“Iowa has an additional very specific bar on pain and suffering damages if you suffered your injuries in a car accident while committing for fleeing from the commission of a felony and are even 1% at fault for your injuries.” That’s right – if you:
- get into an accident
- while you happen to be fleeing from the scene where you committed a crime
- punishable by a year or longer in jail and
- you are even a tiny bit at fault for the accident
=no pain and suffering damages for you! Some legislator bothered to include this. Oh drafters, how you entertain me! Read more at Pain and Suffering Damages in Iowa on FindLaw.
