Voted Best Personal Injury Lawyers and Best Law Firm in Des Moines
VanDerGinst Law was voted “Best Law Firm in Des Moines” in the CityView “Best of” Survey and was selected “Best Personal Injury Lawyers” in the Des Moines People’s Choice Awards.
VanDerGinst Law is nationally renowned and consistently recognized as one of the best personal injury law firms in the country. These awards and recognitions are wonderful but only because they underscore our commitment to excellence for the benefit of our clients.
These recognitions reflect what matters most: real results for real Des Moines injury victims, especially those hurt in car accidents caused by negligent drivers.
We recover millions of dollars each year for injury victims. We generate new results every week. Our posted lists illustrate a small sampling of recent results. Every case is different. So, we cannot promise the same results for each case. But we DO promise to use every effort to get you the best results possible for your case.
Our client was riding a motorcycle when a large drum fell off a truck and took the rider out. They suffered many major injuries and as a result had several surgeries. Due to this accident the motorcyclist will never be the same nor will they be able to ride a motorcycle again.
Our client was pulled off the road, on the side of the highway and slammed into by a semi. Broken arm broken vertebrae and facial fractures.
$2.5 million for family of man who suffered spinal injuries in a trucking accident but died from an unrelated cause several months after the accident.
In addition to glowing reviews from hundreds of clients, we have a real connection with the Des Moines community which includes sponsorships of local charities and community events.

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, here’s what to do right away, if you can do so safely:
What NOT to do:
If you were injured and the accident was not your fault (and even if it was partially your fault), speaking with a personal injury lawyer is strongly recommended. Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts, even in clear cases. A lawyer protects your rights, handles the insurance company, and often recovers significantly more compensation than individuals obtain on their own.
Initiating contact with a Des Moines personal injury lawyer directly after your medical assessment is vital. Timely legal consultation ensures proper claim evaluation and preservation of important evidence, with VanDerGinst Law bolstering your case’s foundation.
Every case is different. The value depends on factors such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and whether the injury has long-term effects. We can discuss these factors and give you an honest assessment of the types of compensation you may be entitled to recover. A WORD OF WARNING- Any attorney tell you an exact value on your case after a brief consultation is either incompetent, dishonest or delusional. A full investigation of liability, damages and insurance coverage is necessary to give a true evaluation.
You are not required to give a recorded statement, and doing so can harm your claim. Insurance adjusters may sound helpful, but their job is to limit what they pay. It’s best to speak with a lawyer first so your rights and your case value are protected from the start.
Filing a lawsuit isn’t always required for personal injury claims in Des Moines. Nevertheless, demonstrating trial readiness can motivate improved settlement offers. VanDerGinst Law is committed to assertively representing your interests in negotiations and in court.
Iowa law sets strict deadlines for filing injury claims, known as statutes of limitation. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to compensation entirely. Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible helps ensure important deadlines are not missed.
While most Des Moines personal injury claims are resolved pre-trial, VanDerGinst Law prepares every case for trial to ensure optimal outcomes, enhancing settlement possibilities during negotiations.
There is no upfront cost. VanDerGinst Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your consultation is free, and there are no hourly fees. Additionally, we advance all costs which may be necessary to pursue your case. So, you are never out of pocket a dime!
Yes. We regularly help clients from across the country. We can meet in person or handle your case remotely, whichever is more convenient for you.
Seek medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor. If possible, document the scene, exchange information, and avoid discussing fault with the other driver or the insurance company. Contacting a personal injury lawyer early can help protect your claim and prevent costly mistakes.
In Des Moines, the liable individual should cover your reasonable and necessary medical treatments. VanDerGinst Law works hard to ensure all your medical and related costs are fully reimbursed by the at-fault party.
Even if the responsible party doesn’t have insurance or significant assets, you still have options for compensation:
In Des Moines, ‘pain and suffering’ spans both your physical pain and mental anguish stemming from the incident. Our team at VanDerGinst Law strives to ensure thorough acknowledgment and compensation for these aspects.
Des Moines Car Accident Lawyers Who Know How Insurance Companies Operate
Car accidents are the most common — and most aggressively defended — injury cases in Iowa. Insurance companies move fast after a crash, often before you even know the full extent of your injuries. That is so they can get innocent victims to agree to accept low ball offers before they hire a good lawyer.
Unlike some other law firms, we NEVER represent the interests of insurance companies. Our allegiance is ALWAYS to the injured victim. That way we never have a conflict of interest due to serving two masters. But some of our attorneys and staff have worked in that area before. So, we know how they think, how they strategize. We use that information to help our clients get the best results.

Our record-breaking recoveries across various types of injury cases have earned us nationwide recognition for excellence in personal injury law.
