Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

Why do I need a Workers’ Compensation attorney for my claim? (Part B)

It is possible that you can "settle" your work injury claim without the need for an attorney, but keep in mind that the insurance adjuster will likely underestimate the value of your claim and an experienced lawyer who practices primarily in workers' compensation law may be able to help.

If these negotiations fail or your claim is denied, a contested-case proceeding may take place before the Workers' Compensation commissioner. If you decide that you want to file a petition and have a contested-case proceeding, it is advisable to seek the counsel of a Des Moines Workers' Compensation lawyer.

To prove your right to compensation in a Workers' Compensation claim in Iowa, a lawyer can interview witnesses, submit the testimony of experts, and provide any evidence that has been gathered in your case. Evidence may include photographs of the worksite, your medical reports, and any documentation that shows that value of your damages.
