While doing some heavy lifting at work I injured my back and neck.  At first, the insurance company seemed to be taking care of me as they paid for my medical care and some weekly checks.  Then they stopped paying me so I called Corey to see what I could do.  Corey met with me and explained how the Iowa workers compensation system works.  He sent them a letter and got them to pay me more money for my disability.  He was also able to get me a good settlement without having to go through the litigation process.  I am sure glad that I called Corey. 


Dawn of Ames, Iowa

A family member of mine was using Corey in his workers' compensation case so I decided to give him a call.  Corey agreed to take my case with no retainer and no risk to me because his fee was contingent upon me making a recovery.  I had hurt my back at work, but the insurance company had not paid me any permanent work comp. benefits even though my employer of more than 20 years had let me go because of my back injury. Corey was able to get me a good settlement so I can pay off my house and focus on my future and get back to work. Corey, thanks for everything.  You did a super job representing me.  I greatly appreciate all you have done for me.  I will be more than happy to refer anyone that needs an attorney to help them out.


Jon of Mason City, Iowa

Erik made everything easy for me to understand.  He was also flexible when issues arose that did not allow me to come to the office to sign paperwork.  Thank you for representing me Erik!

Glenn of New Sharon, Iowa

I slipped and fell on the wet floor of a restaurant bathroom and broke my ankle.  I missed over two months of work and was having trouble paying all my bills.  I called Walker, Billingsley & Bair and asked Erik if there was anything he could do to help.  Erik quickly contacted the insurance company for the restaurant and was able to get me money for my lost wages, medical bills and money for the pain I had to live with.  I am very happy I hired Erik to help me with my personal injury case.

Katie of Grinnell, Iowa

I think Corey is an excellent attorney.  He is very compassionate, understanding and skilled.  I would definitely reconsider hiring Corey if I ever needed him again.  Thank you Corey


Verna of Osage, Iowa

I fractured my ankle and a rib when I slipped and fell on ice in the parking lot of my apartment building.  I was hospitalized and required to stay several months in a care facility because of my injuries. My medical bills were piling up and I wasn’t sure what to do.  I contacted attorney Erik Bair to see if I had a case against the owner of my building.  Erik helped me to get my medical bills paid and he helped me recover money for the pain I had to live with because of my injuries.  I am very pleased with how Erik handled my case and would recommend him to anyone who has been injured. 

Maxine, Kellogg, Iowa

I broke a rib and injured my back when another driver pulled out in front of me and forced my car into a ditch.  The insurance company for the other driver was not being very cooperative and I hired Walker, Billingsley & Bair to protect my rights.  Erik Bair did a great job with my case and got the results I wanted.  He is a good lawyer and someone you can trust. 

Judy, Bussey, Iowa

We were injured while riding our motorcycle when another vehicle pulled in front of us.  We swerved to avoid the accident, but it was too late.  We both sustained injuries and the insurance company for the other driver would not pay us what we thought that we should receive.  We went to talk to Corey and hired him to help us with the case.  While we had to file suit because of our motorcycle accident, before trial Corey was able to get us a good settlement.  Corey did a good job for us in our motorcycle accident case. 

Dennis & Cheryl of Polk County

 

I was hurt in a car accident when the other driver did not yield and caused the crash.   I missed a few months of work, had to take pain pills and had injections in my neck.  Because my medical bills were growing and I missed so much work I decided that I needed to hire an attorney.  I am thankful that I found Corey because he was very helpful.  He returned my calls, told me about what to expect and how car accidents work in Iowa.  With his help and advice I decided to settle my case before filing a lawsuit because it was the right thing for me to do in my case.

When I fell at work and sustained a concussion my world was turned upside down.  I had been driving a tractor trailer for a living and the doctors told me I could not drive truck anymore.  The doctor had given me a 20% impairment rating and the insurance company changed my benefits from temporary to permanent and said they would pay me 100 weeks and then stop.  I was concerned about this and upon a referral from a friend my wife and I called and got a copy of Corey's book.  We were impressed that he would offer so much information at no cost.  We decided to meet with Corey to discuss our options and after he explained how the system worked and answered all of our questions we hired him.  He worked very hard on the case, always called us back and took time to explain the process.  My wife and I will always be grateful for what Corey did in helping me with my work injury.  If I had not hired Corey, I would have only received 100 weeks of benefits instead of the substantial sum he was able to get for me.

I was stopped in my truck at a stop light when I was crashed into from behind by another vehicle.  My neck and back were hurt and I went to the hospital for my injuries.  The insurance company for the other driver offered me some money up front to settle my case right away.  I met with Erik Bair and he took on my case and he forced the insurance company to pay me what my case was really worth.  I’m glad I hired Erik to help me; he answered my questions and kept me up to date on what was happening with my case.  I’m happy with the results he got for me.

Mike of Bondurant, Iowa

I worked as a truck driver and was in an accident that was not my fault.  I was thrown in the cab hurting my shoulder and arm.  I had to have surgery on my arm, but there was nothing they could do to fix my shoulder.  While I was healing after surgery my employer fired me so I called Corey for help with my workers' compensation case.  I went to see Corey in Newton and he met with my wife and me and answered all of our questions.  He had me see one of the doctors he uses in Iowa City for a second opinion.  With the opinion of that doctor we were able to settle my case and I am sure glad that I called Corey.

I injured my back while working in Des Moines, Iowa for a trucking firm.  I went through treatment for my back and eventually was assigned a 5% impairment rating for my permanent disability.  The insurance company sent me a check for the 5% (25 weeks) and then said they were closing my file.  My mother told me I should go see an attorney to find-out my rights.  I went to see Corey and he was able to get me another $20,000 within a few months.  This is money that I had no idea that I should receive.  If the insurance company pays your impairment rating, then you should talk to Corey to find out if he can help you to. 

Scott of Newton, Iowa

My daughter sustained serious injury when she was left unsupervised in a classroom swing by a member of the school staff who was not paying attention.   We trusted attorney Erik Bair to handle our case against the school district.  Attorney Erik Bair took the time to thoroughly prepare the case for trial and obtain the medical opinions we needed to succeed in our case.  As a result of his professionalism and preparation we were able to obtain a settlement of $50,000.  I would recommend that others use his services as well.

Tina of Des Moines, Iowa

I want to thank you for taking my case.  I first saw your ad in the newspaper and my wife said maybe you should talk to someone to see if there is any kind of settlement for my back injury.  Being in the blue collar field all my life I didn’t know what my rights were.  Your law firm is close to Marshalltown, so I asked for your book and after reading it I was sure I needed to talk to Corey.  He has been very helpful and was good at telling me step by step what would happen next.  He was able to get a good settlement that I would not have gotten without him.  Thank you.

I was riding in a friend’s car when we were hit by a driver who ran a red light.  I was wearing my seat belt, but still suffered injuries to my neck, back and arm.  I had to go to physical therapy and about a month after the accident discovered I also had a serious injury to my leg.  I was hospitalized and missed over one month of work.  Erik met with my doctors and convinced the insurance companies that my leg injury was caused by the car accident.  Unfortunately, the driver who ran the red light did not have enough so Erik went after my underinsured motorist coverage through my own insurance company.  They did not want to pay so we took them to court and eventually they settled for my policy limits.  Erik was very helpful and was able to obtain the most money possible from all the insurance policies involved.

Jenny of Des Moines, Iowa

I was a passenger in a car that lost control on the interstate and rolled several times. I was tossed around the inside of the car and injured my neck and my back. My injuries were very painful and required medical treatment. I contacted attorney Erik Bair to help me recover my expenses for my doctor’s appointments. Erik helped me to get my medical bills paid and he helped me recover money for the pain I had to live with because of the accident.  Erik always answered my questions and kept me informed on what was going on with my case. I am very pleased with how Erik handled my car accident case and would recommend him to anyone who has been injured. 

A.J. of Des Moines, Iowa

 While I was working in Grinnell, I hurt my shoulder lifting at work and had to have shoulder surgery.  The workers comp. insurance company did not want to pay for the surgery so Corey filed a petition for alternative medical care which we won.  They had to pay for my surgery and my time off work while I recovered.  While I was able to go back to the same job I had before being hurt, Corey was able to get me more than $30,000 for my work injury.  Without Corey's help I would have not only received no money, but would have had to use my health insurance to pay for the surgery.

Attorney Erik Bair handled my son’s case when he was injured at school while students were allowed to work in the auto shop over the lunch hour without any supervision.  My son was injured when he was picked up and thrown to the ground by an older student.  We obtained a good settlement with the school district because of Erik’s hard work and dedication.  Erik kept us informed with everything that was going on with the case and quickly returned our phone calls.  We are pleased with Erik’s services and would recommend Erik to anyone.  


 Jessica of Jefferson, Iowa

First of all, I had a couple work comp issues and wanted to know what my rights were.  So I did some research online on work comp lawyers.  I came across Walker, Billingsley & Bair.  So I decided to read up on other clients’ experiences with this company.  What I found was every client had nothing but very positive things to say.  And each client’s case was successful.  So I decided to email Walker, Billingsley & Bair about my situation and what could be done.  I emailed them on a Friday and on that Saturday Corey Walker called me.  That definitely surprised me, because I had never had a lawyer contact me on a weekend.  So I called Corey on Monday to discuss my issue.  He explained everything to me and answered all my questions.  He explained his fees right up front so there were no surprises.  He took my case and kept me updated on everything plus gave me copies of all the paperwork. 
 Corey always called me personally to give me updates or keep me clued in to what was going on.  I have never known any lawyer who returns their client’s calls personally.  I really was impressed with that due to the fact that if I had any questions or concerns I was talking directly to Corey himself. 
 I was very impressed with Corey’s work and how well of a job he did for me.  After all if it wasn’t for Corey I wouldn’t have received any settlement.  Corey is very good at his job and definitely knows it well.  I would highly recommend Corey Walker and/or his office to anyone.  They did a great job!!  I greatly appreciate what you have done for me Corey, I can’t thank you enough.

I was working in Council Bluffs, Iowa when I first hurt my back and then my knee at work.  The doctor took me off work and while I was receiving weekly benefits, I knew that I needed to look-out for myself because after surgery I could not return to my job with my construction union.  I looked on the internet and found attorney Corey Walker.  I requested his book and found it easy to read and very useful.  I then made the trip from my home in Omaha to see him at his Des Moines office.  After meeting with him, I knew that he was the attorney for me and while we were about 2 hours away from each other, I always knew what was going on with my case and where we were headed.  He even personally drove to Omaha twice to meet with my doctors to help prove my case.  With his help my case settled just before trial and now I can go back to school and learn how to work more with my brain instead of my body.

When I fell while working at a Des Moines, Iowa grocery store and hurt by back and neck, I called Attorney Corey Walker because I knew him and his family and trusted them.  Corey guided me through the process, returned my phone calls and explained to me how the system worked.  Just before the trial he was able to convince the insurance company to pay me enough money for my work injuries so I can move on with my life and have some financial security.

I know that Corey did the best job possible.  If there was anything I did not understand or did not hear everything correctly it was my fault and I want to thank Corey for having patience with me.

Wayne of Jesup, Iowa

My case was an unusual one, and I was very pleased with Corey’s confidence and reassurance at a very tough time.  It was a comfort to be able to keep in touch with Corey and his staff when I needed anything.  Thank you all.
                      

John of Kelley, Iowa

My leg was broken in a farming accident through no fault of my own.  The farmer’s insurance company denied my claim so I called Corey for help.  Because of my injury, it was difficult to get out of the house so he offered to come see me at my home.  Corey explained the process to me and agreed to accept my case.  Throughout the case he kept me informed and when the case did not settle he prepared my case for trial.  During the trial, the case settled and I was happy with the outcome.  Corey did a good job for me and I know he will do a good job for you to.

Ed of Newton, Iowa

Corey was more than helpful and did more than what I expected.  I have to thank him for what was done.

Richard of Knoxville, Iowa

Corey did an outstanding job for Mary and I.

Eben of Jasper County, Iowa

I had previously had surgery on my knee, but when I was injured in a car accident as a passenger my knee got much worse and I needed additional surgeries.  The other driver denied that he was at fault and his company refused to pay so I went to see Corey.  He was able to prove that the other driver was at fault and that my additional knee surgeries were caused by the accident.  Corey helped me get $220,000 for my knee injury and I would have received nothing if I had not hired him.  Thank you, Corey.

Brandon of Montezuma, Iowa

I hurt my shoulder at work and while I was able to continue to work, my employer was giving me a difficult time.  I went to see Corey and he helped me through the workers’ compensation process and got me a good settlement.

Tiffany of Grinnell, Iowa

I hurt my neck while working at Maytag, but their company doctor said I had no permanent impairment or restrictions.  I was still having problems so I went to see Corey.  He sent me for an examination with another doctor who determined that I did have a permanent injury and should avoid some types of work.  With Corey’s help I was able to get a good settlement.

Charles of Kellogg, Iowa

I sustained back and neck injuries at work and my employer’s insurance company had not paid me any permanent benefits.  I went to see Corey to find-out if they owed me anything.  It turns out that they did so Corey filed a petition for me and we won.  The insurance company did not want to pay so they appealed the decision dragging my case out for several years.  Corey did not give-up and fought them all the way.  In the end it paid-off because he got me a settlement of more than $100,000. 

Beth of Marshall County, Iowa

I injured my shoulder at work and had to have surgery.  The workers’ compensation insurance company paid for some of the time I missed, but not all of it.  I had questions about if this was right or not so I went to see Corey.  I decided to hire him because he answered my questions in a way that I could understand.  While the case took awhile, he always called me back.  I knew I was more than just another file on his desk.  He took on the insurance company and after we had a trial, I received more money than I expected. 

Sarah of Newton, Iowa

When I was hit by a drunk driver I went to go see Corey about what could be done.  I sustained serious injuries including a broken leg and broken arm.  I was confined to a wheelchair for several months and could not work.  With Corey’s help we were able to get the insurance policy limits from the drunk driver and were also able to obtain a settlement from the bar that over served the drunk driver.  It is a good thing that I did not wait to go see Corey because he told me we only had 6 months from when I was hurt to serve a notice to the bar.  I am glad that I went to see Corey right away. 

Josh of Des Moines, Iowa

I was treated very honestly, all questions I had he gave his opinion on and I most definitely feel that Corey Walker handled my case with dignity and pride!!
If I were to ever need another attorney to represent me in any and all of my law needs, it would always be Walker & Billingsley Law Offices.

I thank you from my heart for being there when I needed someone to talk to Corey.

Emery of Mahaska County, Iowa

While working I fell from a ladder and fractured a bone in my back.  My employer and their insurance company paid my bills and treated me pretty fairly, but I thought that it would be in my best interests to talk to an attorney.  I am glad that I called attorney Corey Walker as he told me about the process, including that I should receive permanent disability benefits.  Corey returned my calls and let me know what was going on in my case.  With his help I received a fair settlement and have moved onto a new career.

I hurt my back while working in a grocery store.  The doctor recommended a fusion surgery to my back, but I decided not to have it.  When the insurance company stopped paying me benefits, I knew that I needed to find an attorney.  Thankfully, I found Corey because he got my benefits started again and even waited until the end of my case to take his attorney fee.  Before having a trial, I was able to get a good settlement and move on with my life with Corey's help.

While working at a factory in Grinnell, I fell on some materials on the floor and hurt my back.  Initially, the workers' compensation insurance company paid me benefits, but when they stopped paying I went to see Corey.  Corey was able to get my benefits started again and also able to get me a good settlement.  If your workers comp benefits are stopped in your work injury case you should call Corey to see what he can do.

I was injured when some materials fell on me at work.  I hurt my back and neck and was taken off work.  I did not feel that the insurance company and my employer were treating me fairly so I went to see attorney Corey Walker about my options.  He explained to me what to expect and how the process worked.  While it did take some time, it was worth it because in the end he got me a good settlement for my work injuries.

I hurt may leg badly at work and then started having problems with my back.  I was being paid a weekly work comp. check, but my wife thought it would be a good idea to talk to an attorney about my work injury.  Corey met with me at no charge and after reviewing my case he felt that I was owed significantly more money than what the insurance company was paying.  He took my case and was able got me a $70,000 settlement that I did not know I was owed.  If you have been hurt at work you should at least talk to Corey to find out if you are also owed more money.
