Serving The Injured Within The Johnson County Community
Iowa City is a vibrant community. Unfortunately, it has its fair share of motor vehicle accidents. We handle cases from some of the busiest roads, including I-80 and Hwy 1 crash claims. University of Iowa area accidents occur frequently as well.
The Johnson County Courthouse on South Clinton Street is where we file personal injury lawsuits. Though our office is in West Des Moines, we are ready to come to you. We can offer virtual meetings or meet in person in the Iowa City area. Our entire team has in-depth knowledge of the local court rules and procedures.
What Steps Should I Take After A Car Crash In Iowa City?
After an accident, try to:
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Call the police to the scene.
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver.
- Take photos of the vehicles and the scene.
- Do not admit fault or apologize.
- Call our office before you speak with any insurance adjuster.
Remember, the statute of limitations for injury claims in Iowa is generally two years from the date of the accident. Do not miss this deadline.
How Is Fault Determined Under Iowa’s Comparative Fault Law?
Iowa uses Iowa comparative fault rules. This means fault can be split between the parties. The jury or judge decides what percentage of fault belongs to each person. The court reduces your financial recovery by your percentage of fault. If the jury finds you are more than 50 percent at fault, you receive no compensation. This law makes having a strong Johnson County car crash attorney essential: we work to minimize the fault assigned to you.
Do I Have To Talk To The Other Driver’s Insurance Adjuster?
No. You should politely decline to give a statement. The other driver’s adjuster works for the other side. They will look for ways to pay you less money. You only need to give them basic contact information. Refer all their questions to us.
