How Iowa law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Iowa applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar: an injured person who is 50% or less at fault still recovers, reduced proportionally.

Iowa Code § 668.3(1)(a)

Damage caps

Iowa places no cap on non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases. Its malpractice caps do not apply at all where the injury involves substantial or permanent impairment, disfigurement, or death.

Iowa Code § 147.136A

Claims against government

Iowa sets no shortened notice deadline for claims against a city or the State — both run on the same two-year period as an ordinary injury claim. Sources still describing a 60-day municipal notice rule are out of date; it was repealed in 2007.

Iowa Code §§ 670.5, 669.13
