How We Can Seek Compensation for a Hit and Run Accident in Idaho
There are several ways our attorneys may be able to secure personal injury compensation for your hit-and-run collision, including:
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist and Other First-Party Insurance Claims
All standard auto insurance policies in Idaho must include uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Unless you decline this coverage in writing, you have this protection, which usually pays for accidents caused by hit and run drivers. Your UM/UIM policy limits are equal to your bodily injury liability (BIL) coverage (minimum BIL is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident).
In addition to UM/UIM, you may have optional first-party medical coverage or collision coverage. If you have these policies, we can file a claim against them to recover further medical expenses and compensation for your vehicle damages.
If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed through an act of negligence, you need the highest level of legal representation.

Unfortunately, the police are unable to locate most hit and run drivers. However, there could be other at-fault parties who bear liability for the crash that we can seek compensation from, including:
- A driver’s employer
- A property or roadway owner
- A negligent mechanic
- A third-party motorist who did not flee
Legal Action in Your Hit and Run Case
If the insurance companies refuse to fairly compensate you, we can seek damages through a personal injury lawsuit. We must file your case within two years of the accident, according to Idaho Statutes § 5-219. If you do not file your lawsuit within the time limit, the court will likely refuse your case. If you cannot sue, you lose your bargaining power, so do not delay your claim.
As soon as you sign with Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers, we will notify the insurance companies and begin working on your case. Call or complete our online form today to get started with your free consultation.

Schedule NowWhat Should You Do If You Are the Victim of a Hit and Run in Boise?
Drivers involved in accidents that involve property damage, injuries, or death must report the incident. If an officer was at the scene, a report has been made. If you did not call for help at the time of the crash, report the collision to the Boise Police Department immediately. Even if the police never find the hit and run driver, the accident report will be an essential piece of evidence in your case.
Next, you should see a doctor about your injuries if you did not receive treatment at the time of the crash. Follow your physician’s orders, attend all future appointments, refrain from work or activities that could worsen your injury, and keep all your medical bills and records.
Finally, be careful what you say to the insurance company and other opposing parties. Do not accept fault for the crash, agree to give a recorded statement, or accept an initial offer. Consider hiring our injury attorneys to represent you from the outset of your claim. We will ensure that the insurance company does not pressure you, engage in bad-faith tactics, or lowball your settlement.
