Frequently Asked Questions
Not every accident requires an attorney. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex. Your attorney will build your case, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability.
Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees when you hire The Advocates.
Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. You will not pay us unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
Your Team of Iowa Advocates
The Advocates are not just personal injury attorneys. When The Iowa Advocates take your case, you get an entire team that will see your claim through to the very end. Your team will be there for you every step of the way to answer your questions, explain the claims process, contact medical and insurance providers, and make sure you obtain the settlement you deserve.

Caity Jones | Salt Lake City, UT
I completely wish I could add stars. Mandy and her team went up and beyond to get my case handled. I was completely hopeless and ready to give up my career and my goals because of my accident. She got me in touch with amazing doctors and continued to touch base with me. Her professional, caring touch and her power house of a team made me able to have a future and many more goals are in reach. Thank you so much to everyone at The Advocates!!!!
At first I was trying to go through my case on my own but it became overwhelming. Once I had Mandy and her team helping me I felt so much better knowing I had the right help and the right people helping me! Super professional and clear on what is needed on your behalf.

When Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Iowa?
It’s true that not every accident requires an attorney. However, if you experienced serious injuries and property damage, an Iowa personal injury lawyer can help.
After an accident, you may be able to seek compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral expenses (in the case of wrongful death)
However, if you attempt to settle your case on your own, you may be leaving money on the table. Many insurance companies actively fight to avoid offering you a fair settlement.
The Advocates have more than 30 years of experience negotiating with insurance providers. We can tell you what your personal injury case is worth, and fight to make these multi-million dollar corporations pay you fairly.
