Our attorneys have more than 70 years of combined legal experience and are dedicated to providing the best possible legal representation to you following a work injury. Jason Neifert, Jamie Byrne and Marty Ozga have given numerous talks on workers’ compensation matters at legal seminars throughout the state.

HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED ON THE JOB?Call us for a FREE CONSULTATION!

QUESTION: I suffered an injury to my right knee while i was working, when i fell off a roof. As a result of this injury, i had to have surgery on my knee. Although the doctor did a good job with the surgery, i still have a lot of problems with my knee, and i cannot do the job i did before constructing pole barns because i have been restricted from climbing on ladders and being on roofs. The doctor has provided me with a rating of 7% to the leg for the injury, but that was only about 15 weeks of benefits. I have lost my job as a result of the injury. Is there anything else i can do?

ANSWER: He benefits that you can obtain from an injury to the knee are, as a practical matter, limited to the schedule of benefits contained in the workers’ compensation law. In the case of a leg, the maximum number of weeks is 220 weeks, which means that a 7% injury to the leg would only get you 15.4 weeks of benefits. Other evidence can be used to increase this amount, such as your testimony and the testimony of witnesses.In certain cases, where you have had an injury to what is termed a “scheduled member” (your feet, legs, hands, arms or eyes), you may have a claim against the Second Injury Fund of Iowa if you have had an earlier injury to a different foot, leg, hand, arm or eye. In your situation, if you had an earlier broken wrist, and this caused a permanent injury, the first injury

to the wrist could be combined with the work injury to the right knee to allow for a claim. The first injury does not have to be related to work, although the second injury does.When you have a claim against the Second Injury Fund, the question that needs to be asked concerns your loss of earning capacity as a result of the two injuries that you have suffered. In your case, the fact that that you cannot do your former work may increase the compensation you can receive, if you have had a first injury. It may be a good idea to con-sult with an attorney regarding your question. The attorneys at Neifert, Byrne & Ozga, P.C., have over 70 years of combined legal experience, and can assist you with your workers’ compensation claims.

For more than 38 years, The Learning Post at 2761 100th St. in Urbandale has been a resource for educational products and classroom supplies for teachers, homeschoolers, daycares and parents. With a recent MBA from the University of Iowa and her experience in retail and 17 years of technology experience as the former Vice President of IT at Kum & Go, new owner Kym Howe hopes

to reach new customers throughout the state. Howe, a mother of three and formerly a frequent customer who loved the store, brings new ideas to make The Learning Post more efficient and easier to shop for customers both in the store and, in the future, online. Kym plans to upgrade the store’s current website (www.learningpostltd.com) and expand its educational materials and brands to reach more educators with a larger variety of hard-to-find products for all ages and levels. She retained most of the original store’s employees, which are former or current teachers, so they can continue to provide the best service for existing and new customers. The Learning Post will continue to be locally owned and sell those hard-to-find toys, gifts,

puzzles and games. Find gifts for everyone no matter how old they are, and say thank you to that special teacher with a Learning Post Gift Certificate. “Learning is for all ages — you are never too young or too old to learn something new with items from the Learning Post” says Howe.

Getting the best grooming experience for you and your pet There are many things to think about when it comes to grooming your beloved pet. Does my pet like its groomer? Am I keeping him or her on a regular schedule? Should I be doing more at home? Does my groomer have the experience required to handle any situation? Do they really have my pet’s best interest at heart? These are all questions that can only be answered by a professional. To help address your concerns, here are some tips to put your mind at ease and allow for an easy grooming process for you and your pet. When first finding a groomer, it is important to keep a few things in mind. First, make sure you are picking a grooming facility that suits you. Be sure you’re comfortable with the staff, the facility is clean and they have a schedule that works with yours. Also be sure you understand their policies, from how they charge for appointments to their drop-off and pick-up windows. You want to be sure your groomer is experienced and has all the required knowledge to be able to understand your pet’s behavior. This will keep your pet safe and happy; it also assures that they have a positive experience and are well groomed. Your groomer’s knowledge should extend beyond simply animal behavior. Be sure you pick a groomer who has had experience with different types of dog breeds. You also want to be sure they are knowledgeable about different coat types, textures and skin types. It’s also important that your groomer is continuing to learn more about grooming and animal care so they are always able to properly care for your pet. Effective communication is also necessary between you and your groomer. If your pet isn’t groomed according to your preferences, you need to be able to express your concerns to the groomer. A good groomer will be sure to discuss the appointment with you and check that you’re pleased with the cut; if it’s less than what you expected, they should work with you on what to change so everyone is happy. A good groomer will give your pup a trim that best suits its hair type and personality, as well as your lifestyle. When you’ve found the right groomer, make sure you continue to keep up this relationship. Every groomer can have a different process, so it is best to keep your pet with the same groomer. This allows the groomer to really understand your pet. They should know what behaviors are normal, notice any changes in your pet’s skin or coat between appointments, and know what they like and dislike during the appointment. Forming a relationship with one person takes the stress out of grooming for your pet and allows him or her to bond with and be excited to see the groomer because it knows what to expect. Work with your groomer on developing a regular schedule for appointments. Your groomer should be able to advise you on how frequent appointments should be based on your preferred style and your pet’s hair type. Regular appointments help keep your pet’s coat in good condition and make the grooming process easier. Planning these appointments in advance can also be easier on you as an owner and assure your pet’s schedule won’t be disrupted. Finding a groomer doesn’t have to be a hard process. Be sure to shop around, ask any questions you may have for the shop’s staff and find someone you’re comfortable with. If you continue to communicate your needs and concerns with your groomer, you and your pet should always leave happy and confident.

NO BARK ABOUT IT...

THE BEST IN TOWN!



Repertory Theater Of Iowa: Classic Theater for Contemporary Audiences

In 2004, Repertory Theater of Iowa was founded with a mission to establish central Iowa’s first resident, professional theater ensemble comprised of actors, directors and designers from Iowa. Local theater artists were hungry for an opportunity to grow as performers in their home community of Des Moines. The dream also included making sure every member of the cast and crew is financially compensated for their art and talent. More than 10 years later, that mission and dream is full steam ahead, breathing fresh life into theater classics.

From 2004 to 2006, RTI produced 13 plays in seven different locations. In 2008, the Drama Workshop (est. 1951) merged with RTI in order to preserve its 57-year history of producing classic dramatic works. That same year, RTI opened its first production in September, Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons,” to critical and public acclaim.

Since 2008, RTI has presented a three-play season every September through May. Each year, the residency company members curate a season that is grounded, thoughtful and challenging. In addition, since 2009 RTI has collaborated with Salisbury House and Gardens to produce its “Shakespeare on the Lawn” series and the Terrace Hill Foundation to produce its “Thriller on Terrace Hill” and “Victorian Voices” programs. As of 2015, the company remains at 18 members strong with various talents including acting, directing, design and tech.

RTI is deeply committed to Des Moines’ growing cultural organizations. Currently, RTI is proud to hold the position of resident theater company of Des Moines Social Club’s Kum & Go Theater. Since its unveiling, the Kum & Go blackbox theater has been home to RTI productions “Our Town,” “The Crucible,” “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf,” “A Christmas Carol,” and “Clarence Darrow: A One-Man Play.”

We continue to be supported through individual donations and with local grants from BRAVO, the Iowa Arts Council, the Principal Financial Group, Miller Mechanical Specialties Inc., and the Iowa Foundation for the Environment, Education and the Arts.

You can catch our newest show, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” running April 10-26 at our home in Des Moines Social Club’s Kum & Go Theater. We’ll then be partnering with the Salisbury House this summer for our Shakespeare On The Lawn series with “Much Ado About Nothing,” running June 11-14. Bring a picnic basket and share some laughs with us!

Owner: Kim Baer Address: 838 Fifth Ave., Des Moines, Iowa 50309 Hotline: 515-INJURED Phone: 515-279-2000 Fax: (515) 279-2137

Unfortunately, most people dread calling an attorney for legal help. Usually this is because they are afraid of a large legal bill or that the attorney will not understand or really care about what the client is going through. At the Baer Law Office, the attorneys understand that they are in the service industry. They understand that if a client hires them to work on a case or a claim they are on the client’s team. Kim Baer understands that clients are customers who want to be treated with compassion but also want to understand the legal process and their legal options so they can make an informed decision. The Baer Law Office was recently voted as one of the Best Law Firms in Des Moines in Cityview’s recent Best of Des Moines 2015 readers’ poll.

The Baer Law Office also offers free thirty minute consultations to new clients. They do this so they can listen to the client’s needs and give the client an estimate of legal costs before the law firm is hired. Often the project might be charged as a flat fee. For example, the attorneys at the Baer Law Office are able to set up a simple will at a flat fee starting at $400 or set up a Limited Liability Company for a flat fee starting at $350. They also offer a flat fee of $750.00 for persons charged with OWI 1st. The fees and details may vary depending upon the circumstances but the Baer Law Office will try hard to keep the price affordable.

Kim Baer, the owner of the Baer Law Office, has been practicing law since 1989. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa in 1985 and her Juris Doctorate degree, summa cum laude, from Washington

College of Law, American University, Washington D.C. The Baer Law Office has two other attorneys, Maureen Cosgrove and Eva Morales. Maureen has been practicing law since 2009 and Eva just joined the firm after graduating from Drake Law School in 2014. Eva speaks fluent Spanish.

The Baer Law Office attorneys have a general practice in the areas of business law, business litigation, personal injury, nursing home litigation, family law and criminal matters. For personal injury cases there is no legal fee unless the Baer Law Office recovers damages for the client. The attorneys are willing to travel throughout the State of Iowa to meet with clients who need our help.

Kim Baer has served on numerous Boards and was honored to be named the “Immigrant Champion of the Year” for her legal work in the community. Kim Baer is recognized throughout the legal community for handling complex cases that other lawyers have referred to her. She enjoys legal challenges and looks forward to working hard for her clients. That is what makes the Baer Law Office different... they are dedicated to protecting your rights and pursuing your claim when you need an attorney.
