If you find yourself injured or have lost a loved one in a car accident, the path forward may seem daunting.

A Word from Our Clients

Who Is Eligible to File a Car Accident Claim in Dubuque?

In pursuing an Iowa car accident claim, it’s essential to establish that the responsible party, like a motorist, acted negligently, recklessly, or violated laws, leading to an accident resulting in injuries and measurable damages. While motorists inherently owe a duty of care to others on the road, proving this duty isn’t necessary; instead, you must demonstrate a breach of that duty. Examples of negligence encompass driving under the influence, distracted driving, failure to yield, traffic violations, running red lights or stop signs, reckless driving, fatigue-related accidents, and more. Even if you share some fault for the accident, you may still have grounds to seek damages.

Why You Shouldn’t Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance Adjuster

If you share fault in a Dubuque accident, it doesn’t bar you from seeking damages, and it’s crucial not to accept the initial settlement offered by the other driver’s insurance. Avoid discussing your case with their adjusters until consulting with a lawyer. Insurance companies prioritize profits and may dispute your injuries or assert your majority fault to deny your claim. A skilled car accident attorney can help you challenge these tactics and navigate the claims process effectively.
