How We Help After a Car Crash
When a collision upends your life, we step in with a plan. We deal with the insurance companies, protect your statements, and secure key evidence. Our team gathers medical records and bills, coordinates with providers, calculates wage loss and future care, and builds a fact-driven demand aimed at full, fair recovery. You receive clear, straightforward updates, timelines, and honest expectations so you can focus on healing. If the insurer won’t be reasonable, we are ready to file suit and press your case in court.

Common Causes—Why Fault Matters
Distracted driving • Speeding • Following too closely • Unsafe turns • DUI • Failure to yield
Proving how the crash happened is essential. We document fault so value isn’t a debate—it’s supported by evidence.
Evidence we secure
-
Police report, 911 audio, dash/body-cam (where available)
-
Scene photos, vehicle damage, skid marks, debris fields
-
Nearby video (surveillance/Ring), phone and telematics when appropriate
-
Witness statements and, if needed, accident reconstruction
Idaho Rules
-
Fault: Idaho uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover if your share of fault is less than the other driver’s; any recovery is reduced by your percentage.
-
Deadlines (general guidance): Injury claims are usually about 2 years; property damage about 3 years; government-related crashes can require a notice within ~180 days.
-
Deadlines have exceptions—ask us to confirm yours.
