WHEN NEGLIGENCE TURNS FATAL

Types of Wrongful Death Claims We Handle in Iowa

No amount of money can replace the person you lost. A wrongful death claim, however, can provide financial stability for your family and force the at-fault party to answer for what they did.

Our firm handles fatal injury cases across Polk, Story, Dallas, Warren, Linn, Johnson, Woodbury, and Dubuque Counties. We guide families through each step with compassion and clear communication.

Compassionate Guidance During an Impossible Time

Grieving families should not have to fight insurance companies alone. Our attorneys handle every legal detail so you can focus on your family and your healing. We take wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we recover for you.

How We Pursue Your Wrongful Death Claim

1
Listen and Investigate
We start with a private conversation to understand your loss. Then we gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions to build a complete picture of what happened.
2
Identify All Damages
Iowa law allows recovery for medical bills, funeral costs, lost future earnings, loss of companionship, and more. We work with economists and life-care planners to document the full impact on your family.

3. Negotiate or Litigate
We push for a fair settlement from insurers and defendants. If they refuse to treat your case seriously, we are fully prepared to take it to a Des Moines jury.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Iowa?

Under Iowa law, the estate of the deceased brings the wrongful death action, and damages benefit surviving spouses, children, parents, and other dependents. The deadlines are strict, and critical evidence can disappear quickly.

Attorneys Tom Duff and Jim Duff have spent decades representing Iowa families in the most serious injury and death cases. We know what it takes to hold insurance companies, corporations, and negligent professionals accountable.
