How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Car Accident in Iowa?

In Iowa, if you’ve been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.  After this period, your claim may be barred by the Iowa Statute of Limitations, meaning you lose your right to take legal action.

It’s important to remember the clock starts ticking on the date of the accident, not when you first experience symptoms or when you start feeling better.  

If you have questions about an accident or injuries you suffered, call the attorneys at Crimmins & Kehm Law Firm at 515-573-2191 for a free consultation.
