Subrogation in All 50 States – Third Edition
Chapter 4 is a state by state overview of the various issues affecting or
relating to automobile subrogation introduced and briefly discussed in Chapter
3. An effort has been made to keep the subheadings for each state uniform, even though some states do not have laws in a
particular area – such as no-fault laws or Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
benefits. This is by design, in order to allow a snapshot comparison of the
relative laws of various states with respect to a particular issue. An effort
was made to include a broad spectrum of issues that automobile subrogation
professionals will run across in the day-to-day handling of their subrogation
claims. This section specifically discusses the state of IOWA.
To obtain the
discussion on all 51 jurisdictions you must purchase the book in print or PDF.
