Iowa Workers' Compensation Claim Related to Slip and Fall Accident Injuries (Part A)

An Iowa Workers' Compensation claim can address your medical expenses, lost wages and more when you have been injured on the job. Even if you were at fault, your employer must provide benefits when you have suffered a work-related injury. Seek help for your claim through an Ames work injury lawyer.

Slip and Fall Accident Injuries on the Job

In the course of your work, you may sustain an injury after a slip or fall. This could be the result of unsafe premises, such as debris on the floor or broken steps. Or you could trip and fall simply because you weren’t paying attention. In any event, if you were injured, you are entitled to file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim.

Accidents involving falls are more common in jobs like construction work, where you may be elevated. While these types of accidents can be serious, even suffering a broken bone can be devastating. Falls from great heights can lead to multiple fractures.

Common Injuries Sustained in a Slip and Fall Accident at Work

Broken bones are one of the most common injuries to sustain in a slip and fall accident. Trips often lead to fractures somewhere in the arm, as you tend to try and brace yourself when you fall. However, falls also can lead to broken legs or hips.

Symptoms of a broken bone include:

• bone protruding abnormally;
• severe pain;
• inability to move the broken body part;
• swelling; and
• bruising.

You may need to contact an Ames work injury lawyer if you attempt to file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim and it is denied. However, seeking immediate medical attention is the best way not only to ensure you are properly treated for your injury, but also that your claim is protected. You will need medical evidence to back up your claim for your injuries.
