Local Representation For Your Workplace Injury Case
Perry, nestled along the North Raccoon River, is a strong community of nearly 8,000 residents. Its downtown is full of historic buildings and striking murals. When the hardworking people of this west Iowa city are facing hardships due to work injuries, they deserve legal representation focused on pursuing the relief they need. My name is Nick Platt, and I am a workers’ compensation attorney. My firm, Platt Law Firm P.C. is dedicated to supporting injured workers in Iowa. Let me be the strong and caring advocate you need when you are hurt on the job in Perry or other parts of Dallas County.
Under the Iowa workers’ compensation system, Perry residents can seek medical treatment coverage and other benefits after workplace injuries. This is done through a workers’ compensation claim. You file your initial claim with your employer and its workers’ compensation insurance company. These specifics of where and how you do so depend on your company’s policies.
If your employer denies your claim or offers you an inadequate amount of benefits, you can seek an arbitration hearing with the state’s Workers’ Compensation Division, which is based in Des Moines. If you reach the point of needing judicial review, you can file a case with the district court at the Dallas County Courthouse, located in Adel.
Whether you need help with an initial claim or pursuing an appeal of a denial or lowball benefits offer, I am ready to guide you forward. Located in Urbandale, my office is conveniently located about a 35-minute drive from Perry using Iowa Highway 141. I understand the challenges workers in Perry can face after workplace injuries and will strive to help you overcome them. Let me pursue the Perry workers’ compensation benefits you deserve.
In most cases, a workers’ compensation claim is a Perry worker’s sole legal option after an on-the-job accident. Iowa law generally prevents you from suing your employer over work injuries. However, you may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against a third party who played a role in your accident. One example of this is a manufacturer who created a faulty piece of equipment that contributed to your injuries. As an experienced Perry workers’ compensation attorney, I can help you understand if a third-party injury claim would be an available option for you.
If you’re dealing with the aftermath of a work injury in Perry, get the support you deserve. Reach out to me today for a free consultation to learn more about your rights and options. You can get in touch with my firm by emailing or calling 515-278-1522. Se habla español.
