WORKPLACE
INJURY LAW

Representing clients when work injuries occur has been a primary area of practice for Corridorlaw Group. Close collaboration and a team approach by the firm’s lawyers and paralegals make the successful representation of clients far more likely than otherwise in this unique area of law. Knowing (and sometimes making) workers’ compensation law better than other lawyers is how to ensure the best results for clients.

Corridorlaw Group lawyers and paralegals possess firsthand knowledge and maintain hundreds of relationships with the very best medical providers, independent medical examiners, nurse case managers, investigators and vocational rehabilitation experts throughout the United States. These relationships are an intrinsic but highly beneficial component of the firm’s legal services.

Our lawyers have written and presented on workers’ compensation topics to industry groups, employers and injured-worker representatives hundreds of times in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, South Dakota, Arizona and Texas. Lawyers of the firm have taught workers’ compensation classes to paraprofessionals for more than 15 years and have mentored many other lawyers who currently practice in workers’ compensation law throughout the state of Iowa.

Our lawyers also work with clients and safety professionals to create safer and healthier workplaces that comply with applicable OSHA standards and regulations. When involved with workplace health and safety audits, our lawyers pay particular attention to the most heavily scrutinized standards, such as those that govern fall protection, scaffolds, concrete and masonry construction, demolition, excavation, trenches, machine guarding, respiratory protection and agricultural hazards. The goal of these audits is to identify and evaluate problems that might otherwise have led to citations. When fatalities, catastrophic accidents and other tragedies occur in the workplace, our lawyers assist our clients with OSHA inspections. Corridorlaw Group attorneys strive to communicate quickly and effectively with OSHA representatives to withdraw citations without costly litigation and to secure reductions of monetary penalties whenever possible. Our lawyers place a high priority on finding practical and cost-effective solutions that help employers avoid litigation when a workplace injury occurs. When litigation does prove unavoidable, whether by contesting citations, participating in whistle-blower litigation or defending against warrants and injunctions, we represent our clients vigorously and with tenacity.

Experience and leadership is what our attorneys bring to the table when it comes to workplace injury law.
