Dubuque Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
Dubuque is one of those cities you could simply stroll through and make a day of it. That’s thanks to its olden architecture, luscious greenery, beautiful blue skies, and nostalgic hometown feel.

We are a widely recognized Workers’ Compensation law firm, and our mission is to make a sizable difference in the outcome of our client’s cases.
Iowans work hard. Dubuque didn’t become a lovely respite or booming business sector overnight, and it doesn’t retain its charm all on its own. It’s the people who put the place in motion, and they deserve the very best representation and respect.

Don’t make the mistake of hiring a lawyer whose primary focus is uncomplicated personal injury. Choosing the right lawyer can make all the difference.

Our Case Results
-
$1 Million Workers Slip and Fall
After hearing, the Deputy Workers’ Compensation Commissioner entered an award fully in favor of the Claimant finding him permanently and totally disabled. The Decision resulted in an award with the present value of in excess of $1 million. In addition, the Defendants were ordered to pay the Claimant’s medical expenses for the remainder of his life.
-
$450,000 Partial Commutation
In 2013, our client was a truck driver who was fatally injured in a tragic auto accident. He was married at the time and as a result his wife was entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits. Those benefits would end upon her death or shortly after she were to remarry. The surviving spouse was finding it difficult to live on the weekly Workers’ Compensation benefits and for other reasons wanted to have the money paid in a lump sum.
