How Does Liability Work In Idaho?
Idaho is a fault state, meaning that the at-fault party is responsible for paying for damages caused in a crash. In most cases, the driver’s auto liability insurance policy covers the damages.
There are a number of ways that sufferers can recover compensation from the liable parties after a motorcycle accident under Idaho law. Sufferers can:
- Seek compensation from the liable party’s insurance company
- File suit against the liable party
- File an insurance claim under their own policy (depending on the level of coverage)
It is critical to note that on occasion more than one person shares the responsibility in causing a motorcycle accident. When this happens, the funds received from each of the liable parties correspond to the amount of fault appointed to them by the court. This is called comparative fault or comparative negligence. Your compensation will be reduced accordingly if you are partially at fault.
You will be required to prove that the accident was the fault of the other driver or drivers, and you were not at fault, once you file a personal injury suit. The key in getting the maximum compensation possible is being able to prove your actions did not contribute to the crash. This may require an extensive investigation and aggressive advocacy from an attorney, depending on the facts of your accident.

Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions
Why Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer
According to a study by the Insurance Research Counsel (IRC), people who hire a lawyer get 3 1/2 times more compensation for their car accident claim.
Insurance companies don’t want you to retain an attorney because they want to pay out the least amount possible. You get these benefits when you do hire a personal injury lawyer.

The Sargent Law Firm will provide a free consultation, and will charge a contingency fee, only if you receive a settlement or judgment in your favor.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
You may be entitled to receive money for your damages, if you have been injured as a result of someone’s negligence. The law can afford you the right to recover money for physical injuries, medical costs (past and future), pain and suffering, mental and emotional anguish, inconvenience, loss of wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and other losses. You also may be able to recover punitive damages as well. Most people believe that the insurance companies will pay you 3 times your medical expenses for your pain and suffering. This is false. The insurance companies will try to pay you as little as possible to settle your claim.

Most litigants who were hurt in a traffic accident and secure a personal injury lawyer will recoup 3 times more compensation than they would have without an attorney.
