Compensation in an Idaho Personal Injury Case

An injury can lead to significant financial burdens – but you may be entitled to compensation for all the ways your life has been affected.

Serious accidents often lead to significant financial hardship. Idaho law gives injured victims the right to pursue compensation for their losses. Every personal injury case is different, and the amount you may recover will depend on the nature of your injuries and the specific circumstances of the accident.

You may be entitled to recover damages such as:

Medical Expenses: Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and any ongoing or future medical care related to your injuries.
Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working – temporarily or permanently – you can seek compensation for the income you lose during recovery.
Loss of Future Earning Capacity: If your injuries have a long-term impact on your ability to earn a living, we’ll work with economists and vocational specialists to calculate the value of your diminished earning potential.
Pain and Suffering: These damages compensate you for the physical pain and discomfort you’ve endured, as well as the loss of enjoyment of life during your recovery.
Emotional Distress: Serious accidents can cause mental anguish, including anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These intangible losses are also compensable.
Property Damage: If personal property was damaged (for example, your vehicle in a crash), you can claim the cost of repairs or replacement.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement: If the incident leaves you with lasting physical limitations or scars, you may recover compensation for the impact on your daily life and future plans.

Our experienced Idaho personal injury attorney works with medical experts, economists, and vocational specialists to calculate the full value of your claim – and we fight for every dollar you deserve.

At Gariepy Law Offices, we help clients throughout Southern Idaho who have been injured in car accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, bicycle accidents, motorcycle crashes, construction site incidents, nursing home neglect, falls in grocery stores, recreational or sports-related accidents, and injuries on dangerous or poorly maintained property.

What to Do After an Accident in Southern Idaho

Being injured in an accident can leave you shaken and unsure of what to do next. The steps you take immediately after an injury can significantly impact your ability to recover physically and financially. Here are some important steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

Seek Medical Attention Right Away: Your health is the top priority. Even if you feel okay or your injuries seem minor, see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries (like concussions or internal damage) might not show symptoms immediately. Prompt medical care not only ensures you get proper treatment, but it also documents your injuries in case you decide to file a claim.
Report the Incident: If you were hurt in a car accident, call the police and make sure an official accident report is filed. If you were injured on someone’s property or in a business, report it to the manager or property owner so they create an incident report. These reports can serve as important evidence later.
Preserve Evidence: If it’s safe to do so, collect evidence at the scene. Take photos or videos of anything relevant — vehicle damage, hazardous conditions (like a spill or broken stair), visible injuries, etc. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses who saw what happened.
Avoid Admitting Fault: Stay calm and be careful about what you say. Don’t apologize or make statements that could be interpreted as admitting blame, even indirectly (“I wasn’t paying attention,” etc.). When speaking with police, other parties, or insurance adjusters, stick to the facts of what happened.
Consult a Personal Injury Lawyer Before Speaking to Insurance: Insurance companies may reach out quickly and might offer a settlement or ask for a recorded statement. It’s wise to talk to an experienced personal injury attorney before signing anything or giving a formal statement. A lawyer will protect your rights, handle communications with insurers, and help you avoid common pitfalls that could undermine your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a personal injury attorney do?

A personal injury attorney’s job is to advocate for you after an accident. This includes helping you gather evidence, dealing with insurance companies on your behalf, calculating the value of your claim, and negotiating for a fair settlement. If the insurance company won’t pay what you deserve, a personal injury lawyer can file a lawsuit and take your case to trial to pursue justice.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Idaho?

In Idaho, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of injury. This means you generally have a two-year window to file a lawsuit. It’s important not to delay, because waiting too long can weaken your case — evidence may fade and witnesses can become harder to locate. Starting your claim sooner rather than later gives your attorney time to build the strongest case possible.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Idaho uses comparative negligence. This means that even if you were partly responsible for an accident, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, any award you receive would be reduced by 20%. We can evaluate the circumstances and explain how Idaho’s fault laws apply to your case.

How much does it cost to hire Gariepy Law Offices?

Nothing upfront. Our personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no out-of-pocket legal fees while your case is ongoing. We only get paid if we recover money for you, either through a settlement or a court verdict. This contingency arrangement allows anyone, regardless of financial situation, to get high-quality legal representation.

Will I have to go to court?

Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiations and settle without a trial. Our attorneys strive to reach a fair settlement through demand letters and discussions with the insurance company. However, if the insurer won’t offer a reasonable amount, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. We’ll guide you through the process and make sure you’re ready if a courtroom fight becomes necessary.

Can I switch lawyers if I’m not happy with my current attorney?

Yes. If you’re not satisfied with your current legal representation, you have the right to seek a second opinion or hire a different attorney. We can review your case, answer your questions, and help you understand your options. You deserve a lawyer who will prioritize your best interests — and we’re here to help if you need us.
