Sioux City, IA Attorney Representing Injured Employees in their Worker's Compensation Disputes

If you are injured on the job in the State of Iowa, you are probably eligible for worker’s compensation benefits through your employer or their insurance company. That means that you are entitled to compensation for reasonable medical costs and reimbursement for up to 80% of your weekly “spendable income”—the amount remaining after payroll taxes are deducted from your gross weekly earnings. However, when your employer fails to maintain the proper worker’s comp insurance, refuses to file a claim on your behalf, or otherwise interferes with the compensation to which you are entitled under Iowa law, you may be in for a fight. The Sioux City law office of Edward J. Keane represents injured employees in their worker’s compensation disputes.

IA Lawyer Representing Laborers In All Types of Worker’s Comp Claims

Attorney Edward J. Keane handles all classes of Worker’s Compensation disputes:

• Worker’s Compensation Claim Denial by Employer
• Claim Denial by Insurer
• Inadequate Reimbursement for Medical Expenses
• Referrals to Unsatisfactory Healthcare Providers
• Wage Reimbursement Disputes
• Employers’ Failure to Maintain Coverage
• Failure to Obtain Relief From Insurance
• All claims arising from workplace injuries that aren’t being handled to the injured worker’s satisfaction.

In Iowa, the employer or their worker’s comp insurance carrier chooses the healthcare provider that you will go to if you’re injured on the job. Sometimes those doctors will succumb to pressure from the insurance company to limit the scope of your claim. When this happens, you could find yourself receiving medical advice that suits your employer or their insurance company, but isn’t in your best interest. If you feel that the doctor that you’ve been sent to is not making your recovery his or her first priority, contact Iowa worker’s compensation attorney Edward J. Keane to discuss your case.

Iowa Workplace Injury Attorney Who Gets Results

Regardless of whether you’re only going to miss a few weeks of work or you have a long-term disability that resulted from a workplace accident, Edward Keane can help. Attorney Keane recognizes that it’s not always beneficial for his clients to engage in a long and adversarial battle with their employers. In many cases, it only requires a letter from a reputable worker’s compensation attorney to the employer or insurer to remedy the situation. However, if necessary, Edward J. Keane can pursue your W.C. claim all the way to the Iowa civil court system.
