How Iowa law treats electrical injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

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 Sources still describing a 60-day municipal notice rule are out of date; it was repealed in 2007.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

Directory coverage for Iowa is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
