Informative, tenacious Iowa work injury attorneys
Your employer, regardless of its size or industry, may be reluctant to give you the compensation to which you are entitled if you have been injured at work. This is illegal. It can be difficult, however, to determine if your employer is doing this without the aid of an experienced, thorough attorney. Here are a few ways, your employer may be withholding money from you:

• You are owed a paycheck while you recuperate from surgery due to work-related injuries, and you are entitled to money during your healing period at home.
• In the case of a head, neck, back, shoulder or hip injury typically, your initial injury and recovery time may be just the beginning. These sorts of injuries tend to be life-long, and greatly impact your everyday ability to function. You are entitled to compensation for future losses.
• Your company and its insurance company will not take into account your long-term earnings capacity and the loss of that capacity. A lawyer can help you determine how the injury has impacted your earning capacity.
• It is also important to consider how difficult would it be for you to obtain new employment, given your age, education, skill set, permanent impairment assigned by the doctor and permanent work restrictions. This may increase how many weeks, months or years worth of workers' compensation benefits are due to you.
• A little-known benefit is your right to mileage. Simply keep track of all mileage to and from your job-related doctor appointments, physical therapy and pharmacy visits and submit them to your employer. By law, this mileage must be paid. Lost time to attend these medical visits may also be paid.
• Under Iowa law, you are entitled to a second opinion regarding your case. This doctor is chosen by you and paid for by the employer.
