If in Iowa, would this worker’s widow would be entitled to work comp benefits.

When a worker is killed and the cause of the injuries that killed him both arose out of and was in the course of his employment, the dependent spouse is entitled to receive weekly benefits. She can get these benefits for life, unless she gets married. If considering re-marriage and you tell the lawyer that fact, the lawyer is duty-bound to tell the other side. This means before you decide to get married consider doing one of two things. One, don't get married just live with the bum. Or, two, go to a lawyer and commute your life benefits before you decide to get re-married. Make sense? If not call or contact me first. sdlombardi@aol.com or call 515-222-1110 Steve Lombardi, Lombardi Law Firm

After a worker is injured is when they need the support of their employer the most. But injured workers aren't given a level playing field. The company doctor often times is not helping them and the case manager isn't either. The worker is left alone to fend for themselves and to make mistakes that result in lower benefits or fewer weeks of benefits. Some are sent back to work too soon. There is only one person on your side and that understands this system. If your lawyer doesn't understand the nature of this claim you've got the wrong lawyer. Steve Lombardi has practiced in the area of workers compensation for over 30 years. He's tried hundreds of cases for more than one thousand clients.
