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.
