Des Moines Workplace Injury Attorneys
An on-the-job injury can change lives in an instant, leading to hospitalization, a lengthy recovery period, and the financial challenge of missing work while medical bills and other expenses roll in. Your recovery and your family's well-being can depend on whether you receive solid legal guidance about your options for recovering compensation.
The vast majority of job-site injury victims in Iowa can receive workers' compensation benefits — but, especially when injuries are severe or a fatal job accident has occurred, it is extremely important to consult an attorney who will explore other potential sources of compensation in your case.
Do You Have Legal Recourse Beyond a Workers' Compensation Claim?
While workers' compensation is a vitally important program, job injury victims sometimes have other, more valuable "third-party" liability claims. At Galligan & Reid, P.C., we will be honest with you about whether you need a workers' compensation lawyer — and we will consider and investigate how your work accident occurred in order to determine if you may have a personal injury claim against someone other than your employer.
Our Iowa work accident attorneys have handled many high-value cases on behalf of construction workers and others harmed in falls or work vehicle accidents, by equipment defects and failures, and through various forms of contractor or manufacturer negligence.
