[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Located in Black Hawk County, Cedar Falls is one of the most populous cities in Iowa, however it is often confused with the larger and more densely populated city of Cedar Rapids. Agriculture plays a significant role in Cedar Falls’ economy, and there are a number of attractions where tourists can learn more about this industry.
Agriculture isn’t the only thing that Cedar Falls is known for—the city is also home to one of the three public universities in the state, University of Northern Iowa. This university has repeatedly been named one of the “Best in the Midwest” by the Princeton Review and is known for its small class sizes and prestigious accounting program.
But, Cedar Falls is definitely not a college town. Outside of the university, there are plenty of fun attractions, including nature trails, museums, casinos, and golf courses. With so much going on, it’s not hard to have a good time in Cedar Falls. But, it’s also fairly easy to be injured by another person’s negligence. Accidents happen everyday, and unfortunately, many innocent people are left with broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord damage, and other serious injuries. These victims may struggle to pay their medical bills, especially if they are forced to take time off of work to treat their injuries. Victims can also suffer emotional trauma as a result of their accidents, which is sometimes more difficult to deal with than the physical injuries.
Fortunately, help is available for those who have been injured because of another person’s negligence. If you have been injured, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The attorneys at Trial Lawyers for Justice will fight tirelessly to help you recover the compensation you need to move forward in your life after an injury.

CNN included Bettendorf on a list of the best towns to live in within the U.S., and residents couldn’t agree more with this title.
Bettendorf has a healthy economy with plenty of opportunities at some of the top employers such as Alcoa, Isle of Capri Casinos, and Genesis Health Systems. There are also several private universities located within Bettendorf and in the surrounding Quad Cities, which are just a short drive away.
There’s a family-friendly atmosphere throughout Bettendorf, especially at the city’s Family Museum, where families can tour exhibits or enroll their children in special groups or dance classes. Parents can also kick back and relax on the Palmer Hills golf course, which features rolling hills and magnificent fairways. The par-72 course was designed by William J. Spear and stretches over 6500 yards.
At some point between driving to work, visiting the family museum, or playing a round of golf, it’s possible that you could be injured. It’s important for Bettendorf residents to know their rights in the event that they are ever injured because of another person’s negligence.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Located in Polk County, Ankeny is considered to be one of the most affluent cities in the state of Iowa. That’s not the only thing that this city is known for around the country. Ankeny was named one of the Top 10 Cities for Families by Family Circle, one of the Top 100 Places to Live by Money magazine, and was designated as a Playful City by the KaBoom! Foundation.
The population in Ankeny is booming. In fact, it was the third fastest-growing city in the U.S. in 2015. This could be partly due to the many recreational opportunities within the city, including the High Trestle Trail, which stretches across 25 miles and is used by over 3,000 people every week. Residents also love the outdoor festivals in Ankeny, such as the DMACC Kite Festival, Art in the Park, and Ankeny Unplugged, which is an outdoor music festival.
There are many ways for residents to have fun in Ankeny, but there are also plenty of ways that they can injure themselves. Many Ankeny residents are injured by careless drivers, property owners, employers, and medical professionals. A simple trip to the doctor’s office or drive to work could quickly turn tragic and result in serious injuries. The injuries sustained in these accidents could prevent you from being able to work or enjoy many of the activities that you used to love. But, you don’t have to face life after an accident alone.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Located in Story County, the city of Ames is just a short drive away from the capital of Iowa, Des Moines. Ames is a diverse and vibrant city that was recognized as one of the best places to live by Forbes magazine in 2010. This title came as no surprise to Ames residents who know how lucky they are to live in a city that is so cultured and full of recreational opportunities. Ames has dozens of community parks, festivals, music venues, and art galleries that entertain residents all year round.
But, it’s not all fun and games for Ames residents. The city is home to Iowa State University of Science and Technology, which is known for its prestigious agriculture, engineering, and veterinary medicine programs. The USDA’s Agricultural Research Service’s National Animal Disease Center is also located in Ames. This center is the largest of its kind and focuses on solving food safety and health problems that plague farmers and the general public.
Unfortunately, even the charming city of Ames has its fair share of negligent drivers, property owners, and healthcare professionals who put others’ lives in danger. Ames residents who have been injured by another person’s negligence may have to live life on the sidelines while they recover. Not only will they miss out on everything that Ames has to offer, but they may also have to temporarily or permanently stop working because of their injuries.
If your injuries were caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Although Uber, Lyft and other rideshare companies have dominated the public transportation landscape, they are still figuring out passenger safety and appropriate company protocols — and unfortunately, riders have acted as guinea pigs in real time. Thousands of Uber and Lyft riders have suffered injuries from traffic accidents due to negligent rideshare drivers. Some victims have passed away.

Common Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents in Des Moines
In a no-fault state, an injured accident victim does not have to demonstrate fault to obtain compensation.
In a fault state, the victim has the burden of establishing negligence. Iowa is a fault state. Although this means you may have to prove someone else’s negligence before you can recover benefits, it also means a better chance of a higher recovery amount. Trial Lawyers for Justice can help you determine and prove fault in your Uber or Lyft accident case.
- Distracted Uber or Lyft driver
- Drunk or drugged driver
- Drowsy driver
- Speeding
- Tailgating or aggressive driving
- Unsafe lane changes or merges
- Poor vehicle maintenance and upkeep
- Sexual assault by a rideshare driver
Rideshare drivers do not receive any special training before receiving permission to pick up passengers. Unlike taxi companies, rideshare companies use independent contractors, not employees, and have lax driver hiring and training protocols. This can lead to dangerous drivers who are responsible for the safety of rideshare passengers. If a negligent or reckless Uber or Lyft driver caused your accident, the driver and/or company may owe you compensation.
What Might a Rideshare Company Owe You?
Both Uber and Lyft have insurance policies that provide $1 million in liability coverage to passengers injured in traffic accidents. If the rideshare driver negligently caused your accident, the company might be responsible for covering your damages. A successful Uber or Lyft accident claim in Des Moines could repay you for several losses.
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage or losses
- Pain and suffering
- Attorney’s fees
The value of your Uber or Lyft accident claim will depend on factors such as the seriousness of your injuries and your prognosis for recovery, as well as your age and income. At Trial Lawyers for Justice, we can review your case for free to give you an accurate idea of how much it could be worth.
