Helping Injured Iowans and Their Families

I want my clients to feel like they have someone that they can lean on. Someone that is going to take care of the details, is going to take on the legal process for them so that they can focus on other more important areas in their life. Whether it’s focusing on their treatments, or in cases where they’ve had a loved one pass away, dealing with the emotional piece of grief and letting us handle the aspects of the case.

“Many of our clients are searching for answers and find the legal process to be overwhelming. I do my best to give my clients some peace of mind and try to take some of the stress off my clients so they can focus on healing or the grieving process.”

Straight Answers to the Questions Injured Iowans Ask

We carefully evaluate the medical facts, the extent of the harm, and whether the provider’s actions fell below the accepted standard of care. Because these cases are complex, each one requires a thorough review.

Your health insurance may initially cover your treatment, but the person responsible—or their insurance company—may ultimately be required to reimburse those costs. The answer depends on the circumstances and available coverage.

Be cautious. Insurance representatives may use your statements to minimize or deny your claim. Before giving a recorded statement or accepting an offer, consider speaking with an attorney who can protect your interests.

Payment may come from health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, or other available coverage while the matter is investigated. If negligence caused the harm, the responsible facility or provider may ultimately be liable for those expenses.
