Schedule NowWhat to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Idaho
The first thing you should do after any type of vehicle accident in Nampa is contact the Nampa Police Department to summon an officer to the scene. The officer will complete an accident report that will be vital case evidence. If you need emergency medical assistance, call 911.
If you did not receive treatment at the scene, see a doctor immediately. Seeking treatment will protect your health and create a medical record for your case.
You should file insurance claims promptly. Policy deadlines can be short. If we must take legal action to get the money you deserve, we have a limited time to act. Idaho Statutes § 5-219 allows two years to file most personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits. If the statute of limitations expires, the court will likely bar your case.
If you cannot sue, you lose your leverage over the insurance company and could end up with a denied claim or reduced settlement and no option for legal recourse. Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers can start working for you as soon as you call so this does not happen.
