Interstate 80 in Iowa

Interstate 80 connects San Francisco, CA to Teaneck, NJ and cuts through the center of Iowa. I-80 and I-35 join together, passing through West Des Moines, bypassing Des Moines and splitting up again in Ankeny. I-80 boasts the world’s biggest truck stop, in addition to shopping malls, commercial centers and casinos, and access to farms, tourist sites and colleges off various exits. The highway is a major artery for trucks transporting goods into and out of Iowa and traveling through while carrying goods cross-country.

I-80 is also often the location of serious tractor-trailer accidents, including a 30-auto pileup during a snowstorm in early 2014. Our personal injury attorneys regularly handle claims involving big-rig accidents on I-80.

Interstate 35 in Iowa

Interstate 35 connects Laredo, TX at the United States-Mexico border to Duluth, MN, close to the United States-Canada border. Although running north to south and intersecting the West to East Coast highway I-80, the two major highways overlap near Des Moines. I-35 also intersects the historic Lincoln Highway, now U.S. Route 30. The road services the Des Moines-area suburbs, including West Des Moines and Ankeny, and provides multiple scenic overlooks throughout Iowa. Tractor-tailors haul goods along I-35 to and from the borders and surrounding states.

Serious auto crashes occur regularly on this busy highway. In fact, several deaths and catastrophic injuries resulted from overturned semis, head-on collisions and multiple car pileups over the past decade. Our personal injury lawyers have handled multiple cases involving truck wrecks on I-35.
