Our Coeur d’Alene Personal Injury Lawyers Demand Fair Compensation
Being hurt in a personal injury accident is a devastating experience. It may change your life and the lives of those close to you. You may not know where to turn or how to even begin seeking justice and the money you need to recover comfortably.
This is where our personal injury team at our Coeur d’Alene office comes in. We manage these cases regularly, fighting for the money our clients need to cover their accident-related expenses and losses. We do not believe you should have to pay for injuries, bills, and financial losses incurred because of an accident caused by someone else’s bad behavior. Let us hold them accountable and seek compensation through an insurance claim or lawsuit.
How Do You Seek Compensation After a Personal Injury Accident?
Sometimes, you can get compensation after an accident by filing a personal injury claim with an insurance company and negotiating a fair settlement. In other cases, it’s necessary to file a lawsuit in your local civil court. Occasionally, you need to take your lawsuit to trial and ask a judge or jury to award fair money for your damages.
Luckily, with our team on your side, you won’t have to handle the case-building process on your own. We know how to manage personal injury cases, and we can inform you of your legal options.
Getting compensation means identifying who is legally responsible for damages and what amount you deserve in compensation. With our lawyers representing you, we can handle all the steps to pursue compensation after a personal injury accident.
What Types of Compensation Can You Recover in an Idaho Personal Injury Case?
Compensation in a personal injury accident is meant to reflect the expenses and losses you experienced because of the incident and your injuries. Some losses are financial, like medical bills and lost income. Other ways that you suffer may include physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional suffering. While these losses are intangible, they are important and worthy of recognition, too.
Our lawyers can help you understand what compensation may be available in your personal injury case. Some common examples of types of damages we frequently recover for our clients include:
- Current and future pain and suffering and other non-economic losses
- Current and future medical bills and related expenses
- Income losses
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damages
- Miscellaneous out-of-pocket costs with receipts
If Your Loved One Died From Their Accident Injuries, You Can Pursue Wrongful Death Compensation
If you lost a family member to a negligence accident, we extend our deepest condolences. We would be honored to help you get justice for your lost loved one. Under Idaho’s wrongful death laws, heirs and the victim’s personal representative are the only parties who can file a Coeur d’Alene wrongful death lawsuit.

We Can Explain Why You Deserve to Seek Personal Injury Compensation
Sometimes accident victims assume they don’t have reason to take legal action. However, if you were hurt because of another party, you could have the right to recover financial compensation.
When you work with our personal injury attorneys, we can answer the following questions:
- Is someone else legally liable for your injuries?
- Is there evidence to document their negligence?
- What damages do you have?
- Does the liable party have insurance coverage?
- How severe is your pain and suffering?
- Do you have lasting injuries?
- Are there complex legal issues?
Our lawyers can evaluate the entire situation and explain how the legal process might look. We assess your rights, options, and the laws that apply to your case. Some cases we know will be tougher than others, but we fight for fair compensation for all our clients.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee payment agreement allows you to hire a lawyer without any risk. The pay that the lawyer receives for representing you is based on the amount of money that they recover on your behalf. You don’t pay anything if you don’t win your case, and you pay based on results.
We use contingency fees to make sure that everyone has access to a lawyer after a personal injury accident. There’s no risk to you and no upfront costs. We get to work on your Coeur d’Alene personal injury case without taking any money from you. We just need a signed contract.
You can ask us for more information about how our contingency fees work during your free initial case consultation.
We Can Explain How Accepting a Personal Injury Settlement May Benefit You
Many potential clients ask us whether they should accept a settlement offer or go to trial. There is no way for us to answer this question until we begin working on your case. Each case is unique, and we need to understand the circumstances, the strength of the evidence, and the offers coming from the insurance carrier to know for sure.
If the insurance company is making you an offer and you do not have an attorney yet, consider contacting us before you discuss the offer with them. They may not be offering you the money you need to cover your current and future expenses and losses. Our team can help you.
While most cases settle, our Coeur d’Alene trial lawyers will not hesitate to litigate a case if it is in the best interest of our client. We can present evidence in court and ask the jury to award you the money you need and deserve based on it.
Navigating the Personal Injury Legal Process With Our Coeur d’Alene Lawyers
At Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers, our Coeur d’Alene personal injury team guides clients through the process of building a case, filing an insurance claim, and negotiating a settlement if possible. When necessary, we file lawsuits and prepare the case for trial. With our team, you can expect the following process:
Starting With a Free Initial Consultation
The first step in having our Coeur d’Alene law firm represent you is contacting us. We connect you with a friendly team member to learn more about your case. It’s important to let you tell your story. That’s the first step in our investigation. Don’t worry about saying the right things—we know what questions to ask and how to follow up. We’re friendly professionals who have helped many others in similar situations.
At your consultation, we’ll talk about the law. We explore who may be financially responsible for paying you. There are a lot of legal steps, and not every case unfolds in the same way. We talk about the legal process and what things may come up in your specific case.
Each consultation is personalized. You learn about your case and your rights. We also discuss what our representation is like and what you can expect if you hire us.
Hiring Us
There is no obligation to hire our team following your initial consultation, and we understand if you need some time to decide. We make hiring us easy when you are ready. There are no upfront fees. We will ensure you understand how our contingency fees work and we will review the contract together. Once it’s signed, we will go to work on your case.
Developing the Case Plan
This is where a lot of the work happens behind the scenes. Our team will diligently investigate what happened, gather evidence, and document negligence and liability. We also take steps such as identifying the insurance coverage available, documenting your prognosis and future care costs, and determining a fair settlement range for your case based on your expenses and losses.
We provide regular case updates during this time, and we might need to request your help gathering medical bills or gaining access to your relevant medical records. For the most part, we handle this step while you focus on your physical and psychological recovery.
Ensuring You Receive the Necessary Medical Treatment
Medical treatment plays a key role in both your physical and financial recovery. The insurer or court will want to see that you are doing everything possible to recover as fully and quickly as possible. Our attorneys want to ensure you get the care you need to regain any lost abilities and return to your previous quality of life. We ensure you receive medical care and work with your doctors and other experts to document your prognosis, ongoing treatment, and future care needs.
Negotiating for a Fair Personal Injury Settlement
The most common way Coeur d’Alene personal injury victims recover compensation is through negotiating a fair settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. Our team determines a fair value range before beginning this process and then uses that to know when an offer might provide the compensation you need. You have the ultimate say about when to accept a settlement, but we will handle the negotiations for you.
Taking Your Case to Court, If Necessary
When necessary, we will file personal injury lawsuits and prepare the case for a Coeur d’Alene trial. We are often able to settle injury cases even after suing. However, we can represent you to the judge and jury and fight for a fair payout when necessary.
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.
