Iowa Workers Compensation LawyerExperienced Lawyer Representing Workers Compensation cases in Iowa.If you have been injured while at work, you may be entitled to medical benefits, weekly compensation while off work, and permanent disability compensation. The amount of permanent disability compensation payable depends on the part of your body which was injured. If you sustained an injury to a finger, hand, arm, toe, foot or leg, these are classified as scheduled member injuries and the amount of compensation is established by plugging in the impairment rating to a table. However, if you sustained an injury to your head, neck, back, shoulder or hip, the amount of compensation you are entitled to receive is not a simple mathematical calculation, rather, this requires an evaluation of your loss of earning capacity based on numerous factors including your age, work experience, education and permanent work restrictions. Experience in evaluating these claims is important to ensure you receive full compensation to which you are entitled. Penalty Benefits: As much as a 50% penalty may also be recovered when an insurance company has wrongfully withheld payments due.You are entitled to an independent medical exam to obtain a second opinion as to the full extent of your permanent impairment. Keep in mind that the insurance company has the right to select the treating physician, who may be inclined to give a more conservative rating to keep the referring insurance company happy, or to minimize the permanent impairment resulting from the surgery he performed. It is always a good idea to get a second opinion as to the extent of your impairment, and you are entitled to this second opinion at no cost to you. Do not let the insurance company select the doctor who is going to give the second opinion. Edward J. Keane has had a great deal of experience obtaining second opinions from qualified, independent physicians. Contact attorney Edward J.
