The Iowa City, Iowa, personal injury law firm of Hayes, Lorenzen Lawyers PLC is well known throughout the legal community as the precedent-setting law firm in the area of medical malpractice.
In fact, Jim Hayes, the founder of this firm is credited with greatly expanding medical malpractice law in the State of Iowa in the landmark case of Speed v State of Iowa. The Iowa Supreme Court ruling changed the law in Iowa with respect to expert witnesses, from the local rule to a national rule. This allowed experts from outside Iowa, similarly educated and experienced, to testify in cases in Iowa, thus opening up the area of medical malpractice. Consequently, this is the medical malpractice law firm to which other attorneys refer friends, family and clients in need of assistance and legal representation.
