Common Workplace Injuries In Ames

Every industry presents different workplace hazards. We regularly help employees recover benefits for work injuries arising from occupations across the region, including:

• Healthcare and medical services: Exposure to biohazards and medical waste, injuries caused by aggressive patients, slips and falls and muscle or joint injuries from lifting or repositioning patients.
• Higher education and government: Carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain from prolonged office work, along with maintenance injuries involving heavy lifting, ladder falls, equipment accidents and slips.
• Specialized manufacturing: Machinery accidents, assembly line injuries, repetitive motion conditions, crush injuries and hearing loss caused by noisy work environments.
• Food processing: Cuts, amputations, repetitive stress injuries and slips on wet production floors or refrigerated work areas.

Regardless of where an injury occurs, workers deserve to understand their rights and pursue the benefits available under Iowa law.

Pursuing Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Workers’ compensation may provide benefits for medical treatment, wage replacement and permanent disabilities resulting from a work-related injury or occupational illness. Unfortunately, insurance carriers sometimes dispute claims or question the severity of an injury.

Working with a workers’ comp lawyer can help you understand the claims process, gather supporting medical evidence and respond if your benefits are delayed or denied.
