Workers’ compensation payouts are available for the majority of workplace injuries. Contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney if you have any questions or concerns about whether your injury qualifies you for benefits. A single incidence, such as a fall or being struck by an object, causes many work comp injuries. These are the most straightforward work-related injuries to recognize. In certain circumstances, the injury occurs over time as a result of cumulative trauma or repetitive stress. If you have cumulative trauma or repetitive stress due to your job, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Many workplace injuries are the result of a pre-existing physical issue becoming worse. If your job aggravates a pre-existing ailment, you are still entitled to workers’ compensation payments under Iowa law and workers’ compensation law to cover your medical bills and related medical expenses.
