Best Iowa Personal Injury Attorney

As the economy is slowing down, having adequate auto insurance is the last thing on many people’s minds. We are more occupied with holding on to jobs and putting food on the table. But, as Iowa personal injury attorney Corey Walker puts it in this very informational article, having sufficient motor vehicle insurance coverage is even more important in these hard times to make sure you protect yourself and your family from irresponsible and uninsured drivers.

Walker says in his article that every year, hundreds of Iowans are permanently disabled and killed in car accidents caused by drivers with little or no insurance. What many Iowans don’t know, he says, is that Iowa law requires only $20,000 in insurance coverage for bodily injuries. Given today’s cost of medical care, that does not even cover a trip to the hospital, not to mention follow-up medical care. According to statistics, 12 percent of Iowa residents don’t carry car insurance and 70 percent of Iowans don’t have enough. The situation is worse in California.

What Walker recommends is exactly what I would recommend too. And both of us do not sell insurance. As personal injury attorneys who help injured victims and families obtain compensation for their losses, we have found that a majority do not know that underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage is the only auto insurance that protects you and your family.

I find Corey Walker’s book, “How to Buy Car Insurance to Protect You and Your Family” a great resource for anyone who owns or drives a vehicle. Another important fact Walker points out in this book is that if you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident and the other driver is never identified or caught, your uninsured motorist coverage will provide you and your family with protection. He also points out a recent survey in Iowa that shows for most Iowa drivers, the difference between $20,000 and $500,000 in coverage is less than a cup of coffee per day. The cost for increased coverage, Walker says, ranged from a low of 15 cents per day to a high of 72 cents per day.

You can learn even more about these issues by ordering Walker’s book for free by calling 1-800-707-2552, ext. 514 or visiting this Web site. Corey Walker is offering this book free of charge because he believes that all Iowans should have the accurate information they need to make sound decisions when they are buying car insurance.

I know Corey Walker to be not only a thorough professional, but a crusader for consumer rights. He has represented clients against insurance companies and big corporations for more than 10 years in auto accident, personal injury and workers compensation cases in Iowa. He is dedicated to helping injured Iowans and continues to protect their rights by fighting for justice and their financial freedom. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an Iowa accident, please call Corey Walker or visit his firm’s Web site at www.walklaw.com.
