Filing A Personal Injury Claim In Des Moines

Des Moines follows Iowa’s legal framework for personal injury cases, which includes several key provisions. The statute of limitations requires filing your claim within two years of the injury date. Iowa’s comparative fault system means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility in the accident, but you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault.

After filing, your case will proceed through several stages, including discovery, potential settlement negotiations and, if necessary, trial. Our Des Moines injury attorneys work with you through each step, protecting your rights throughout the process.
