2 years from discovery of injury and PFAS connection
Where to File in Iowa
Iowa personal injury claims are governed by Iowa Code § 614.1(2), providing a 2-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Iowa has dual PFAS contamination pathways: Iowa ANG military bases using AFFF, and widespread biosolids PFAS contamination on agricultural land throughout the state. Johnson County farm families have filed PFAS lawsuits in 2024 related to PFAS-contaminated biosolids applied to their farmland. Iowa's agricultural economy makes it particularly vulnerable to biosolids PFAS pathways that are underserved by legal content.
