• Thousands of people in Iowa are injured or killed
  in car accidents every year. Whether the cause of
  the collision was due to a drivers mistake or
  just plain negligence, the result will most
  likely be the same. The most minor car accidents
  may result in extensive injuries, including
  broken bones, neck and back injuries, brain
  trauma, or even death.
• Being involved in a car accident can completely
  alter the course of your life. If you or someone
  close to you has been hurt in a car accident
  caused by someone elses negligence, you may be
  able to rely on the legal system to obtain the
  money you need to pay for the costs of your
  injury. When another partys irresponsible
  behavior causes a car accident that injures you,
  you could be entitled to financial compensation.

Iowa is one of the many states that has a rule
about which driver is at fault in order to claim
damages for insurance. To file a successful
claim, a driver must establish that the other
driver was at fault for their car accident and
injuries. The standard is to use a modified
comparative fault system. The person who is
seeking compensation must demonstrate that the
other party was more at fault in order to obtain
a certain percentage of compensation and
damages. For example, damages are reduced by the
appropriate percentage of fault. If a person is
25 at fault for a car accident, they would only
receive 75 in compensation for their bills and
property damage.

Driving a motor vehicle is not a right, it is
considered a privilege. Drivers have a legal
responsibility to, to drive safely and in
accordance with traffic laws as well as respect
other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. If a
car accident occurs due to negligence, driving
under the influence of a controlled substance, or
because the operator was driving in a reckless
manner, the responsible party can be held liable
in a civil court for injuries, losses, and
expenses that you have sustained. Car accidents
are a leading cause of injuries in the U.S. The
metropolitan area around Des Moines tallies a
startling number of accidents each and every day.
The Iowa Department of Transportation keeps
careful track of accidents in order to identify
problems and come up with helpful solutions. In
the past couple of years, the number of deaths
went down with 355 fatal accidents in 2016 and
301 in 2017 in Iowa. However, the number of
crashes stayed about the same, with 54,400
accidents on average from 2014-2017. The number
of injuries went down from 19,246 in 2016 to
18,705 in 2017.
