Fairfield Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Fairfield Workers’ Compensation Attorney

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 P.C. 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.

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:

  • “Silicorn Valley” — Used by both Forbes and The New York Times, this play-on-words nickname reflects Fairfield’s unlikely status as a hub for IT commerce and innovation.
  • The Grassroots Rural Entrepreneurship Award
  • “One of the nation’s most entrepreneurial small towns” — National Center for Small Communities
  • “America’s Most Unusual Town” — Oprah Winfrey, who dedicated an entire episode of her “Oprah Prime” series to Fairfield in 2012
  • One of “The 20 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2013” — Smithsonian magazine
  • One of the “12 Greatest Places You’ve Never Heard Of” — Mother Earth News
  • Iowa Great Places — One of six cities selected for the honor by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs in 2010

Our Case Results

  • $1 Million Workers Slip and Fall

    After hearing, the Deputy Workers’ Compensation Commissioner entered an award fully in favor of the Claimant finding him permanently and totally disabled. The Decision resulted in an award with the present value of in excess of $1 million. In addition, the Defendants were ordered to pay the Claimant’s medical expenses for the remainder of his life.

  • $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.

  • Workers’ Comp Appeal Results in Settlement

    Pothitakis Law Firm pursued this claim for in excess of three and a half years. Mr. Pothitakis conferenced with the claimant’s doctors and obtained reports over those years to put the claimant in the best position to obtain a favorable result at hearing. When the initial decision was inappropriate, Pothitakis Law Firm filed an appeal and was successful on that appeal.
