Linda Parker called seeking legal assistance after suffering a workplace injury at McDonald’s in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On October 28, 2024, she struck the top of her foot against a steel table, resulting in a diagnosed concussion on her foot and significant pain that now prevents her from wearing shoes comfortably. A procedure has been recommended by a foot specialist, and she continues to deal with the physical effects of the injury. Despite the severity of the incident, Linda received little to no guidance from her employer. She was never informed about COBRA or her rights under workers’ comp and had to file her claim independently. Although her medical bills were initially covered, she was later informed that her workers’ compensation provider would no longer assist her, leaving her without support. She’s now navigating the system alone, without a clear understanding of what steps to take next. At 66 years old, Linda has limited experience with technology and paperwork, yet she has managed to gather all relevant documentation related to her injury, including medical records and employer details. Her case reflects a broader issue of potential employer neglect and mismanagement of employee injury claims. She is actively looking for an attorney who can help her hold the responsible parties accountable and ensure she receives the care and compensation she deserves.
