DUI/DWI
Your car transports you for all the activities of your daily life. When traveling on Iowa's roadways you don't expect to be in an accident. But car accidents do occur, sometimes causing serious injuries or even death. Car accidents are commonly caused by drunk driving or inattentive, reckless, or negligent drivers. Common types of injuries from car accidents include broken bones and ligament tears; neck, shoulder, back, and spinal injuries; and open and closed head injuries, including catastrophic traumatic brain injuries and skull fractures.

Wrongful Death
Iowa law provides strong remedies if you or a loved one is bitten by a dog or is injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by a dog. You may be able to recover money damages for, among other things, past and future medical expenses, past and future physical and mental pain and suffering, and past and future disability or loss of function of the body. If the accident caused a death, an additional series of money damages for wrongful death may also be applicable. We invite you to take a moment to browse additional information about money damages that we've provided on our
Traffic Violations
Boating Accidents: Being an operator of or passenger in a boat can be dangerous, especially around other boats. Without the protection provided by a motor vehicle, boaters can suffer significant injuries even in a low-speed collision, accident, or capsize event. Boating accidents can leave victims with severe physical consequences, such as severe cuts and lacerations, bone fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and perhaps wrongful death, including by drowning. Boat operators who cause accidents may be responsible to their victims for compensatory and punitive damages. Boating injuries are commonly caused by: (1) boat operators who do not have enough experience or training to operate their boat; (2) operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol; (3) an insufficient number of life jackets; (4) generally unsafe, negligent, or reckless operation of the boat, such as failing to keep a proper lookout or speeding; and (5) other missing or nonfunctional safety equipment.
Fraud
Murder
On February 16, 2022 the Iowa Court of Appeals determined that a murder victim’s family members couldn’t sue the owner of the farm where the murder happened or an employee of the farm. We discuss why the farm owner and his employee couldn’t be sued for negligence.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Business disputes can arise among the participants in a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership. Relations among the directors, officers, and shareholders of a corporation are governed under Chapter 490 of the Iowa Code. Relations among the members of a limited liability company are governed by Chapter 489 of the Iowa Code. Partnerships are governed by Chapter 488 and 486A of the Iowa Code. Each of those statutes contains detailed standards for the conduct of the participants in the business in relation to each other and people and other businesses outside the entity.
Trade Secrets
Unfair Competition
Disputes between businesses can arise in various circumstances. Common business vs. business claims include anti-competitive behavior (like antitrust actions), unfair competition, business interference, and hiring an employee in violation of that employee's noncompete agreement with another employer. We are particularly experienced in business interference and noncompete matters.
Antitrust

Wrongful Termination
Iowa is an employment-at-will state, allowing Iowa employers to terminate employees without cause, explanation, or notice in most instances. But there are strict and clear state and federal laws and court decisions protecting employees from wrongful termination in certain circumstances. For example, you may have a wrongful termination claim if you suspect you were fired in retaliation for whistleblowing, or because of FMLA participation, or several other reasons. We've offered additional information on our page dedicated to wrongful termination law.
Employment Discrimination
Employment discrimination occurs when something negative (such as not being hired, being fired, or not receiving a raise or promotion) happens to an employee because they are a member of certain group of people known as a protected classification. The protected classifications are nationality, race, sex, gender, age, disability, religion, pregnancy, and, under Iowa state law, sexual orientation. Please visit our Employment Discrimination page for additional information.
Non-compete Agreement
Noncompete agreements are generally valid and enforceable under Iowa law. Employees often incorrectly assume that noncompete agreements are never enforceable. So do the employers who hire them even though they know that the employee is governed by a noncompete agreement. That's a dangerous misconception because breaching a noncompete agreement can result in the entry of court injunctions and money damage awards against the employee. If the employee has gone to work for a competitor in violation of a noncompete agreement, that new employer might get sued by the former employer too. So businesses that are considering hiring an employee who they know is subject to a noncompete agreement should take caution when deciding how to handle that situation.

Real Estate Litigation
The legal remedies in real estate litigation cases are many and varied. Part of that depends on whether a government agency is a claimant or defendant or whether only private parties are involved in the dispute. The potential remedies, depending upon the nature of the real estate dispute and the parties involved, can range from injunctions and other types of court orders to money damages.
Construction Litigation
There are two different types of defects in construction defect law: design defects and construction defects. A design defect is an inherent failure of the design of a structure. A construction defect is a failure to adhere to the approved design of the structure. The classification of the defect usually determines which party or parties are at fault for the defect.
Property Damage
Fires and Explosions: Many different events can cause fires and explosions, including dangerous products such as equipment, electrical wiring, space heaters, and other types of appliances; airplane and helicopter accidents, industrial fires and explosions; grain bin fires and explosions, car, truck, and motorcycle accidents; and propane and natural gas leaks. Fires and explosions can cause devastating and even deadly injuries from collapsing structures or flying debris in addition to burns. They can also lead to significant property damage claims and battles with your property insurance company.

Personal Injury
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog bites can have significant and life-altering consequences. Infections, extensive lacerations, disfigurement, scarring, and permanent mental distress can result from a dog attack. Especially damaging are dog attacks on children, not only to the child but also to the parents who may witness the attack and try to stop it and who will also be the primary person helping the child recover after the attack.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Real estate litigation can refer to innumerable types of real property, such as residential houses and property, commercial buildings and property, and agricultural buildings and property. The parties to real estate lawsuits may include property owners, adjoining property owners, developers, builders, contractors, architects, engineers, and government agencies. Lawsuits and litigation concerning real estate can develop in a number of situations, including...
