The True Cost of Your Injury

How much have you lost because of an injury that was not your fault? It is easy to consider only the direct financial impact of your injury, but this would not truly reflect your damages. Instead, we have to consider past and future losses, as well as those that can only be felt emotionally and mentally.

Damages that we can seek in your claim could include:

• Medical costs: In cases involving a catastrophic, life-changing injury, the cost of medical care alone can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your right as a wrongfully injured party allows you to seek full compensation for all of your necessary medical care, including treatments that are completed years in the future like physical therapy.
• Lost income: Your finances could be seriously damaged due to your inability to work while you recover from your injury. We can demand that the liable party pays for all of your lost income, including the income that you will not be able to earn in the future due to disabilities caused by the injury. When factoring in these costs, the value of your claim could raise significantly.
• Permanent disability complications: Additional and miscellaneous costs incurred due to permanent disabilities can be added to the value of your claim. For example, if you need to install a motorized stair lift in your home, then the liable party should pay for those costs, not you.
• Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional trauma, and mental anguish can be more damaging to your well-being than any financial loss. In recognition of how much harm pain and suffering can do to you and your family, Iowa allows you to seek non-economic damage in your personal injury claim.

You Don’t Have Much Time to Start a Claim

Two years is all you have in Iowa to start a personal injury claim. This two-year statute of limitations begins on the date of your injury in most cases. Failing to take any action before that expires will block you from filing a claim later.

In rare cases, a statute of limitations can begin later if the injury was not immediately noticeable. For example, if a Big Pharma company sold you a dangerous drug but it did not start causing unsafe health complications until you were diagnosed five years later, then the statute of limitations could begin on the date of diagnosis, not the date you first took the drug.
