Workers' Compensation

Hundreds of Iowa Workers' Compensation Claims Handled

The workers' compensation program was created to help workers obtain timely compensation for lost wages when they are unable to work following workplace injuries, and to pay workers' medical expenses. Why, then, is it often so difficult to successfully pursue workers' compensation benefits? And who can work to ensure your claim or appeal was handled appropriately?

At the Des Moines, Iowa, workers' compensation and personal injury law firm of Stoltze & Updegraff, P.C. we have handled hundreds of workers' compensation claims since firm founder attorney Bruce Stoltze entered the practice of law in 1977. If you have been injured in an on-the-job accident, or if your workers' compensation claim has been denied in an administrative or district hearing, we can help.

Do not risk or accept a denied workers' compensation claim without first consulting with an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. Instead, schedule a free consultation with Stoltze & Updegraff, P.C. to discuss your claim and your rights. Call (515) 244-1473.

Our three-member attorney team has handled hundreds of personal injury and workers' compensation claims, and is skilled at investigating claims and arguing for maximum and timely compensation. We work with doctors, investigators, accident reconstructionists and other experts when necessary to prove cause, liability and damages and to hold employers responsible.

We handle workers' compensation claims ranging from office-related repetitive stress and movement injuries to catastrophic injuries, including a 2008 case in which a client suffered brain damage in a workplace machinery accident. Another recent case began as a workers' compensation claim and eventually resulted in a $13 million jury verdict involving insurance bad faith.
