Helping Injured Iowans and Their Families
I know what it’s like the day everything changes — the fear, the questions, the sense that no one’s really on your side. I built my career so injured Iowans would never face the insurance companies alone. Tell me what happened. I’ll listen first, then explain what needs to happen next.
“I like representing fighters – people who refuse to accept their lives are forever ruined.”

See Tim Answer the Questions Injured Iowans Ask
Don’t trust the first number they throw at you.
Your case isn’t just about the medical bills you have today. The true value of a personal injury claim depends on future medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and how your injury affects your life moving forward.
Every case is unique, and understanding its full value starts with knowing what factors really matter.

Many people worry they can’t afford an attorney—but that’s usually not how personal injury cases work.
At RSH Legal, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
Getting answers shouldn’t cost you anything.
Watch this short video to learn how contingency fees work.
Every injury case follows its own timeline.
Some claims resolve quickly through negotiations, while others require additional investigation or litigation. The right approach is never about moving fast—it’s about doing what’s necessary to pursue the best possible outcome.
We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Watch this short video to learn what to expect.
The insurance company already knows if your lawyer folds under pressure. Do you?
It’s not the ads, the voice, or how nice they seem that matters. Insurance companies care about one thing, how often your lawyer actually wins.
There are four questions that can expose a weak lawyer fast. And almost no one asks them.
Hit play, it’s worth it.
The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better protected your case may be.
Important evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and legal deadlines begin running immediately after an accident.
Even if you’re unsure whether you have a case, getting answers early can make a significant difference.
