Iowa law states an employee must report a work-related injury to an employer within 90 days of its

occurrence or benefits may be denied.

Consult with a lawyer before providing a recorded statement.

An employer or employer’s insurance company may request a recorded statement describing the accident. This is not required and may be detrimental to your claim. Consult with a lawyer before signing or providing a statement.

Make sure the information you provide about your accident is consistent.

Whether you are providing accident details to a co-worker, supervisor, HR person or a health care provider, be sure the information you provide is true and consistent.
