Statewide legal representation for accident and injury claims in Iowa.
Navigating a personal injury claim in Iowa requires more than filing paperwork and waiting for an insurance response. A strong case begins with early investigation, careful documentation of medical treatment, and a clear evaluation of liability and damages under Iowa law. Taking a structured approach from the outset helps prevent missed evidence and strengthens the foundation of the claim.
Insurance carriers assess exposure quickly and methodically. We prepare cases the same way. By analyzing fault, reviewing medical records in detail, and identifying both immediate and long-term losses, each claim is positioned with clarity and purpose. Thoughtful preparation supports more productive negotiations and reduces the risk of undervaluing the case.
Throughout the process, the focus remains on disciplined case development and informed decision-making. Whether a matter resolves through settlement discussions or proceeds toward litigation, the objective is consistent: present a well-supported claim backed by evidence, strategy, and a clear understanding of Iowa personal injury law.

At Lawfty, we simplify the process of your personal injury case from start to finish.
If your question isn’t answered here or you’d like tailored guidance after an injury, schedule a free consultation.
Under Iowa law, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. This deadline is outlined in Iowa Code § 614.1. Missing the filing deadline may prevent recovery entirely. Because exceptions may apply in certain circumstances, it is important to evaluate your claim as early as possible. You can review the statute directly here.
Iowa follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means an injured person may recover damages only if they are not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. If fault is 51 percent or greater, recovery may be barred. If fault is 50 percent or less, compensation is reduced proportionally. Insurance companies often dispute fault percentages, which can significantly impact case value.
Compensation may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In more serious cases, long-term disability and permanent impairment may also be evaluated. Proper documentation and valuation are critical to ensuring the full scope of damages is considered.
Iowa law does not require you to hire an attorney to file a claim. However, personal injury cases frequently involve disputed liability, comparative fault arguments, and insurance valuation tactics that can materially affect recovery. Working with an experienced Iowa personal injury attorney can help ensure evidence is preserved, damages are properly calculated, and negotiations are handled strategically. Lawfty offers free consultations to evaluate potential claims.
Most personal injury attorneys, including those supported through Lawfty’s network, work on a contingency fee basis. This means legal fees are typically collected only if compensation is recovered. During a free consultation, fee structures and case expectations can be explained clearly before any agreement is made.
