Ethan Hughes

Ethan Hughes works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Iowa. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Ethan Hughes handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Iowa, including Healthcare Worker Injuries, Needlestick Injuries, Workers Compensation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Iowa, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Ethan immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Ethan Hughes's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 5 years of experience in Iowa workers' comp law, Ethan knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Ethan Hughes primarily serves clients in Ankeny and the surrounding Iowa area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Iowa and were injured at work, contact Ethan's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
