James Woods

James Woods 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.

James Woods handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Iowa, including Permanent Disability, Workers Compensation, Employer Retaliation, 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 James immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of James Woods's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 20 years of experience in Iowa workers' comp law, James knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

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