Attorneys
As we wrap-up yet another summer, the busy summer vacation and travel season is winding down. We hope that you and your family have had a safe and accident free summer.
Did you know that historically August has the most car accident fatalities of any month? Not 
surprisingly, May through October have the highest number of vehicle miles traveled each year and also the highest number of injury car accidents. If you, a family member or friend have been injured in a car accident how do you know if you need an attorney or not? Yes, there are some cases where you do not need an attorney involved who will take a percentage of your recovery.
The following are 4 common signals that you will need an attorney:
1. You were transported by ambulance to the hospital.
While it is not required to prove that you were injured, if you were transported by an ambulance to the hospital then your injuries may be more serious. This is especially true if you were transported and then admitted to the hospital for your injuries.
2. You were taken off work for one week or more.
If your injuries were serious enough that you had to miss one or more week of work, then this is another indication that at the very least you should speak with a well qualified and respected Iowa car accident attorney.
3. You have symptoms and problems that have lasted for one month or longer.
If your car crash related problems have lasted one month or longer, this is an indication that your injuries may be serious. Serious injuries require serious legal help so that you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company.
4. You sustained fractures, required surgery, were knocked unconscious or you were diagnosed with a concussion.
These are all serious injuries which can cause you a lifetime of pain and problems. Under Iowa law you are to be compensated for your loss of quality of life, physical and emotional pain, loss of full mind and body, etc. While you can try to handle a serious injury case on your own, keep in mind that insurance adjustor are trained to pay you as little as possible for your injuries and they are not required to tell you the truth about Iowa laws, your rights or your responsibilities. What happens if the other driver only has $20,000 in insurance coverage which does not even cover your medical bills? What is the process to bring a UIM (underinsured motorist claim)?
