Ronald Joseph Coticchio

I am a Springfield, Missouri Injury attorney with 33 years of experience helping injured workers and auto accident victims since 1990's. I am the owner of RJC LAW, focused on Missouri work comp, Second Injury Fund claims, and workplace injury cases in Greene County, Christian County, and Southwest Missouri.

I represent workers hurt at CoxHealth, Mercy Hospital, Amazon, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Bass Pro Shops, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and construction sites across Springfield. I handle all benefits: emergency medical care, ongoing treatment, Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits at 2/3 of your average weekly wage, Permanent Partial Disability (PPD), and Permanent Total Disability (PTD).

Second Injury Fund Experience

Another focus of my practice is Missouri's Second Injury Fund. If you had a pre-existing disability — old back injury, knee surgery, arthritis, hearing loss, military disability, or prior workers comp case — and suffered a new work injury, you may qualify for additional compensation from the State, not your employer. Insurance companies rarely tell injured workers about this fund. I file Second Injury Fund claims regularly at the Springfield Division of Workers Compensation, 1736 E Sunshine.

What I do for injured workers:

File your claim on time 2 years to file in Missouri.

You must report your claim within 30 days to your employer.

Fight denials: "not work-related", "pre-existing", "no objective findings"

Get second opinions when the company doctor releases you too early

Document permanent disability ratings and get IME evaluations

Maximize PPD/PTD settlements and pursue Second Injury Fund benefits

Handle retaliation cases if you were fired after filing work comp

I offer a free consultation for Springfield work injuries. No fee unless we recover benefits for you. Call RJC LAW at 417-413-5773. I have handled cases before the Missouri Division of Workers Compensation for over 30 years
