Workers' Compensation

When you are injured on the job, you may have a claim for workers' compensation benefits. Iowa law specifies the process of regulations to obtain these benefits. These laws are designed to insure that employers provide adequate benefits to their employees who are injured as a result of their employment. Workers’ compensation may apply in any of the following situations:

The regulations and paperwork of filing for workers’ compensation can be overwhelming. We at Nierman Law, P.L.C. understand the added stress of a workers’ compensation claim and help to remove that stress by guiding you through this process. Our legal team can insure that you preserve your rights by acting in a timely manner to meet your deadlines

Insurance companies often try to protect their profits and those of their clients by trying to prevent you from receiving the benefits to which you are entitled. Insurance companies have complicated systems to screen claims and deny or delay payment of benefits. In some cases, your insurance company may be forced to pay you punitive damages and/or penalty benefits because of bad faith claim handling.

Benefits

With reduced or no income and increased medical bills, a work related injury creates a significant financial burden. Workers’ compensation benefits may include payment for reasonable and necessary medical expenses resulting from the work-related injury. If your injury prevents you from working temporarily or causes permanent disability, you may also be entitled to compensation. We want you to be aware of your rights throughout your healing process. Nierman Law, P.L.C. has assisted others in obtaining the benefits they are entitled to.
