Iowa - What to do when you are in an accident with a drunk driver.
Iowa – What to do when you are in an accident?

Case Type: Motor vehicle Accident, car vs motorcycle.

You really need to think about the answer to that question when securing insurance coverage. Because if you wait until you have an accident, many times it is too late.

Motorcycle Riders & Lower Insurance Limits Are a Bad Mix

A lot of people are driving cars in Iowa with $20,000 of coverage. There are quite a lot who have no coverage. As the economy weakens, many more will drop their coverage.

What is the Medical Term for a Fractured Pelvic?

Our client was a young adult riding a motorcycle and heading to work. An impatient driver heading in the opposite direction, turned left of center, hoping to beat oncoming traffic. He was the at-fault drive. His destination? A convenience store. It is called a convenience store for a reason. Because going there is not a necessity. There should be no rush. She hit him broadside.

The impatient driver was not her biggest risk. Her having no insurance and him having only $100,000 in coverage were. If there was more insurance I would have obtained it. But I can not invent coverage where none exists.

Bilateral Pubic Rami Fracture, Motorcycle Accident
Fractured pelvis

We settled for the limits. Although it will never be enough. Her injuries included a bilateral pubic rami fracture.

Result: Limits settlement. Case resolved.

Fatal Motorcycle Crashes in Knoxville Iowa In Iowa, riding motorcycles is a popular sport, and many inhabitants love riding their bikes throughout the state. Regrettably, these vehicles put riders at increased risk on the road. Motorcyclists are recognized to have a higher risk of life - threatening injuries in an accident, and many vehicles fail to keep an eye out for bikers, resulting in major incidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 80% of motorcycle accidents end in death or injury, and motorcycle riders are 27 times more likely to die in an accident than passengers in passenger automobiles. The legal assistance you get after a family member dies in a catastrophic Iowa motorcycle accident may greatly impact your case, so it's critical to start the wrongful death claim process as soon as possible.
