Thankfully for Jim, he found my webpage on the internet and requested my Iowa Workers' Compensation book. I sent him my work injury book along with an audio CD discussing work injuries and an interview discussing Iowa's workers' compensation system. Jim lived in Texas, but drove for an Iowa trucking company. I explained to Jim that the contract he signed with his employer provided that he would receive Iowa workers' compensation benefits. This was actually good for Jim because Iowa has one of the best systems in the country. I had a phone conference with him on the phone and agreed to take his case. We were able to complete the necessary documents through mail for him to sign and he did not have to come back to Iowa. Once I intervened in the case, the insurance company decided that Jim's claim was legitimate and began paying him for his lost wages. After missing several months of work, Jim made a satisfactory recovery. However, he was not able to go back to driving a truck which is all he had ever done. While the case was pending he applied for and qualified for Social Security disability benefits. We were set to have a trial in this case, but one week prior to trial I was able to obtain a "just" settlement for Jim so he can move on with his life. People hurt at work often do not know what their basic rights are. If you have an Iowa Workers' compensation claim, then you should have the basic information about your rights under Iowa's workers' compensation laws, including what benefits you should receive, how your weekly check is calculated and much more. This article contains general statements, is not intended as legal advice or legal opinions and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not act or rely upon the information in this article without seeking the advice of an attorney because changes in the law occur frequently and you should consult with an attorney with respect to your particular case.

I offer a FREE Book entitled "Iowa Workers' Compensation- An Insider's Guide to Work Injuries". Why offer a Free Book? Over the past 10 years I have represented hundreds of Iowans hurt at work and seen too many clients make mistakes before they had the "right" information costing them thousands of dollars.
