Injured Workers: You May Qualify For Medical Care, Disability Benefits, And Financial Support

Do you know your rights under Iowa workers' compensation law?

Work injuries can take many forms, from a repetitive stress injury in a traditional office, to a serious fall injury at a manufacturing plant, to a work-related illness or health condition. But all of these on-the-job injuries have a few things in common: they prevent workers from continuing to do their job, they cause workers physical harm and emotional trauma, and they often lead to serious financial issues as workers struggle to support themselves and their families.

Fortunately, Iowa workers' compensation laws are in place to make certain that injured workers receive medical care, benefits, and fair treatment from their employers after a work-related accident. The majority of employers in Iowa are required to carry workers' compensation insurance and are obligated to follow state mandates regarding worker accidents and injuries.

However, in some cases your workers' compensation claim could not go smoothly:

Your employer and the workers'compensation insurance carrier have denied your valid workers' compensation claim.
Your employer and the workers'compensation insurance carrier have delayed your workers'comp benefits for an unreasonable amount of time.
You believe your workers' comp settlement is unreasonably small or unfair.
Your employer has discouraged your from filing a workers' comp claim or threatened you regarding a workers' comp claim.
Your employer has retaliated against you after you filed a workers' comp claim.
Your employer has not provided you with appropriate medical care following an on-the-job accident.
