When employees are injured on the job, they should first report the injury. Once the injury is reported, employees should be cautious when dealing with their employer's insurance company. 

Because the insurance company has interest to limit the amount of payments, it may try to persuade injured employees to sign documents that take away some of their workers' compensation rights. In most cases, employees should not sign these documents until they consult an attorney.

Manufacturing plants are typically filled with numerous pieces of equipment. Because this equipment is usually large and complex, employees who work on this equipment face the risk of serious injury. 

Such injuries can occur if the equipment malfunctions, if the employees mishandle the equipment, or if the equipment breaks down. When these injuries are so severe that the employee cannot return to work, then the employee may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits. 

These benefits often include payment for medical expenses or lost wages. If you or anyone you know has been injured in a manufacturing accident, contact the Iowa workers' compensation lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C., at 877-327-2600.

Many people associate workplace injuries with physical injuries to bones or muscle tissues. Workplace injuries, however, can also include pyschiatric damage and pain suffered by an employee. 

Psychiatric injuries include work-related stress, depression, or anxiety. To establish a psychiatric injury case, the plaintiff must show that the injury was caused by some factor of their work environment.
