I Highly Recommend Haight Stang, LLC
From the very first interaction, this firm showed a level of integrity, compassion, and professionalism that I have not experienced in five years of dealing with my workers’ compensation claim.
They were patient, calm, and truly took the time to listen to me, especially given the complexity of my brain injury. Everything was explained in a way that felt clear and manageable, which made an overwhelming process feel far less intimidating.
What stood out most was their willingness to step in and start helping immediately, even before a contract was in place. They were ready to get their hands dirty to determine whether there was truly a fight to be had and began gathering and reviewing my medical evidence right away to see how they could help and pursue accountability.
After being injured in the line of duty and going five years without real advocacy or support, this level of proactive effort meant everything to me. It is clear this firm understands the tactics used against injured workers and knows how to counter them with honest information and aggressive representation.
I felt more relief in a short amount of time than I have in the past five years combined. Mike Haight was kind, thorough, and made me feel supported throughout the process.
If you are an injured worker who feels unheard, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn, I highly recommend Haight Stang, LLC. They genuinely care about people, not just cases, and it shows.

I Will Call Him Without a Doubt
Mike Stang called me back immediately and gave me his undivided attention, and he even gave me my consultation in person. I have never had a lawyer do that. It ended up that I had blown my statutes, so we couldn't do business together, but if I should ever be injured in the future I will call him without a doubt, and I will send business his way as I work in a warehouse and there are injured people everywhere. Thank you for your time, Mike! 😁 5 stars!

I'm pleased with how Mike handled my case. He worked hard to get me an appointment to seek a second opinion on my case, which was very important to me. He was prompt to update me at every level and made sure I understood what was going on and the expectations. I'm really glad that I chose him to handle my case and will recommend him at any given time.

It was the best decision I could've made.
After getting injured at work, I knew I needed to get an attorney. After doing my research, I chose Michael Haight. It was the best decision I could've made. Michael explained the entire process and what to expect. He stayed in constant contact with me throughout the entire process, and he always kept me well informed. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case, and I would recommend him to any of my family and friends if they ever needed a great WC attorney. 5 Stars!

Mr. Mike Stang is an amazing attorney. I appreciate the hard work and dedication he provided on my case. Everything he elaborated to me in our initial meeting was manifested in about 6 months. He’s an excellent communicator as well. He provided me with updates and was also available anytime I had additional questions.

I will also recommend you to anyone who needs an attorney in the future. The best!

This firm 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. 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, also all the games the insurance company tried. Mike fought hard for a resolution with my best interest in mind. 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.

$150K Workers’ Comp Settlement for Kansas Worker$150K Workers’ Compensation Settlement for Kansas Worker
A young man in Kansas suffered serious injuries in a workplace fall. After the accident, his employer tried to deny that he even worked for them and claimed they had no workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Our legal team proved both statements false, showing that the employer was responsible for his benefits. Just before a scheduled conference with the Judge, we secured a $150,000 settlement on his behalf. If your employer tries to deny your claim or refuses to provide benefits, don't back down - call us and let us fight for you.
Surgery Denied, Treatment Secured$42K+ Award for Repetitive Upper Extremity Injuries
A worker suffered repetitive stress injuries to both arms while on the job but was denied necessary medical treatment and received no settlement offer from the insurance carrier.
After taking on the case, our firm fought to secure the care she needed, first by obtaining corrective surgery and then by winning a trial award of $42,708.15 in compensation.
Claim Denied, Shoulder Injury Case Won at Trial$57K+ Recovery Secured for Injured Missouri Worker
A Missouri worker suffered a serious shoulder injury on the job, requiring surgery and making it impossible for him to return to work. Despite the severity of the injury, the employer denied the workers’ compensation claim and even attempted to avoid reporting the incident to their insurance carrier.
Our firm took the case to trial and won. The result: approval for shoulder surgery, full rehabilitation, and more than $57,000 in disability benefits paid to the client.
Workers’ Comp Win for Missouri Worker$62K+ Settlement Secured for Repetitive Use Injuries
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. To avoid a pending trial, the insurance carrier agreed to pay over $62,000 for permanent partial disability benefits, and 43,86 weeks of temporary total disability.
Slip and Fall at Home Gets Large SettlementDenied Claim Overturned: Full Benefits Secured for Injuries Sustained at Home
A client suffered significant injuries after slipping on ice and falling on the front steps of her own home. Her workers’ compensation claim was denied based on the assumption that an accident at her own house wouldn’t be covered. After an initial investigation, however, it was clear that she was leaving her home due to a special assignment she was required to perform outside of her regular work schedule. This was a unique situation, which even the mediating Judge was unsure of. Regardless, we pushed forward towards trial, ready to take the matter to appeal, if needed. Fortunately, the insurer agreed to pay a significant settlement, which reflected the full value of disability benefits our client was rightfully entitled to. Never assume that the insurance company is right or that they are being fair. You should consult with an experienced and capable workers’ compensation attorney to find out what really can happen in your situation.
Pre-Existing Claim ResolvedDenied Workers’ Comp Claim Settled Before Trial
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.
