Can I receive workers’ compensation if I am partially at fault?

Workers’ compensation is not distributed based on fault. In other words, even if you are partially responsible for the accident you suffered, you can still receive compensation for your related medical expenses. However, your employer’s worker comp insurance provider may contest your case if you are accused of being intoxicated at work or deliberately causing your injuries.

If your Iowa workers’ compensation claim is being contested, you need efficient and experienced legal counsel. Contact Your Iowa Lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. at 877-327-2600.
