If you are in a car accident in Idaho, you should speak with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.
Besides having a limited time to sue, sometimes the other driver’s insurance company will try to call you to get a recorded statement. This is not something you want to do and you should get the advice of a lawyer before submitting to any interviews with the other driver’s insurance company.
If someone who has been injured in an accident waits a while before talking with an attorney, they may have given a statement and possibly said something that could be used against them later. Also, sometimes an attorney can advise them to see doctors sooner and give them an idea of the kind of doctors they may need to see.
Furthermore, witnesses disappear or their memories of what happened fades. Surveillance video footage and 911 recordings get deleted. Evidence like skid marks can also be lost with time.
