Workers' Compensation
We specialize in workers' compensation cases for Iowa employees injured on the job. Our services cover back, neck, and limb injuries, occupational diseases, and workplace fatalities. We help clients navigate Iowa's complex workers' compensation system, challenge denied claims, and secure benefits for medical treatment, lost wages, and permanent disabilities. Our experience includes representing clients before the Iowa Workers' Compensation Commission and negotiating settlements with insurance providers.
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice handles cases resulting from auto accidents, construction site falls, dog bites, and premises liability. We pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage. The firm represents clients in negotiations with insurance companies and litigates cases when necessary. We handle both straightforward injury claims and complex cases involving catastrophic injuries or wrongful death allegations.
Legal Mediation
We provide mediation services for workers' compensation and personal injury cases across Iowa. Our mediation process facilitates negotiated settlements between injured workers, insurance companies, and legal representatives. We offer both office-based and on-site mediation at client locations. Our mediator combines legal expertise with practical understanding of Iowa's compensation systems to help parties reach mutually acceptable resolutions while avoiding formal hearings.
Auto Accident Lawyer
Our auto accident services cover collisions involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles. We handle claims against negligent drivers' insurance companies, seeking compensation for medical treatment, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and emotional distress.

We represent clients at all stages of the claims process, from initial reporting through litigation when fair settlements cannot be achieved.
