Wrongful Death Cases in Iowa

You will have two years from the date of the death of your loved one to file a wrongful death claim. You may be entitled to recover financial compensation for any medical bills incurred before your family member died, funeral expenses, compensation for pain and suffering, for the loss of companionship, and for the loss of vital income the deceased person may have provided for you and your family.

Financial compensation will not bring back the person you have lost. It may, however, go a long ways towards securing a financial stability for you and your family and for providing closure on an event that should never have happened in the first place.

As an Ottumwa / Oskaloosa wrongful death attorney Jeff Smith will apply his 20 years of legal experience, knowledge, and skills to pursue a fair and just compensation for the loss of your loved one. Our firm has helped many clients throughout the area in recovering settlements in both personal injury and wrongful death cases.
