The Risks Blue Collar Workers Face

In industries such as manufacturing, food processing, agriculture and construction, blue collar workers face significant hazards on the job every day. This is also true for those who travel extensively for work, like contractors and truckers. Here’s a quick look at the common types of accidents and injuries these workers may encounter:

• Falls from heights such as ladders and scaffolding
• Trips and falls, which often result in back, elbow, arm and leg injuries
• Machinery-related injuries such as lacerations and amputations
• Fire and electrical injuries resulting in severe burns
• Work vehicle-related accidents such as collisions and rollovers
• Lifting injuries such as back, neck, shoulder and knee injuries
• Repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Exposure to harmful substances, causing chemical burns, lung issues and occupational diseases
• Disabling injuries such as traumatic brain injuries

Any of these injuries can derail your life, especially if you’ve sustained more than one injury. You may be facing financial strain on top of the physical burdens. We understand what you’re going through, and we can help.

Our team is familiar with major employers in the area, such as JBS Foods, Emerson Electric Co., and Lennox International Inc. We represent injured workers from all walks of life.

Fighting For The Benefits You Deserve

Iowa, like other states, requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ comp offers medical coverage, financial support and other benefits for employees who have suffered work-related injuries or illnesses.

However, getting the benefits you deserve can be an uphill battle. You might face hurdles such as denied claims, delayed payments, uncovered medical expenses, terminated benefits, or disputes over the cause or severity of your injuries. That’s where we come in.

We can help you understand the types of benefits available – which may include medical care, wage replacement and disability benefits. We can advise you on the do’s and don’ts of pursuing a claim. If your benefits are denied or unfairly terminated, we can represent you in appeals and hearings. We can advocate on your behalf to overcome any obstacles you might encounter at any stage in the process.
