Do You Have A Permanent Severe Functional Disability? Let Us Help You!
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury to the spine, spinal cord, or brain, and may also include skull or spinal fractures.
While any injury can be painful and cause inconvenience in your life, there are certain types of injuries that cause greater physical, emotional and financial consequences to accident victims. These are often referred to as catastrophic injuries.
Injured In A Car Accident? Let Us Help You!
If you have been in a car accident and are having surgery, the first thing you need to do is talk with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Finding the right lawyer is one phone call away. Over the past thirty-nine years we have filed or settled thousands of claim and lawsuits. We file suit in order to get you the award you deserve.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. We are not a volume law firm with lawyers who take on just any case, but never have the time to speak with our clients. We take cases where there are serious personal injuries, which usually involves surgery. (Broken bones, some sort of surgery, a spinal cord injury including ruptured discs, brain damage, quadriplegia, paraplegia, burns, blindness, deafness, loss of an arm, a leg or an eye or hearing.) This firm is selective about what cases it takes. We are not after volume. We are about doing serious work for serious clients.
Filing A Claim After A Car Accident
If you have insurance coverage, first place your own insurance company on notice of the accident by calling your agent; most insurance companies have a toll-free number to report an accident. Call a knowledgeable car accident attorney. But before you provide a recorded statement hire us.

Injured In A Truck Accident? Let Us Help You!
Finding room for tractor trailers and passenger vehicles to share the road is difficult and often dangerous. A total of 4,136 people died in large truck crashes in 2018. Sixteen percent of these deaths were truck occupants, 67 percent were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles, and 15 percent were pedestrians, bicyclists or motorcyclists. Some crashes involved both a tractor-trailer and a single-unit truck.
Although all vehicles on the road must obey the same rules, truck drivers face several significant disadvantages: wider turn radiuses, larger blind spots and slower acceleration times. Truck drivers also face problems with fatigue, grueling delivery schedules, overloaded shipments, the potential for a heavy load to become unbalanced, and other drivers’ impatience with tractor trailers on highways.
Trucks Cause Significant Accidents and Serious Injuries to Our Clients
Because of a tractor trailer’s size and weight, the potential for causing damage to everyone involved in a truck accident—especially those in a much-smaller car—is great. Personal injuries from a truck accident can be relatively common (bruising, lacerations, sprains, or fractures) or very severe (internal bleeding, damage to organs, whiplash, brain injury, spinal cord injury, loss of limb, or death). These injuries can certainly cause some long-lasting mental and physical trauma. Just as importantly, however, they can affect your relationships with your family and friends, especially as you face the added burden of financial concerns, insurance claims, lost pay, and potentially life-long medical problems.
Truck Accidents Are Expensive. Your Insurance Probably Won’t Be Enough
Bigger than what our clients drive. A lot heavier than what our clients drive. And trucks do not stop as fast or maneuver quicker than a car or pickup truck, the damage is tremendous.
That’s why it’s important to contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible after a crash or wreck. If you are injured in an accident involving a tractor trailer along the highways of central Iowa, Steve Lombardi and Katrina Phillip of the Lombardi Law Firm in Des Moines can help you handle these troubling times. With over 35 years of experience behind him, Steve is well-equipped to navigate the court system and fight the insurance companies that want to pay as little as possible on your claim. With Steve Lombardi and Katrina Philip on your side, you can rest assured we will fight for you and your right to be fully compensated.

Were You Denied A life Insurance Claim? Let Us Help You!
We assist beneficiaries, widows, widowers, children, estate administrators and executors in the recovery of life insurance benefits after a denial by the insurance company to pay.
We have recently successfully resolved a 598.20A Beneficiary revocation – life insurance, claim favorably for our client. This code section voids an ex-spouse’s beneficiary status following the entry of a divorce decree. There are way’s around this, but they are few and very specific.
In another case the client came to us thinking she had life insurance coverage, which was being denied, in the amount of $250,000. Due to our efforts her coverage was in excess of $950,000.
In a third case the widow’s husband who purchased life insurance through his employment was being denied due to the insurance company’s misunderstanding of the cause of death. We successfully obtained the full benefits and at the family amount, which the client was unaware it existed.
These are just a few of the cases we have successfully resolved for our clients.
If we can help you give us a call.
