Council Bluffs-Area Personal Injury Attorney on Your Side

Experienced Iowa personal injury lawyer

Your health and well-being are important to us. Our personal injury attorney, Walter P. Thomas, at Telpner, Peterson, Smith, Ruesch, Thomas & Simpson, LLP in Council Bluffs, Iowa, provides you with the professional representation you need to ensure a fair recovery from the negligent party and/or their insurance company.

Most personal injury claims involve individuals that have been injured in car accidents. However, we also represent those unfortunate enough to have been injured in slips and falls, by dangerous or defective products, and even by dog bites. Claims are generally made for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and lost earning capacity.

We represent those with the following cases:

  • Car accidents: Our personal injury lawyer helps you prove the defendant caused the accident and the injuries you sustained were caused by the accident. We fight until the very end to make sure you are compensated for your pain and suffering.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Our attorney helps you better understand the laws that surround driving a motorcycle. Like any personal injury case, we make sure you and your rights are protected.
  • Railroad worker accidents: Should you or a loved one be injured while on the job as a railroad worker, our attorney makes sure you understand your rights and how the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) can protect you.
  • Slips and falls: Falling or slipping on someone else’s property is typically filed as a premises liability claim. We fight to make sure you are compensated for any injuries, pain, suffering and doctor bills related to your accident.
  • Work-related injuries: Know your rights as an employee and receive the representation you need should you be injured while on the job. Choose our personal injury and workers compensation attorney.
  • Products liability: Our personal injury lawyer will do everything possible to ensure you are compensated for any injuries or damage caused by a defective product.
  • Dog bites: Should you or a loved one be bitten by a dog, contact our law firm. We will assist you with your claim.
  • Medical malpractice: Should you feel that your medical professional was careless and as a result of their negligence, you were harmed, call our personal injury lawyer. Depending on your case and situation, the medical professional, hospital or agency running the hospital could be at fault.
