I am sorry to hear about your mother. Unfortunately, it is very likely that the statute of limitations has run, and thus, you are barred from bringing legal action. It is likely that the statute of limitations in Iowa for this smatter is 2 years after the injury/alleged malpractice. Thus, it would have been 2 years from the date of the shot/your mother's death. You are likely 9 years too late.
