Iowa Workers' Compensation Lawyers
If you have been injured at work in Iowa, you need an advocate, someone who will fight for your rights. Thomas Wertz is an experienced Iowa workers’ compensation lawyer who will make sure you receive all the legal benefits available to you.
While other firms handle a variety of legal cases, we focus on workers' compensation claims. With more than 60 years of combined experience, we have helped thousands of injured workers just like you.
Due to new workers’ compensation laws, injured workers face two separate and distinct outcomes, depending on when an injury took place. Injuries before July 1, 2017, will likely have a significantly different outcome than injuries after that date. This creates a significant degree of uncertainty whereby an injured worker should contact an attorney specializing in workers’ compensation to determine what laws apply, and to make sure they are being treated fairly. We will provide a free consultation.
