How Our Attorneys Build a Strong Case Based on a Pocatello, ID, Car Accident
Most car accidents occur because one driver acts carelessly behind the wheel, violates a traffic law, and causes a collision. While there are some other reasons a crash can happen, driver negligence is by far the top cause. To hold the at-fault driver responsible, our attorneys must understand why your collision happened and have a solid case to show who is liable.
We understand Pocatello crashes. We know where they happen the most, the common causes, and how to gather the necessary evidence to negotiate or litigate a case.
Some places in and around Pocatello where car accidents may be more likely include:
- The I-15 corridor
- The I-86 corridor
- The interchange of I-15 and I-86 north of Pocatello
- Yellowstone Avenue and Cedar Street
- Pocatello Avenue and East Oak Street
These are all congested, high-traffic areas with a lot of commercial traffic, commuters, and residents sharing the roads. The interstates are also high-speed areas prone to fog and other weather changes. All these factors could contribute to a crash, especially when a motorist is speeding, driving aggressively, intoxicated, distracted, or drowsy.
It’s free to speak with us and learn the value of your case today.
