611A.54 AMOUNT OF REPARATIONS.
Reparations shall equal economic loss except that:
(1) reparations shall be reduced to the extent that economic loss is recouped from a collateral
source or collateral sources. Where compensation is readily available to a claimant from a
collateral source, the claimant must take reasonable steps to recoup from the collateral source
before claiming reparations;
(2) reparations shall be denied or reduced to the extent, if any, that the board deems
reasonable because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant or of a victim through whom
the claimant claims; and
(3) reparations paid to all claimants suffering economic loss as the result of the injury or
death of any one victim shall not exceed $50,000.
No employer may deny an employee an award of benefits based on the employee's eligibility
or potential eligibility for reparations.
