Call Us NowWhat Losses Can Be Compensated Following a Car Accident in Idaho?
A drunk driving accident can cause you irreparable harm. You may deal with serious injuries that keep you from living the life you once did, or you may be facing overwhelming financial strain because of medical bills and missed work. Our personal injury lawyers in Idaho fight for the maximum compensation you qualify to receive.
While financial losses can be a large part of a settlement, compensation can also cover non-financial losses that significantly impact your quality of life. You may be eligible to receive compensation for both types of losses.
Economic Losses in Your Claim
These damages have a definitive value attached to them and often include medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage, home modifications, and mobility devices. When we investigate your case, we can determine your full range of tangible losses.
Non-Economic Losses in Your Claim
These are losses that can’t be proven through receipts or bills. They include things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of quality of life. We know the means and methods the courts use to determine the value of these intangible losses and will seek a fair settlement that includes them.
Wrongful Death
If a loved one lost their life because of a drunk driver, we are so sorry for your loss. Our Idaho wrongful death attorneys can seek compensation on your behalf for losses such as:
- Your loved one’s medical expenses
- The loss of their financial support
- Loss of companionship
- Funeral expenses
- Burial or cremation expenses
If you’re ready to seek the compensation you deserve, contact Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers. The initial consultation is free.
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.
Schedule a Free ConsultationHow Our Law Firm Proves Negligence
While it may seem clear that a drunk driver has acted negligently, your lawyer will still need to prove that the driver was intoxicated and that their actions directly led to the accident.
We may prove negligence and their intoxication behind the wheel by:
- Reviewing their blood alcohol tests or breathalyzer test data
- Obtaining videos of the event, such as from security cameras, dash cams, or traffic cameras
- Interviewing eyewitnesses
- Reviewing police reports and other official documents related to the case
- Consulting with experts, such as an accident reconstruction specialist
Some evidence may be time-sensitive. For example, if a breathalyzer or blood alcohol test is not taken shortly after the accident, the results may not be conclusive. In other cases, evidence, such as surveillance footage, may be scheduled to be deleted after a certain amount of time. Because of this, we try to act as quickly as possible after you hire us.
Be Aware That Idaho’s Statute of Limitations Is Two Years
In addition to gathering evidence, another reason to move quickly is Idaho’s statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits. You typically only have two years to complete an investigation and file your lawsuit. Whenever possible, we will make sure this is done within the legally required timeframe.

Schedule NowWhat Should You Do After a Drunk Driving Accident?
If you’ve been in an accident, there are a few important steps to take. These include:
- Seek medical attention
- Call the police
- Document the accident by taking photos of your vehicle and of any visible injuries you have
In addition to these steps, you should also avoid doing the following:
- Approaching the other driver without police present. Intoxicated people may be more aggressive.
- Posting on social media. Your social media posts can be used against you.
- Taking blame when talking to an insurance adjuster. Something as simple as an apology can be used to shift blame for the accident onto you.
Then, contact our law office as soon as you can.
Affording an Idaho Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents cost money; you may have medical bills and car repairs to think about, and adding another cost may seem overwhelming. However, your financial situation shouldn’t prevent you from getting legal representation.
Our lawyers work on contingency. This fee system means that you owe us nothing upfront. Instead, you only pay us if we recover compensation for you. Once you receive a settlement, our fees are deducted from that amount.
