Our client was involved in a highway collision in a construction zone reduced to one lane. A state employee merged into traffic, and according to the police report, our client struck the rear of the state-owned vehicle.
The State of Iowa contested liability, arguing comparative fault. Adding to the complexity, a significant portion of our client’s claimed medical treatment related to abdominal pain—an issue complicated by a long-standing history of chronic stomach issues with prior evaluations.
Despite these challenges, Attorney Jenna Cruise successfully negotiated a $100,000 settlement on behalf of our client, holding the state accountable and securing compensation for the injuries sustained.
