Can Waverly Workers Get Workers’ Comp For Mental Health Conditions?
Yes, under Iowa’s workers’ compensation laws, workers can seek medical coverage and other benefits for physical and mental injuries related to their jobs. Mental health claims, however, can raise unique challenges. For one, proving that a mental health condition came about or got worse because of work can be difficult. Having experienced legal help is essential in these cases. I can guide you through seeking workers’ compensation for mental health injuries.
How Long Can Benefits Last For Waverly Workers?
The duration of workers’ comp benefits varies by type in Iowa:
- Medical bills: Coverage continues as long as treatment remains necessary for the work injury
- Temporary disability benefits: These last until you return to your job or are able to return to a similar position
- Permanent partial disability benefits: It depends on several factors, including the kind of injury you suffered
- Permanent total disability benefits: Payments continue as long as your permanent disability remains
- Healing period benefits: These end when you return to work, are able to work or reach the maximum expected recovery
If you believe your employer and its insurer are terminating your Waverly workers’ compensation benefits prematurely, I can guide you through your options for pursuing an appeal to contest this decision.
