I Can’t Say Enough Good Things
I can’t say enough good things about LaMarca Law Group and especially my attorney, Chad. He helped me through a very complex car accident case where the insurance company was clearly playing games and refusing to offer a fair settlement. Chad was willing to take on my case when others wouldn’t, and he fought hard from start to finish to make sure I was treated fairly. He was knowledgeable, persistent, and truly had my best interests in mind. Chad achieved the best possible outcome. I highly recommend LaMarca Law Group to anyone dealing with a serious accident or difficult insurance situation.

I walked away with a better settlement!
I was recommended to LaMarca Law after being involved in an accident that left my car totaled and myself in need of months of chiropractic treatment. Chad Knapp was a pleasure to work with. He did a wonderful job keeping me updated and informed on my case throughout the entire process, and I got to focus on getting better instead of the back-and-forth with insurance adjusters. Plus, I walked away with a better settlement than I was expecting! Would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thanks to Andy, I was victorious.
After nearly 16 months of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and massage therapy, I was referred to Andy Heiting-Doane with LaMarca Law Group. I am so thankful for that referral. From the start, Andy said my case was complicated. I had pre-existing conditions, a less-than-ideal police report of the cars involved in the accident, and no witness statements. However, I did have the fact that the accident was clearly not my fault as I was the victim of two other speeding and irresponsible drivers. Nonetheless, Andy was confident he could help me. His confidence gave me hope, something I had lost.
Andy and his team were organized, supportive, and patient with my questions every step of the way. My case was settled 34 months after the accident. Andy prepared me well for deposition and was fantastic in mediation. I was certainly glad he was on my side… he was pointed and effective. The settlement was much larger than I was offered from the other insurance companies myself. Most importantly to me, I was no longer the victim. Thanks to Andy, I was victorious. Just wish I had contacted him sooner.

I knew I had made the right decision
August 2023 I was involved in a car accident as I was hit by a reckless and dangerous motorcyclist weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds; best part, he was UNINSURED. The accident that day drastically and instantly affected my career and my abilities to perform at peak levels; my world was turned upside down. I was advised by a dear friend to seek counsel, and she suggested I meet with Andy of LaMarca Law Firm. I had never in my 50+ years of life been in a car accident resulting in personal injury and I did not know what to expect. From the moment I sat down across the table from Andy, I knew I had made the right decision. He made me feel confident that if I followed their wise counsel, documented everything and demonstrated patience, I would have a strong case. After nearly 2 years of physical therapy and other medical treatments, lots of documentation tracking my day-to-day ups and downs, and many financial spreadsheets shared showing my loss of income based on my injuries caused by that man's reckless driving, my case has closed successfully awarding me with a very fair settlement that was finalized in mediation and did not need to go to court. Of course, I would have preferred to have never been the victim of this situation, I am relieved today to have chosen LaMarca a few days after the accident to ensure that my full coverage insurance policy paid me what I was owed for affording full coverage car insurance. I recommend LaMarca Law Firm to anyone out there in Iowa needing peace of mind if you should ever be in such a situation. You will not regret your decision.

Professional and Personal Representation
Driving in the city with young people learning how to drive has placed my husband and me in two different vehicular accidents with two totaled vehicles. In both accidents, we were not at fault. The first accident, we maneuvered through on our own, and it was difficult.
The second accident, we called upon the LaMarca Law Group to represent us. Our attorney Chad Knapp was thorough and made sure we understood all that was happening with the process and final settlement. He took the stress off us, which gave me the much-needed time to heal. Professional and personal describes the way we were treated. We are truly grateful and highly recommend the LaMarca Law Group.

Ryan relieved my stress
I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Nixon after my car accident. He worked very hard and took so much stress off my shoulders. We were even able to get enough money to pay my debts off that accumulated after losing work. Words cannot express how thankful I am for all he has done. 10/10 I would recommend Ryan every time!

Best decision ever!
I was in two accidents within three weeks. Trying to deal with them on my own wasn’t going very well. Someone referred me to Andy at LaMarca. I called a little before noon one day; ten minutes later, I was sitting across from Andy and Barb. Best decision ever! All the insurance calls quit and medical issues were dealt with. Every time I had a question, either Andy or Barb answered immediately. My only regret is I didn’t contact them a month earlier!

He handled EVERYTHING!
I was injured in a motor vehicle accident by an uninsured motorist who ran a stop sign on January 26th, 2024. I suffered a cracked sternum and a broken clavicle to go along with the total wreckage of my car. I was very lucky to be alive and I am thankful for that. What I am also thankful for was finding LaMarca Law Group and especially Tyler Ernst, the attorney who took my case. Although the at-fault party was not insured, I was not aware of having uninsured motorist coverage. Tyler assured me that he would handle everything and get me the limits of what my insurance covered. He kept me informed throughout the whole process and explained exactly how everything would go down. Returned every phone call and was extremely professional. He handled EVERYTHING! I didn’t have to deal with my insurance or medical bills. He really made what was a very bad situation very manageable. He got me more than what I was expecting and I am extremely grateful for that. I highly recommend LaMarca Law Group and Tyler Ernst. Thank you for everything!

You may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The specific damages depend on your situation and the accident's circumstances.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Many car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typically, they'll take a percentage of the settlement or award as their fee.
Do I need to see a doctor even if I feel fine?
Yes, it's advisable to see a doctor immediately after an accident. Some injuries may not be apparent right away. A medical evaluation documents your condition and ensures prompt treatment if needed.
What if the other driver is uninsured?
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still recover damages through your insurance, especially if you have uninsured motorist coverage. Consulting a lawyer can help you explore your options.
