When a Lifting Injury Results in an Iowa Workers’ Compensation Claim

When a worker sustains a lifting injury at work he or she may choose to file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim. A lifting injury can result in severe pain, an inability to work and the need for medical treatment.

If you have concerns regarding your ability to receive Workers' Compensation benefits or if your claim has been denied, it is in your best interest to speak with a Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney.

Not all Iowa Workers' Compensation claims are based on injuries as a result of an accident. Sometimes the daily duties that are performed can lead to a lifting injury. If your job entails lifting, pulling or pushing objects you could end up suffering an injury.

The most common type of lifting injury is a back injury. This type of injury can be mild and require only a short-term leave from work or it may result in missing a lot of time from work. Treatment may include medication for pain and inflammation, physical therapy or if the back injury is severe, surgery. 

Treatment for a back injury can be expensive. Between medical bills and not receiving a salary, you may need the protection offered through Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits.

Consulting with a Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney will help you to understand what your rights are and how best to protect yourself in the event you need to file an Iowa Worker's Compensation claim due to a lifting injury.
