Knowledgeable Representation For Workers’ Compensation Disputes
Workplace injuries do not only happen to construction workers and farmers. They can happen to anyone, regardless of their job or the industry they are in. Although the workplace environment should be safe and free from hazards, accidents are still quite common. When a worker slips and falls due to a foreign substance on the floor and lands in a harmful way, it can cause head and neck injuries that potentially lead to long-term disability or even death. A fall at work may damage the spine, resulting in sprains, fractures or other back-related injuries.
Slip-and-falls are not the only common cause of injury in the workplace. Workers can injure their backs and other parts of their body if hit by falling or swinging objects. Performing the same movements over time can also take a toll on the back and limbs, causing repetitive stress injuries.
If you have suffered an injury in the workplace and are facing physical challenges that prevent you from working, our attorneys can help you fully understand your rights and pursue the workers’ compensation you and your family need. A workplace injury may prevent you from doing your job, but it should not prevent you from supporting your family. Our personal injury lawyers at Carter Law Offices, P.C., in Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska, are ready to help you.

We know how important your workers’ compensation benefits are for your physical and financial health. Getting these resources not only provides continued security for your family but gives you the opportunity you need to recover your health.
We work with individuals from a wide range of professions, including construction workers, office workers, nurses and health care professionals, factory workers and farmers. Rely on our lawyers to help you when you have suffered a workplace injury, such as:
