How does product liability factor into an Iowa Workers' Compensation case?

A: If your Iowa Workers Compensation case involves faulty workplace equipment, you may need to file a separate product liability claim in order to receive compensation for your injury. An attorney at a Des Moines work injury law firm can review your case thoroughly to help you understand all of your legal options at this time.

Iowa Workers' Compensation cases eliminate the need to bring litigation against your employer unless your supervisor demonstrated gross negligence. However, you may file a suit against the manufacturer who produced the machinery or equipment that caused your injury.

Liability in Iowa Workers' Compensation Case

Product liability cases may be related to:

faulty safety gear;
poorly constructed platforms and scaffolding;
malfunctioning forklifts, cranes and other heavy equipment;
improperly manufactured power tools, saws and machinery; and
explosions.

When products used in the workplace are dangerous, they can cause serious injuries requiring extensive medical treatment. Faulty equipment can cause broken bones, crushed bones, burns, head trauma, nerve damage, spinal cord injuries and amputation.

Your injuries may even make working difficult, causing you to lose the income you need to survive. By working with a lawyer from a work injury law firm, you can learn how to file a claim to recover damages for injuries sustained as the result of a workplace accident.

Determining the amount of compensation you need for your medical expenses and lost wages can be difficult. A Des Moines work injury law firm can work with an expert to calculate your losses. This can help during your Iowa Workers' Compensation case.
