Christopher Martineau

Christopher Martineau is a founding partner of Law Group of Iowa who focuses on personal injury matters in the Des Moines area. He represents people injured in automobile accidents, semi-truck collisions, construction accidents, premises incidents, boating accidents, and other negligence claims. His practice also includes wrongful death matters and injuries involving unsafe property conditions or recreational activities.

Christopher completed undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and earned Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law. His legal education is paired with earlier professional experience in the insurance industry. That background gives him direct familiarity with how claims are evaluated, documented, and negotiated, which supports his work when assessing liability, damages, insurance coverage, and the evidence needed to present an injury claim.

Before representing injured clients, Christopher worked as a claims adjuster for an insurance company. His current work includes claims arising from car crashes, drunk-driver incidents, commercial truck accidents, construction injuries, dangerous premises, leisure watercraft, negligent skiing, slip-and-fall events, and fatal accidents. He uses his claims background to anticipate common insurance issues and prepare matters for negotiation or litigation when necessary.

Christopher Martineau is admitted to practice in Minnesota and Wisconsin and before the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. His professional experience combines insurance-claims knowledge with litigation-oriented personal injury work. He helps clients understand the legal and factual issues affecting an injury case, evaluate available claims, and pursue compensation through a structured process focused on evidence, responsibility, and documented losses. His approach emphasizes documentation, practical claim assessment, and informed client decision-making.
