Des Moines Strains and Sprains Workplace Injury Lawyers

If you or someone you love has suffered a strain or sprain injury while on the job, then you might be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Strains and sprains are soft tissue injuries. They are often caused by sudden trauma to a certain area, and in severe cases they can require surgery or physical therapy. They might require an MRI for proper diagnosis. These injuries can be very expensive, and may require victims to miss days or weeks of work.

Employers are required by law to provide workers’ compensation insurance for their employees who are injured while on the job. If you sustained your sprain or strain while working, regardless of how exactly it occurred, you should be able to recover compensation to pay for your medical expenses and lost wages. However, correctly filing workers’ compensation forms and making sure that you are offered the amount of money you deserve can be difficult.

LaMarca Law Group, P.C. has been representing injured workers in Des Moines for years. We can ensure that you fill out and file your forms correctly, and fight back against employers who try to minimize or deny your claim.

Do I Really Need a Workplace Injury Lawyer?

Workplace injuries are unique. If someone is injured while working, not only is the company’s insurance company supposed to compensate their workers for medical bills and time lost from work, but also, regular medical insurance will sometimes deny any associated claim. That means that an accident or injury that would ordinarily be covered under your employee health plan or under your spouse’s insurance could be considered a special circumstance. Some plans specify in the policy that they will not cover workers’ compensation claims, so it is essential that your workers’ compensation claim is successful.

That makes it particularly important for you to hire a workplace injury lawyer. If your place of employment and their insurance company denies your workers’ compensation claim and, at the same time, your medical insurance won’t cover you because they don’t believe they have to, then you get stuck with all the bills. A lawyer can help you fill out all the documentation required for your claim and ensure you file it properly to avoid any mistakes that could delay your compensation. In the event that your employer’s insurance offers you a lowball settlement or even denies your claim, your lawyer will be invaluable in fighting back to get you every cent you need and deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I win, and will I receive workers compensation benefits?

We certainly want you to. To answer these questions, we must meet with you for a free consultation to help determine a few things. First, we will need to understand the circumstances surrounding your injuries. Are they, in fact, work-related injuries? What is the severity of those injuries? How long will you need to be away from work? What kind of medical treatment is required? The answers to these and other questions will help us figure out the best path forward. If we decide to take your case, we will do everything in our power to ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to.

Will the process take a long time?

It could. Depending upon the insurance company we need to deal with, the type of workplace injury, and other factors, your case could be resolved quickly, or it could take some time. If your claim is approved immediately, your case may be very short. If for any reason your claim is minimized or denied, your case will likely take longer.
