Many of our clients perform manual labor on a daily basis. Performing heavy physical labor, lifting heavy objects, nursing home residents or hospital patients can cause strain to the back and neck. Neck and back injuries often lead to pain in other areas of the body, numbness in the hands and feet, or chronic pain.
A shoulder injury can be caused by heavy lifting, overhead lifting, cumulative stress, or other actions. Lawyer, Dougherty & Palmer P.L.C. helps workers from a variety of industries who have sustained shoulder injuries. Our clients include trade union members, workers in construction, manufacturing, heavy labor, factories, nursing homes, trucking, and other industries.
Most injured workers are released by their doctors to return to work. Iowa law recently changed, impacting the way injured workers are compensated for whole-body injuries (head, neck, back and hip injuries). Later on, if the injured worker is terminated, he or she may be able to file a Review-Reopening Petition, and seek additional benefits.
