Oxford, Iowa I-80 Road Construction Crew Semi-Truck Collision

We don’t have much information this morning but it’s being reported by Radio Iowa and the Des Moines Register that a road construction crew on I-80 near Oxford, Iowa were injured with a semi-truck collided with one of the cement or concrete barriers in a construction zone. Oxford is about nine miles west of Coralville, Iowa.  The collision occurred late yesterday morning. You have to wonder if the semi-truck driver was texting or talking on a cell phone.

FAQs

Workers' Compensation

What can I do if I was hurt at work and my employer has not helped me yet? I got hurt at work over a month ago and I am in need to get a MRI and the company keeps putting it off. They did not turn it in to workman's compensation and I need to see what's wrong. I am having a lot of pain. What can I do?

What can I do if worker's compensation won't communicate with my attorney? I slipped and fell at work on the school bus steps. I hurt my back and the xray and MRI says I'm fine but I can't function and I am in constant pain. The doctor says I have lower lumbar pain and my left sciatic nerve is giving me problems. I went to physical therapy but workers comp only approved 12 visits. I have a list of restrictions. Workers compensation won't approve my 2nd opinion on my back and won't approve any more therapy and they just started pay me but they are under paying me. On January 13th, I would have been off work for 3 months. I have an 11 month old child and due to non payment from workers comp I lost my apartment and my lights and water got cut off. I had to pull my child out of daycare. My job won’t let my come back unless I am free from restrictions and free from doctors’ care. If I do a settlement case with my job and workers comp how much do you think I'll get? Because I am so far in debt and now I have to go to court over the apartment I just lost. and yes i do have a lawyer but it seems as if he can’t do anything either. workers comp wont communicate with him or email back they won’t correct my amount or back pay me so I'm like what do I have a lawyer for again?

Can I sue my employer if I was injured at work after several months?  I got hurt while working at a company. They treated me for tendinitis and kept me working under lifting restrictions. Seven months later they found an almost 2 inch tear in my rotater cuff. I had surgery then physical therapy for 5 months. After about 3 months of progress at PT I started having severe pain. I returned to the doctor and was put on an anti-inflammatory. I am still currently taking them. A few months prior to having or even knowing about the surgery, I had plans to move closer to family. I had asked my job if my injury would affect my transfer, I was told 'no not at all' they even helped me put in the transfer request. I recently made the move from Pennsylvania to Nebraska. I am now being told that I am non-transferable. I have been with this company for over 3 years, had an excellent annual evaluation, and did everything they asked up until the move. Due to the continuous inflammation and pain, I'm unable to do previous jobs or personal tasks. Do I have a case? Could I sue for continued medical care or a settlement?
