Here are some cases that we have successfully resolved.  Remember that each case is different.  Once a case is in the hands of a judge, it is out of our control.  We have had cases in which we were pleasantly surprised by the verdict and others in which we were disappointed.  We do not win every case and sometimes we obtain a verdict which we are not able to collect the money owed from the defendant due to bankruptcy or other reasons.  However, we do believe that significant trial experience and results are factors that people may use to choose one attorney over another.  With these things in mind, here are some of our results which are the total amount received before the deduction of attorney fees and costs:

$310,000 workers' compensation settlement for an over the road truck driver who injured his back while working for an Iowa City trucking firm.  His back injury required surgery resulting in permanent impairment and restrictions. 

Verdict of permanent total disability entered providing a nurse injured in Pella, Iowa with weekly benefits for the rest of her life resulting expected payments of more than $800,000.  

 A copier repair person from Brooklyn sustained knee injuries while for a Des Moines employer.  After a trial and appeals, she received more than $125,000 from the Iowa Second Injury Fund. 

$100,000 settlement for a Des Moines, Iowa factory worker who injured his back while lifting requiring surgery.  He was able to return to a similar job without a loss in income, but did have permanent restrictions.  

$112,000 settlement for a woman who sustained a shoulder injury while working at a factory in Marshalltown, Iowa.

$116,263.10 verdict for a truck driver from Des Moines, Iowa who worked for a Boone, Iowa trucking firm.  He sustained a 2nd knee injury requiring surgery which prevented him from returning to his job driving a truck over the road.  

$200,000 settlement for a female production worker from Des Moines, Iowa who sustained multiple shoulder injuries which prohibited her from returning to her same job.  

CNA who sustained back and neck injuries while working in a nursing home in Marshalltown, Iowa was paid no permanent benefits until attorney Corey Walker took her case and was able to achieve a settlement of $105,000.  

A  verdict of $96,285.66 entered representing 55% industrial disability against the 2nd Injury Fund of Iowa for a Des Moines, Iowa woman who sustained knee injuries requiring retraining. 

$120,000 settlement for a Grinnell, Iowa woman who worked for a Des Moines, Iowa employer who sustained carpel and cubital tunnel requiring multiple surgeries. 

Verdict of permanent total disability entered for a school crossing guard from near Marshalltown, Iowa who sustained shoulder injuries requiring surgery.  The verdict will provide her with weekly benefits for the rest of her life resulting in expected payments of more than $200,000. 

$120,000 settlement for a Newton, Iowa man who fell at work sustaining a broken bone resulting in permanent restrictions. 

$115,000 settlement for a Knoxville, Iowa woman who fell in a parking lot while at work which aggravated her prior back and neck problems causing permanent restrictions. 

$63,181.70 verdict against the Second Injury Fund of Iowa for a man who had a prior knee injury from high school and then injured his other knee while working in Ames, Iowa.

$110,000 settlement for a Tama, Iowa construction worker who injured his back which required surgery and resulted in permanent lifting restrictions. 

$150,000 settlement for a nurse from Marshalltown, Iowa who injured her back at work requiring surgery and who was then unable to return to her same job as a nurse. 

A verdict worth more than $125,000 was entered against the Second Injury Fund of Iowa for a Brooklyn, Iowa woman with a prior knee injury who then sustained injuries to both of her knees. 

A settlement of $425,000 was obtained for a Des Moines, Iowa nurse who sustained a life changing back injury which did not require surgery.  However, the back injury prevented her from returning to work. 

A settlement of $165,000 was reached in mediation for a 64 year old factory worker from Newton, Iowa who required back surgery after lifting a heavy object at work in Des Moines, Iowa. 

After filing a petition for benefits, a production worker from Waterloo, Iowa received a settlement of $220,000 when two back surgeries did not fix his problems. 

$62,250 settlement obtained for an Oskaloosa, Iowa woman who injured her back at work while she was working at a local nursing home. 

$175,000 settlement for a nurse who injured her back while lifting a patient in Marshalltown, Iowa.  While she had previously had a back surgery, her work injury aggravated her preexisting back condition requiring a fusion surgery. 

(NOTICE: PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT PAST RESULTS ACHIEVED ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.  EACH CASE IS UNIQUE AND REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE SPECIFIC LEGAL AND FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENTED.  THESE RESULTS MAY NOT BE TYPICAL AND THE FACTS OF YOUR CASE ARE PROBABLY VERY DIFFERENT.  THERE ARE MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR CASE.  THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON THE ABOVE RESULTS IN RESOLVING YOUR CASE, BUT RATHER SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR CASE AND HOW THE LAW AND FACTS APPLY TO IT. )
