What is the Iowa Injured Workers' Bill of Rights?

 

A: The Iowa Injured Workers' Bill of Rights is a law that requires employers to obtain Workers' Compensation for their employees. These rights help to protect workers if they are injured while on the job. An Ames Workers' Compensation lawyer has the most up-to-date information on how this can affect you as an employee in Iowa.

Since each Iowa Workers' Compensation claim is different, consulting with a lawyer is the best way to determine your specific rights.

In general, the following benefits are part of the Injured Workers' Bill of Rights:
 

  • right to seek medical care from any doctor of your choosing;
  • payment for all medical care related to the work injury;
  • payment for mileage in going to and from medical appointments; and
  • right to refuse medical care or procedures.  


Although these are some of the general rights, the specifics of each case could significantly impact the outcome of your Iowa Workers' Compensation claim. For instance, although it is your right to refuse a treatment or procedure, this decision could negatively impact your case.

Also, your own health coverage may impact the way your Iowa Workers' Compensation claim is processed. With all of the different factors that can play into your claim, it can become very complicated.

This is why its best to seek the help of an Ames Workers' Compensation lawyer who can better explain the Iowa Injured Workers' Bill of Rights and how each one can influence the outcome of your claim. Consulting with a lawyer is the best way to find out how you can protect your claim and your rights.
