Motorcycle Injuries

Without a steel frame to surround them and air bags, motorcycles are among the most vulnerable on Iowa’s highways and byways. When a collision occurs, it’s typically the motorcyclist who suffers serious—even catastrophic—injuries. If a careless or reckless driver caused your motorcycle crash and subsequent injuries, you need experienced legal representation to press your claim. Contact Rouse Law for our free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Serious / Catastrophic Injuries

Injured Workers Compensation

If you were injured at your place of employment or while on the job, you may be eligible for compensation. Iowa employers are required to provide workers’ compensation benefits. However, sometimes these benefits fall short and do not provide workers with the compensation they deserve. Sometimes workers are left unable to perform their jobs any longer due to the serious nature of their injuries. Although workers’ compensation cases can be complex, Mr. Rouse has years of experience pursuing justice for his clients.

Excessive Force (Civil Rights)

Excessive force and civil rights claims are not uncommon. From racial profiling to use of excessive force during an arrest, police or other government agents sometimes fail to act in accordance with standards. If you’ve been subject to excessive force, you may be entitled to fair compensation in accordance with Iowa laws. Bring your case to Rouse Law and discuss your situation. There’s no initial consultation fee and no obligation. If you choose to hire Mr. Rouse, he will provide you with the aggressive representation you deserve.
