Drivers around the world get into car accidents on a daily basis and experience various types of injuries as a result. Although Boise is not known for high-speed chases or other over-the-top traffic issues, car accidents that lead to neck injuries such as whiplash are common events that should be taken seriously.
When these types of injuries happen, there are often numerous unexpected expenses. A neck injury has every potential to seriously decrease the quality of your life. An experienced Boise car accident whiplash lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you recover from these unexpected expenses by making certain the right person is held responsible for your accident.
Impact of Whiplash After a Car Accident
Some people try to “walk off” their injuries after a car accident, especially if they think they only suffered a minor neck injury or whiplash. Victims often make the mistake of trying to go about their daily business because they don’t think whiplash is a big deal. What most people fail to realize is that whiplash is a significant injury, in addition to being one of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents.
Whiplash prevents your neck from successfully supporting the weight of your head, which makes carrying out daily tasks difficult to impossible. It also prevents you from being able to fully turn your head.
These effects can mean time off from work, an inability to drive since your field of view is reduced or impaired, and being unable to perform daily tasks at home. Additionally, whiplash is often a delayed injury—many victims don’t immediately realize the full extent of their injury after a car accident.
Whiplash and the Idaho Statute of Limitations
When it comes to a delayed injury, it’s extremely important to be aware of the statute of limitations and the timeline involved in seeking compensation. In Boise and the rest of Idaho, the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is two years.
While two years might seem like more than enough time to seek financial compensation, it will pass by faster than you might think, especially if your delayed injury fails to manifest until quite some time after the accident. It takes time to collect evidence and develop a case, and this process becomes more challenging the longer you wait. An experienced Boise car accident whiplash lawyer from our office will ensure that every detail is examined, including the timeline for your case.

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.
