If you’ve been hurt in a wreck that was someone else’s fault, a motorcycle accident attorney can help ensure that you aren’t unfairly blamed and that you have the best opportunity for collecting compensation after your motorcycle accident.
Idaho is home to many motorcycle riders, but, unfortunately, some drivers in our state forget to share the road with them. If you’ve been injured because of the carelessness of another driver, an Idaho motorcycle crash attorney can help you get compensation for your injuries.
The freedom of the open road and the wind in your face are hard to beat, but riding a motorcycle around other drivers can be dangerous. Motorcycle accidents can be some of the most expensive vehicle crashes because riders have so little physical protection.
When you try to secure compensation for your injuries, insurance companies will often try to use the stereotype of the “reckless motorcycle rider” against you without any grounds to do so, making it difficult to get the proper compensation from the at-fault driver and other parties.
If you’ve been injured, you deserve compensation for your medical bills and related costs, and an Idaho motorcycle accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you get it.
Insurance companies do their best to turn a profit, and if that means shortchanging a motorcycle accident victim, they likely won’t hesitate. The insurer may offer you a settlement that in no way covers your medical and property damage costs.
Insurance companies also won’t hesitate to use false stereotypes about motorcycle riders. They’ll be quick to say the accident was at least partly your fault because motorcycle riders don’t obey the rules of the road.
Don’t accept a subpar offer. Let your Idaho motorcycle collision attorney handle the negotiations and cut through the false stereotypes for you.
If your motorcycle accident is found to have been even partially your fault, you’re likely to get less compensation than you need—or none at all. That’s because Idaho adheres to the doctrine of comparative responsibility.
Comparative responsibility holds that whichever percentage of the accident was your fault will be subtracted from the total compensation you’re awarded. For instance, if you’re found to be 15 percent responsible for your motorcycle accident, then you’ll only receive 85 percent of the compensation you’re awarded.
Your motorcycle accident lawyer will perform detailed inspections of all the evidence to help prove that you weren’t responsible.
At Craig Swapp & Associates, our primary goal is for you to get the compensation you deserve after you’ve been injured in an Idaho motorcycle crash. We’ll cut through the arguments and stereotypes the other side will try to use and give you the best chance for success.

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.
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 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 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.
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.
