What is the Iowa’s Workers Compensation Act?
It is a system requiring employers to provide cash benefits and medical care to victims of work injuries and diseases. You must establish your condition arose out of and in the course of your job. If you are injured you do not have to prove your employer was at fault. Your employer cannot avoid responsibility by claiming your negligence or fault caused your injury. The Iowa Workers’ Compensation law requires most employers to provide wage loss and medical benefits to employees who are injured while working.
