The short answer is "Yes." Even if you are found to be partially
at-fault for the accident that caused your injuries, you may still be
able to pursue compensation. This is because Iowa is one of several states
that follow the "Comparative Fault" law, which allows individual's
to recover compensation for accidents in which they are less than 50%
responsible. However, your settlement may be reduced according to your
level of responsibility. For example, if you were found to be 10% at fault
for a car accident, your settlement may be reduced by 10%. If you aren't
sure how responsible you were for your accident, reach out to our team
