Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
I'm not sure how it works in Iowa, but in New York and employee generally has no right to sue his/her employer for a fall at work. The sole remedy (assuming there is no third party who might be responsible, like, for example, the person who installed the carpet or maintains the floors) is through workers' compensation.
