Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Iowa?
Iowa Code section 614.1 sets a two year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. The clock starts when the patient discovers or reasonably should have discovered the injury. There is also a six year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act, with some exceptions for foreign objects left in the body.
What damages can I recover in a Waukee medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. Iowa law also allows noneconomic damages for pain and suffering, but caps them at 250,000 dollars for most cases. Punitive damages are available only if the defendant acted with willful and wanton disregard.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice claim in Iowa?
Yes, Iowa law generally requires a qualified expert witness to testify about the standard of care and how it was breached. The expert must be licensed in the same or similar field of medicine as the defendant. Your lawyer will help find and prepare the expert.
