If you have been injured in Ames, Iowa, a personal injury lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Iowa follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you can recover damages only if you are less than 51 percent at fault for the accident. Local attorneys understand Story County court procedures and can guide you through the claims process.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Ames Cost?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Iowa?
In Iowa, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time limit applies to most personal injury claims, including car accidents and slip and fall cases. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
How does Iowa comparative fault law affect my case?
Iowa uses a modified comparative fault system. If you are found to be less than 51 percent at fault, you can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
What types of compensation can I recover in an Iowa injury case?
You may recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Iowa does not cap most personal injury damages, but there is a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases.
