Tom Fowler Law Firm Explains How Iowa Car Insurance Laws Affect Personal Injury Claims

Tom Fowler Law Firm Explains How Iowa Car Insurance Laws Affect Personal Injury Claims
Tom Fowler, Attorney at Law, is announcing to Des Moines residents how Iowa laws affect the outcome when injured in a car or truck accident.

Des Moines, IA – When an Iowa resident has been injured in a car or truck accident, some important laws affect what will happen after the accident when the injured person seeks compensation for their losses.

Attorney Fowler, a personal injury attorney in Des Moines, advises the public that Iowa is an “at-fault” state.  This means that once the police and the insurance companies figure out who caused the accident, the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying for the other driver’s damages.

Because this is real life, both drivers often have to share the fault.  The Des Moines car accident lawyer at Tom Fowler Law will also advise residents that Iowa has “modified comparative negligence” laws.  That means if a person is 50% responsible for the accident, that person cannot collect anything from the other driver.

But, for example, if a driver is found to be only 30% responsible for the accident, they can ask for 70% of the damages.

Here’s where this becomes important to find a knowledgeable Des Moines car accident attorney. At Tom Fowler Law, the firm employs a full-time investigator to make doubly sure that their clients don’t get charged with more fault than they deserve.  The investigator will check every fact, including the police report and reports from insurance adjusters.
