Iowa's Liability Law - Comparative Fault
A lawyer can help you determine if you have a claim. One basic requirement is legal responsibility. Although there can be many types of responsibility, such as automobile, trip or fall hazards or others, legal liability in Iowa for negligence is determined according to rules in Chapter 668 of the Code of Iowa, the Comparative Fault Act.
A lawyer can help you understand your rights under law, including the effect of 
comparative fault in your claim. One, two or more parties may be legally at fault for an injury. Our experience handling such cases can guide you through examination of potentially responsible people, corporations or governmental units. We can advise you of the possible consequences of Iowa’s Comparative Fault Act on your claim.
It is important to know that the Comparative Fault Act says it is an unfair trade practice for an insurance company to blame an injured person for a percentage of fault without having reasonable evidence. If you are being blamed and the compensation you deserve unfairly reduced or withheld without evidence of fault, we can help.
