Will I be paid by my Iowa Workers' Compensation for the time I'm losing from work?

 

A: According to Iowa law, Workers' Compensation benefits include payment for time missed from work under certain conditions. If you need to file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim you should speak with a West Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney.

When you have suffered serious injuries in the workplace, the last thing you need to worry about is your financial situation. A West Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney will go over your case and explain all benefits to which you may be entitled.

Overview of Iowa Workers' Compensation Benefits

A few instances in which Iowa Workers' Compensation benefits will cover time missed from work include

  • Healing period benefits - As you recuperate from an injury that caused a permanent impairment, you may be entitled to healing period benefits until either you return to work, significant improvement from your injury is not expected, or you are medically capable of returning to work in a capacity similar to the position you held before your injury.
  • Permanent total disability benefits - if your injury prevents you from returning to gainful employment, you may be eligible for these benefits, which will be paid as long as you are permanently totally disabled.
  • Temporary total disability - if your injury leaves you disabled for more than 3 days, you may be eligible for these benefits until you return to work or until you are capable of returning to work. 


It might be in your best interest to discuss your options with a West Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney who can help you determine the potential breadth of your Iowa Worker's Compensation claim.
