Estate of Sharon Kahn and Suzanne L. Rowe, as Administrator of the Estate of Sharon Kahn, and Estate of Vicki Hodges…

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court reversed the district court’s dismissals of the estates’ negligence and premises‑liability claims against the State, Fayette County, the County Conservation Board, and the City of Clermont, holding that the heightened pleading standards, public‑duty doctrine, sovereign immunity, discretionary‑function immunity, and recreational‑immunity defenses do not bar the actions. The Court remanded for further proceedings.
