Fairfield Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Helping Injured Workers Throughout Jefferson County
Here in Southeastern Iowa, there’s a little town that’s doing big things, and the world would be wise to pay attention. As a matter of fact, a lot of people already are. As of the last census count, Fairfield, Iowa was home to less than 10,000 people. It’s a pleasant little town in the middle of rolling hills, cow farms, cornfields, pig farms, and soy crops. That might not sound like the kind of place that wins business awards and lands an hour on television with Oprah, but Fairfield isn’t your average small town. As a Southeastern Iowa accident injury law firm, Pothitakis Law Firm has been able to work with a number of clients over the last twenty years. Our offices in Burlington and Keokuk are a short drive away, and we’re available for consultations online and by phone as well.
We know that finding a great Workers’ Compensation attorney isn’t easy, especially for difficult cases. The nearest law firm isn’t always the best, and you want to choose an attorney with experience, the right attitude, and a record of results.
When you need a Workers’ Compensation attorney near Fairfield, Iowa, we hope you’ll choose us. Give us a call, get answers to your questions, and talk about your next steps without risk, cost, or obligation. Contact us today.
Fairfield, Iowa: An Economic Superstar
In 1990, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad sang Fairfield’s praises, calling it “one of the state’s economic superstars.” That name stuck, and the city has more than earned it in the years since. The New York Times later noted that Fairfield is thriving, “largely on its abundance of start-up companies.” Indeed, it’s gained quite a reputation as America’s go-to town for entrepreneurs.
Here are some of the other accolades:

$450,000 Partial Commutation
In 2013, our client was a truck driver who was fatally injured in a tragic auto accident. He was married at the time and as a result his wife was entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits. Those benefits would end upon her death or shortly after she were to remarry. The surviving spouse was finding it difficult to live on the weekly Workers’ Compensation benefits and for other reasons wanted to have the money paid in a lump sum.
