Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Iowa?
In Iowa, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. There are exceptions for some cases, so it is important to speak with a lawyer promptly.
How is fault determined in an Iowa personal injury case?
Iowa follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages only if you are less than 51 percent at fault for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
What damages can I recover in a Clive personal injury case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Iowa does not cap most personal injury damages, but there is a cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages may also be available in cases of gross negligence.
