Types of Cases We Handle in Idaho
If you are injured due to someone else’s carelessness, contact us immediately. Whether your injuries are minor or catastrophic, we can help you file your insurance claim, gather evidence, find the right doctor, negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement, and much more.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injuries in Idaho. They happen throughout the state but are especially common in urban areas, such as Boise, Meridian, and Nampa. No matter where your accident occurred in the state, our skilled litigation team is ready to protect your legal interests.
Motorcycle Accidents
Idaho’s scenic views and roadways make it a beautiful place to ride your motorcycle. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are common on our interstates, rural roads, and city streets. As a motorcyclist, you have a right to use the roads, and other drivers have a duty to watch out for you.
Your risk of catastrophic injury is higher because many drivers fail to watch for vulnerable motorcycles. Motorcycles can also be hard to control when you encounter potholes or debris on the road. You can count on us to stand by your side in your motorcycle accident lawsuit.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries because they are much larger and heavier than regular cars. Interstates 84, 184, 15, 86, and 90 are major trucking routes in Idaho. Truck traffic can become congested on I-84 and I-184 around Boise, I-90 in the panhandle near Coeur D’Alene, and I-15 near Idaho Falls.
Unfortunately, truckers often speed in rural areas, increasing the risk of accidents and severe injury. Though trucking companies can be liable for truck accidents, they usually fight back hard when injured victims seek compensation. We have the experience, resources, and professional network to stand up to them and seek the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Idaho Personal Injury FAQs
Personal injury claims can be confusing. We have provided some general answers to the most common questions we receive below. Every case is unique, so it is best to consult with our knowledgeable Idaho personal injury attorneys for more detailed information.
1. What Factors Determine the Value of My Case?
You may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other losses. The amount you recover will vary based on the unique facts of your case, such as the severity of your injuries, length of your recovery, and available insurance coverage.
Idaho damage caps limit certain types of compensation, which can also affect your compensation. We are committed to pursuing the highest compensation available.
2. Is Idaho an At-Fault or No-Fault State?
Idaho is an “at-fault” state, meaning you can file an auto liability claim or personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party without exhausting no-fault insurance coverage first.
Multiple parties can share fault for auto accidents, including drivers, trucking companies, vehicle owners, and employers. Idaho’s modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages as long as you are less at fault than the defendant, but your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility.
3. What Is the Deadline for Filing a Claim in Idaho?
The personal injury statute of limitations in Idaho generally gives two years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit. However, this does not mean you should wait to contact an experienced attorney when you are injured. Remember, failure to file your case before the correct deadline will result in it being dismissed in court, eliminating your right to pursue compensation.
Your lawyer also needs time to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a strong case for you. If you wait too long, valuable evidence could be lost, compromising your claim.
4. Should I Speak with the Insurance Adjuster?
No matter what they tell you, insurance adjusters are not on your side. They work for insurance companies eager to pay you as little as possible. Adjusters are trained to twist your words, making it seem like you admitted to fault or exaggerated your injuries.
They may also pressure you to accept lowball offers or give recorded statements that they can use against you later. You do not have to talk to the at-fault party’s insurer. Let our attorneys handle this communication for you. This is the best way to protect your interests.
5. What Are My Options If the At-Fault Party Is Uninsured?
You may be able to recover compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if the at-fault driver lacks insurance. You may also be able to recover compensation from other parties who contributed to your accident, such as manufacturers of defective parts, trucking companies, or government agencies responsible for road maintenance. Our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers can explore your legal options and pursue compensation from all available sources.
