Filing an Iowa Workers’ Compensation Claim for a Back Injury

A work-related accident can cause serious injuries, most commonly back injuries. If you suffer from a back injury on the job, you may need treatment, therapy, or even surgery. The issues that arise from serious injuries you obtain at work could leave you out of work temporarily or permanently, causing a decrease in your income. If this is the case, you may need Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits.

Workplace Activity that May Lead to a Back Injury

A back injury could be caused by: 

  • Repetitive movement - this includes twisting, turning or bending.
  • High anxiety - stress is a key factor in many instances of low back pain.
  • Physical inactivity - sitting or standing still for long periods can lead to serious back injuries. Experts advise that you change positions every 20 minutes to avoid back pain.
  • Heavy lifting - improper lifting or lifting heavy objects can put a strain on your back. 

If you had to take time off of work because of a back injury and have lost income, you may be able to file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim. Call a Waterloo, Iowa Workers' Compensation lawyer to provide you with the right steps to take to receive your Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits and fight for your rights in an Iowa Workers' compensation claim.
