Determining Negligence After an Accident in Iowa

If you have been injured in a car accident in Des Moines, there is no set formula that a court may use to determine your percentage of negligence. To determine negligence after an accident in Des Moines, an insurance adjuster will investigate the facts surrounding the accident and determine whose carelessness was the cause of the crash and subsequent injuries.

If the adjuster determines that you were partially at fault for the accident in Des Moines, then you may still be eligible for compensation. However, your percentage of negligence cannot reach 51%. If your percentage of negligence for an accident in Des Moines does reach 51%, then you will not be eligible for compensation.

If your percentage of fault is determined to be less than 51%, then your total recovery will be reduced by that percentage. This means that part of your attorney's goal will be to demonstrate that your negligence was much lower in comparison with that of the other driver's.

If you have been injured in a car accident in Des Moines, then the negligence law in Iowa will have a direct impact on your injury claim. Your Des Moines accident lawyer can talk to you about the evidence needed to demonstrate your degree of fault and other critical aspects of your Iowa personal injury claim.
