Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

I injured my back in an auto accident that occurred on company time. Is that eligible for coverage under an Iowa Worker's Comp claim?

 

A: If you injured your back in an auto accident on your work time, you most likely will be entitled to file an Iowa Worker's Comp claim to cover your injury expenses. (Note: Iowa Worker's Comp is another name for Iowa Workers' Compensation, the full name of the state program.)

Go over your your case with a Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney to see if you are eligible to file an Iowa Worker's Comp claim and to help you through the process of receiving your Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits.

You should be aware that an Iowa Worker's Comp claim does come with limitations that will determine whether or not you have a right to file an Iowa Worker's Comp claim. To determine if you are able to receive coverage through an Iowa Worker's Comp claim you may be reviewed on how long you have been with the company, the details of your auto accident, the severity of your injuries, and other variables.

You also have a time limit to file a Worker's Comp claim.
There are different time limitations for each step in the process of pursuing an Iowa Worker's Comp claim, such as reporting your injuries to your employer, filing for a Worker's Comp claim, and receiving Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits.

Your Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney will be able to go over the limitations regarding a Worker's Comp claim and any benefits you will be able to receive. A Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney can also help you through the process of filing a Worker's Comp claim and help you to resolve any problems that occur along the way.
