Understanding Idaho insurance laws is important when it comes to filing a claim for a truck accident, especially if you are wondering how much your Boise truck accident claim is worth. No lawyer can guarantee a specific amount that you will receive from your accident, but an experienced truck accident attorney from Craig Swapp & Associates can examine the details and give you an idea of what to expect.

Some of the details and elements that have to be considered when determining the value of a truck accident in Idaho include the following:

Fault and Claims in Idaho

In Idaho, drivers are required to carry insurance that will cover costs associated with any accidents they cause. However, their insurance may not cover their own costs and will rely on evidence that indicates who is at fault . In other states, the insurance might pay out no matter who is at fault, and without any kind of legal proceeding being necessary.

Correctly Valuing Your Claim

Your final settlement amount should fully compensate you for all of the expenses and damages that have been incurred by your truck accident. This could include all of the following:

We will make certain that any settlement offer fully accounts for what you’ve had to endure. While many cases settle out of court, if the other party won’t provide a serious offer, we may need to go to court for a legally binding verdict.

Why You Need a Knowledgeable Boise Truck Wreck Attorney

While it can be difficult to determine how much your accident claim is worth, we can handle this task for you, thereby ensuring that you are fully compensated for your injuries and damages. We will assess your future medical costs, damage to the vehicle, percentage of fault, and many other details of the crash.

Fault, in particular, can have a significant impact on your financial award. Idaho makes use of comparative negligence, so it’s possible for you to be found at fault for some of what happened. This negligence will be assigned in percentages to the involved parties, and the percentage you are found responsible for will directly reduce your settlement.

For example, if you receive a $10,000 dollar settlement, but are found to be 20 percent at fault, you would only receive $9,000.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
