Workers' Compensation
As an attorney in Des Moines who has a primary practice in workers’ compensation I will be able to help you understand your rights if you suffer a job injury.
Some of the workers' compensation rights of which you should be aware follow:
- If you are injured on the job you are entitled to benefits.
- Your employer is required to carry insurance coverage or qualify as a self-insurer to assure that you are properly compensated for your injury.
- Your employer or the employer's insurer must pay for all necessary medical care that is required to treat your injury, along with reasonable travel expenses for you to receive this care.
- There are various types of benefits for which you may qualify depending upon your ability to return to work at the same job you held before your injury.
- You may qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits so you can return to gainful employment.
There are many different things to consider if you are hurt at work. It may be in your best interest to obtain legal counsel to help you sort through the various avenues available to you.
