What Does "Polytrauma" Mean?

It's a word a family may hear after a devastating accident.

Polytrauma describes multiple serious injuries occurring at the same time—for example, several broken bones combined with internal injuries, a traumatic brain injury or spinal injuries.

These cases can involve multiple specialists, extensive rehabilitation and long-term medical needs.

When an injury is this serious, understanding not only today's needs but also what may be needed years from now can be important.

Attorney Rob Conklin discusses catastrophic injuries and polytrauma in a video on our website.

Hit by a car while walking, biking or riding a scooter? Don't automatically assume you were at fault.

These accidents aren't always as simple as "Who had the right of way?"

How fast was the vehicle traveling? Was the driver distracted? Could the driver see you? What were the lighting and road conditions? Were you in a crosswalk, bike lane or another area of the roadway?

Even if questions exist about where you were walking or riding, you may still have legal rights depending on the circumstances.

The facts matter.

If you've been injured while walking, bicycling or riding an e-scooter in Iowa, we're here to answer your questions.

⭐ “Professional, empathetic, and trustworthy.”

Those are the words Dustin used to describe his experience working with attorney David Drake.

But what really stood out to us in Dustin's review was what he said next:

“He also trusted me and actually cared how I was doing.”

Dustin also recognized Mary for being compassionate, patient and there for him throughout a years-long process.

We're incredibly grateful when a client takes the time to share an experience like this. Dustin, thank you for trusting David, Mary and our team with your workers' compensation case.

If you've been injured on the job, you don't have to figure everything out alone.

Can You Have a Brain Injury Even If Your CT Scan Is Normal?

Yes. A normal CT scan does not necessarily rule out a concussion or traumatic brain injury.

Some brain injuries affect how the brain functions rather than causing changes that appear on imaging. Symptoms can include:

🧠 Memory problems
🧠 Difficulty concentrating
🧠 Headaches or dizziness
🧠 Changes in mood or personality
🧠 Sensitivity to light or noise

If symptoms continue or appear after an accident, it's important to discuss them with your medical provider.

If you or someone you love has suffered a brain injury because of someone else's negligence, we're here to answer your legal questions.

“If I file workers' comp, can my employer fire me?”

For many injured workers, that's one of the first worries after getting hurt on the job.

Your paycheck supports your family. Your job provides stability. It's understandable to worry that reporting an injury could put that at risk.

But fear shouldn't keep you from understanding your rights.

Our latest blog discusses what Iowa workers should know about filing a workers' compensation claim, concerns about retaliation, why documenting what happens afterward matters, and when it may be time to talk with an attorney.

"My Workers' Compensation Claim Was Denied Because It Was a Repetitive Motion Injury."

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Many workers assume that because their injury didn't happen in one sudden accident, they don't have a valid workers' compensation claim.

The reality is that repetitive motion injuries—such as carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder injuries, tendonitis, and other overuse conditions—can be more challenging to prove, but a denial doesn't always mean the end of your case.

In this video, Attorney John Lawyer explains why some repetitive motion claims are denied and why it's important to understand your rights before giving up.

If your claim has been denied or you're simply unsure about your options, we're here to answer your questions.

Have you been injured at work and are thinking about quitting? Or were you recently terminated?

Before making your next move, it's important to understand how those decisions could affect your workers' compensation rights.

Many injured workers don't realize that resigning from a job or being terminated after a workplace injury can have a significant impact on their claim, medical benefits, or future compensation.

In this short video, Attorney John Lawyer explains why it's important to understand your rights before making any decisions.

If you have questions about your work injury, don't guess.

🚛 A truck crash isn't just a bigger car accident.

The investigation can be completely different.

A serious commercial truck crash may involve:

✔ Black box data
✔ Electronic driver logs
✔ GPS and dispatch records
✔ Federal trucking regulations
✔ Maintenance and inspection records
✔ Multiple companies and insurance policies

And some of that evidence may not be preserved indefinitely.

Our newest blog explains why truck crashes are different than car accidents and what injured Iowans should know.
