Types of Workplace Injuries
Some job injuries only require short-term medical treatment to heal. Others can lead to permanent disabilities. Your employer and their workers' compensation insurance company should pay for your medical bills and lost wages resulting from any work-related injury. However, Iowa workers who suffer permanent disabilities often need help from an experienced attorney to obtain all of the compensation they need and deserve.
So-called "body as a whole injuries" are the most likely to lead to work restrictions or disabilities. These are often injuries to the:
- Head
- Neck
- Back
- Shoulders
- Hips
The insurance company rarely offers hurt workers fair compensation for these kinds of injuries. We know the right questions to ask doctors, and we know how to negotiate with the insurance companies on behalf of our clients.
