Workers' Compensation Overview

Have You Been Injured at Work? We Can Help

If you have been injured at work, the Thomas J. Reilly Law Firm can help you get the full amount of compensation that you are entitled to under the law.

Many injured people believe that their employer and their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company will deal with them fairly. This is often not true.

When an employer and their insurance company receive notice that you have been injured at work, they will usually assign an adjuster to your case, as well as a case nurse manager. The adjuster or employer will call you or meet with you to get a “fact statement.”

Often the adjuster or employer has marching orders to solicit information from you that will assist them in denying any claim you make for compensation for your injuries.

The case nurse manager is often involved to attend doctor appointments with you and provide pressure on medical providers to return you to work as soon as possible without any limitations on what you are able to do.

The fact of the matter is that an injured worker is often outnumbered and too frequently outmatched by the employer, their insurance company, and the insurance company’s representatives.

The employer and insurance company often do not inform injured workers of their full rights under Iowa’s laws, do not pay full amounts due to injured workers, and delay, deny, and defend work injury claims. The injured worker suffers as a result.
