A: That all depends. Were you injured? Did you receive medical care? Is your injury significant enough to actually make it worth the time and expense involved? Did it require surgery? Did you have a broken bone or just hit your funny bone? Answer those questions and I can answer yours.

A: It depends. Both the towing company's liability and your injuries and damages need to be evaluated. You should schedule a meeting with a personal injury lawyer for an in-depth discussion of this situation.

A: You should get checked out by a doctor. You should then call a member of the Iowa Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
