Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

Can I trust the doctor that my employer's insurer is asking me to see after I was injured in an Iowa construction accident?

 

A: No, you cannot trust the doctor that your employer's insurer asked you to see after you were injured in an Iowa construction accident. You will be required to see this doctor which is why you may need the help of an Ames construction accident lawyer.

An employer's insurer may use a doctor who will try to minimize your injuries or refute your injury claim for your Iowa construction accident, by saying it was caused by a pre-existing condition.
The doctor is not necessarily working in your best interests but may in fact, be trying to help your employer.

If you believe the medical care you are receiving after your Iowa construction accident is inadequate or if the doctor is unqualified then you can express your desire to see a doctor of your choosing to your employer.
However, your employer does not have to abide by your wishes.

You can take this further by filing a petition with the Iowa Worker's Compensation Commissioner
but you will need to prove that the medical care you are receiving for your Iowa construction accident is not adequate. This is when you can use an Ames construction accident lawyer.

There are other rules by which you must abide, for instance, there might be a certain amount of time that must pass before you can get a second opinion. An Ames construction accident lawyer can explain how all of this works as well as your legal rights.

Injuries from an Iowa construction accident can be devastating. You may even be entitled to compensation that goes beyond Workers' Compensation benefits. You should seek help from an Ames construction accident lawyer, who will look at all angles of your case to determine the options that you have available.
