Wrongful Death

Help and Counsel for Family Members During Difficult Times

If your loved has died as the result of an accident in Iowa, you need experienced counsel to help you get through such a challenging period. While no amount of money can ever fully compensate a family for the loss of a loved one, recovering monetary damages will allow you meet immediate and long-term financial needs. It is important to have an advocate on your side who will respect your difficult situation and will build the strongest case possible.

At my Fort Dodge law firm, I, attorney Jerry L. Schnurr, III, have more than 20 years of experience in personal injury and wrongful death claims. I use my extensive legal knowledge and skills to handle the complex legal issues that can arise after a fatal car, workplace or other accident in Iowa. Since 1986, I have helped many husbands, wives, parents and children get fair compensation to help deal with expenses resulting from the deaths of their loved ones.

As with my personal injury practice, my goal is to pursue justice for family members through responsible wrongful death representation. Learn more about how I can help your family after such a terrible loss.

Wrongful Death Benefits in Iowa

It is important for families to know what they are entitled to after the death of a loved one. Wrongful death benefits include:

  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of income and accumulation to the estate
  • Loss of relationship for spouse or children
  • In a fatal workplace accident, workers' compensation benefits may be available

The type and amount of benefits that you are eligible to receive depends largely upon the circumstances of your situation. I have the experience to thoroughly investigate the accident and gain a clear understanding of the damages and those who are liable for providing compensation.

My firm has handled wrongful death claims stemming from automobile and slip and fall accidents, accidents on the job and violent criminal attacks. Regardless of the type of accident, you will receive caring, attentive service during your wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
