Let Our Twin Falls Attorney Seek Maximum Compensation for Your Truck Accident Damages
When you hire our team, we will investigate what happened and develop a convincing case for compensation on your behalf. This process includes identifying the recoverable damages and demanding that the truck driver, trucking company, or another liable party cover these costs, usually through their insurance company.
The damages are unique to each case. Some common examples include:
- Medical Care: All current and future care for truck accident injuries
- Lost Wages and Other Income: Losses to date and diminished earning capacity if there are lasting disabilities
- Property Damages: Car repair and replacement of other personal property destroyed in the crash
- Related Expenses: Any directly related costs, with receipts or other documentation
- Non-Economic Damages: Pain, suffering, distress, and anguish, among other intangible losses
We also handle Twin Falls wrongful death cases. Unfortunately, these are common in tractor-trailer collisions. If your loved one dies from their truck accident injuries, we will fight for justice for your family. Under Idaho Statutes § 5-311, a victim’s spouse, children, parents, and other parties could recover compensation depending on the circumstances. The estate’s representative or heirs can file this type of case in Idaho.

Schedule NowOur Twin Falls Truck Collision Attorneys Investigate and Build Strong Cases
Our Twin Falls legal team is familiar with the area, its hospitals, and even the most common places where truck accidents occur. We can investigate your crash and develop a compelling case to show what happened and why you deserve a payout.
Many of our clients receive assessment, treatment, and care at St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center, a Level III trauma center with the highest rating available in South-Central Idaho, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. If you need care beyond what this facility can offer or are struggling to get the specialized therapies or rehabilitation you need, we can connect you with leading physicians and therapists in the region.
We understand how Twin Falls truck accidents occur. Most commonly, a truck driver acts negligently behind the wheel of their big rig by:
- Failure to yield
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Moving over without clearing the next lane
- Following too closely
- Failing to maintain their lane
While these collisions could happen anywhere, there are several areas in and around Twin Falls with heavier tractor-trailer traffic, which increases the risk of a crash. These include:
- US Highway 93
- Interstate 84 (I-84)
- Blue Lakes Boulevard (US Highway 93 Business)
- Pole Line Road (US Highway 30)
Our attorneys take the necessary steps to investigate what happened, including conducting an accident scene survey, interviewing witnesses, obtaining official reports, working with medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists, and preserving evidence held by the trucking company.
Once we have convincing evidence to show what occurred and understand the full range of our client’s losses, we can seek compensation. In most cases, we focus on holding the trucking company liable. This is because of a legal doctrine that allows us to pursue a case against the employer of a negligent employee. Trucking companies often have extensive liability policies to cover the catastrophic injuries that occur in these collisions.
Our Twin Falls, Idaho, Truck Accident Lawyers Use a Unique Approach to Handle These Cases
Our attorneys use a seven-step process to manage each personal injury case. This process is essential because it ensures you always know what to expect and prioritizes your best interests.
Our relationship begins with a free case review. Our team members provide this consultation to:
- Assess your options
- Answer your questions
- Ensure you understand your rights
- Help you get to know our team of attorneys
If you choose to hire our lawyers following your free consultation, you do not need to pay anything. Our fees are based on contingency. We only get paid after we close the case and secure a payout for you.
We get to work on your case plan right away. This requires us to gather convincing evidence of negligence, liability, and recoverable damages. During this process, we will also develop our approach to your case.
Throughout this process, our lawyers want you to continue your medical treatment and healing from your injuries. Our clients can focus entirely on their care and recovery while we help to:
- File health insurance claims to ensure you receive medical care
- Get appointments with specialists
- Identify the best therapists and rehabilitation facilities in the region for your needs
- Manage liens, if there are any, based on your care
- Take other necessary steps to get you the medical care and support you need
The next step in the case is negotiations. Once we understand your full range of expenses and losses, we can present compelling evidence to the trucking company, its insurance carrier, and its lawyers. This includes documentation of damages and a demand for a fair payout.
We most often settle these cases through negotiations or mediation. Some courts require mediation before they set a trial date.
When necessary, we litigate truck accident cases. If this is the appropriate jurisdiction, we will prepare and file a complaint and navigate the legal process in a Twin Falls County civil court. This includes presenting substantial evidence to the jury and asking them to issue a verdict on your behalf. This could allow us to recover the money you need for your current and future care costs and other damages.
It’s free to speak with us and learn the value of your case today.
Call Us NowWhat Should I Do If I Suffered Injuries in a Twin Falls Truck Accident?
If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a Twin Falls tractor-trailer crash, contact our team for your free case review today. We will assess your legal options for pursuing a case against the truck driver, trucking company, or another liable party. The earlier we know about these cases, the stronger the evidence we collect and use to support your claim or lawsuit.
Trucking companies often hold much of the evidence in these cases, so we must act quickly to preserve this evidence and any computer data that supports your claim. We also need to protect your rights from the insurance carrier tactics that could reduce the value of your claim or lead to a denial.
In addition, Idaho also has a deadline for filing a lawsuit based on truck accident injuries. Per Idaho Statutes § 5-219, you likely have two years or less to file an injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the trucking company or another responsible party. Missing this deadline could mean losing the right to recover fair compensation in your case.
