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

Treating a broken bone is imperative because it could lead to debilitating pain and lack of mobility. Additionally, if broken bones are not properly set, it could lead to misalignment. This may leave an individual with long-term consequences, including a loss of function. That’s why it’s highly advised that you pursue an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim with the help of an Ames work injury lawyer.

Most broken bones are treated by setting the bone back in place. However, severe breaks could require surgery. In either case, you will be out of work and unable to collect wages. An Iowa Workers' Compensation claim can address this.

Another common injury that can be suffered in a slip and fall accident is a rotator cuff injury, in which muscles or tendons can become strained or torn.

Symptoms of a rotator cuff injury include:

• significant pain that is aggravated with certain motions (such as reaching upward, carrying or lifting a heavy object);
• weakness in the shoulder; and
• loss of range of motion.

Mild rotator cuff injuries are generally treated with rest, ice/heat treatments and medication for the pain/inflammation. However, if the injury is severe, it may lead to other types of treatment such as steroid injections, physical therapy or surgery.
