A workplace injury can leave you with overwhelming bills and financial concerns. Workers’ compensation exists to help you manage these expenses, allowing you to focus on recovery and returning to work.
At Hedberg & Boulton, P.C., in Des Moines, we focus on helping injured workers throughout Iowa receive the full benefits they deserve. Our experienced attorneys know the law and will advocate for you, making sure you get the maximum compensation for your injuries, lost wages and long-term care.
Iowa workers’ compensation offers several important benefits for those injured on the job:
Coverage for necessary treatments, including doctor visits, surgeries, rehabilitation and ongoing care. This helps ensure you receive the medical attention needed for recovery without worrying about the costs.
Wage replacement if you cannot work due to your injury, typically at 80% of your pre-injury wages before taxes. This support helps maintain your financial stability while you recover.
Compensation for long-term injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), paralysis or disfigurement. These benefits account for the impact on your future earning potential and may qualify you for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), providing crucial financial support for your ongoing care and living expenses.
Additional compensation for serious spinal injuries, including herniated discs or fractured vertebrae. Given the potential for long recovery times, these benefits help cover extensive treatment needs.
Assistance with job retraining or finding new employment if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous position. This support is essential for regaining independence in the workplace.
These benefits help make sure you receive the financial support and care necessary after a work injury. A dedicated workers’ compensation lawyer can help you maximize your benefits and protect your rights.
