What is workers’ comp?

"Workers' compensation" refers to laws outlining benefits to which injured employees are entitled, and the procedures for obtaining such benefits. Every state has its own workers' comp laws. There are also federal workers' compensation laws for employees of the federal government and other specific types of industries. The Workers’ Compensation Act is designed to provide benefits to employees who sustain injuries or occupational illnesses as a result of their employment. Benefits are payable regardless of fault and are administered according to state law.

The attorneys at the Klass Law Firm provide efficient handling of workers’ compensation matters in cases involving:

• Construction site accidents – scaffold injury
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Repetitive stress injuries – carpal tunnel syndrome
• Catastrophic injuries – head injuries, back injuries, neck injuries
• Wrongful death
• Occupational diseases

Workers’ compensation benefits may provide payment for all reasonable and necessary medical care incurred to treat the work-related injury. Those who are unable to work temporarily, or who are permanently disabled may be entitled to compensation for their lost weekly wages. We work with clients who have become sick or injured due to unsafe working conditions in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Our attorneys help clients understand their rights and assist them in the workers’ compensation benefits claim process.
