Workers' Compensation has Changed in Iowa
Workers' compensation laws have changed in Iowa.
Part 5 of our Workers' Compensation short-video series.
Darin explains how he works to move claims forward faster.
"A lot of clients that call in are at a stage where their bills aren't being paid. They're not getting weekly benefits from the insurance company. They're getting calls from the electric company. They're getting threatened by their landlord because they haven't paid rent.
I try to picture myself in their position and that allows me to be forceful with the insurance company. To make that particular claim on their desk a priority - because I let them know that this client's suffering. I let them know that this is causing real pain to real people. And sometimes that helps the adjuster realize that this needs some priority and accelerates the speed at which they accept a claim.
There are new workers' compensation laws in Iowa.
In Part 4 of our new video series, Darin tells us what to do if you are injured at work.
"Getting a claim accepted... It can take weeks, it can take months. Based on what opinions you need in order to connect the cause of your injury to your work activities. It depends on how complex the injury is, what body part is involved... and it can take quite awhile to get them to accept a claim. And some insurance companies simply never will accept a claim until a deputy decision-maker in the Workers' Compensation Commission enters an order after a hearing... Saying that they were wrong the whole time. It was compensible and they need to catch up all your benefits and repay the health insurance company or Medicaid who might have had to step to pay those bills while they were being wrongfully denied."
In Part 2 of our new video series, Darin tells us what to do if you are injured at work.
"Go directly to your immediate supervisor and let them know that you are injured so that you comply with the reporting requirements and you don't get into a situation where over 90 days have passed since the time of the injury. That could exclude entirely the requirement that they provide any compensation or medical benfits for your injury.
Next is to get to the doctor. Insist that they send you to their doctor, which is a requirement that they get to choose who provides the medical care.
If there is any issue with them paying benefits for you being off of work or any issue with getting proper medical care to make you better, that's when you need to call a lawyer to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to do.
