work in her current job.
The insurance company denied the claim based on her pre-existing condition, but we knew that didn’t disqualify her from benefits. We took the case to trial, and just before the judge was set to rule, the insurer agreed to settle, providing fair compensation and covering her out-of-pocket medical expenses.
