The moment they receive their license, Idaho drivers agree to use reasonable care any time they get behind the wheel. This means not putting others at risk and avoiding violations of the Idaho Traffic Laws. As a part of this mediation, drivers may be legally and financially responsible if they fail to exercise reasonable care and cause an auto accident.

Idaho is a “fault state” when it comes to car accident liability. This means that the party responsible for causing the accident is responsible for paying financial damages. In most cases, the liable party for an accident is another driver. According to NHTSA, Human error is responsible for almost 95% of auto accidents, according to the NHTSA. Another 2% are due to vehicle-related issues or other factors that drivers cannot avoid caused.

After the Idaho police department has written up a report, victims typically have a few options to recover compensation which we encourage them to discuss with our automobile accident lawyers An automobile accident lawyer can help with:

• Making a claim through the liable driver’s insurance policy
