In this episode of The Biker Rebellion Podcast, The Biker Lawyers discuss the discovery process in personal injury lawsuits and common tactics that the other side's legal team will try to use to trip you up!
More important info:
As a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit in Iowa, it's important to remember that the other side, the defendant, and their lawyers may try to use different tactics to sway the outcome of your case. One of the most important aspects of a personal injury lawsuit is the discovery process. This is when both sides exchange information and evidence about the case. The defendant's lawyers will be looking for any information that can weaken your case, so it's important to be prepared.
Here are some do's and don'ts to help you navigate the discovery process and avoid falling into the defendant's traps:
- Do: provide truthful and accurate information. Always tell the truth, even if it's not favorable to your case. This will prevent the other side from accusing you of perjury.
- Don't: volunteer information that is not asked for. Stick to the questions that are asked and don't offer up any additional information that can be used against you.
- Do: document everything related to your case. Take photos, record videos, and collect witness statements. This evidence will be crucial in proving your claim.
- Don't: destroy or alter evidence. This is against the law and can result in serious consequences.
- Do: communicate effectively with your lawyer. Be honest about everything related to your case and let them know if anything changes.
- Don't: communicate with the other side's lawyers without your lawyer present. They may try to trick you into saying something that can be used against you.
Remember, the discovery process is a crucial part of your case. By following these do's and don'ts, you can avoid falling into the defendant's traps and strengthen your personal injury lawsuit.

After a recent episode of The Biker Rebellion featuring how to handle interactions with law enforcement officers when pulled over, one viewer asked us to clarify Iowa's gun laws. In this episode, we'll do just that.
From breaking down exactly how gun permit laws differ from state to state, to discussing if it's okay to bring a gun into a business, we'll help you understand your rights while navigating Iowa's gun laws.
Here are 5 things you MUST remember if you get pulled over! When you've been a lawyer for almost 40 years, you pick up a few tips. Pete Leehey is ready to share them. When a police officer stops you, the first thing you need to do is make a judgment call on whether you're in a situation where if you behave a certain way, you may well get a break. Alternatively, if you don't think that's going to happen, you may need to go into immediate protect yourself mode. We have two different potential scenarios here: friendly cop and unfriendly cop. The friendly cop may let you off with a warning. The unfriendly one, well… that’s what this episode is all about! It's not always cops vs bikers, but when it is, know your rights!

The Truth about Proposed Iowa Legislation (HSB 114) Be concerned when politicians want to take away your rights. Be even more concerned when they try to convince you it’s a good idea. Hit the panic button when they use deception and manipulation to try and get their way. Article overview (TL;DR)
- Proposed Iowa legislation HSB 114 limits the rights of citizens to recover more than $1 million in noneconomic damages in lawsuits against commercial trucking companies in Iowa.
- Noneconomic damages are related to quality of life, such as permanent injury or loss of a loved one.
- "Nuclear verdicts" over $1 million in Iowa are rare and only awarded when necessary.
- The legislation is pushed by politicians and trucking executives to benefit the trucking industry and lower their insurance coverage, saving money.
- This tradeoff could have devastating effects on families affected by accidents with commercial trucks.
- Call your Iowa legislator to express opposition to the legislation at (515)281-3221.
