We're committed to helping you learn more about Iowa's sometimes complicated injury laws. For example, did you know that you can receive pain and suffering damages in a car accident, but not in a workers' compensation case? Or that in a workers' compensation case you're to be paid mileage going to and from your medical appointments including the pharmacy to pick-up medications?
Well, there are many things that most injured Iowans do not know about the laws and we try to answer most of the questions here at IowaInjured.com in the various articles and FAQs (frequently asked questions) we've written. However, if you do not see the answer to your question, we invite you to take advantage of our firm's FREE and confidential injury audit. You can also request to receive any of our books at no cost to you. Our books go into more detail about your injury case and describe the process from start to finish including how to avoid costly mistakes in your case.
