Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs
Dealing with a personal injury can be overwhelming, and you likely have many questions about your rights and the legal process. Here are some frequently asked questions that our clients often have:
What Qualifies as a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury case typically involves a person's injury caused by someone else's negligence or intentional act. Common examples include car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, rideshare accidents (Uber, Lyft), and workplace injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Idaho?
In Idaho, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Act promptly to ensure your case is filed within this timeframe is important.
How is Fault Determined in a Personal Injury Case?
The fault is determined based on negligence and liability. This involves proving that the other party had a duty to ensure safety, breached that duty, and caused your injury. Evidence like accident reports, witness statements, and expert testimony are crucial.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Expect in a Personal Injury Case?
Compensation, or damages, can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages. The amount depends on the specifics of your case, including the severity of your injury and its impact on your life.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer for a Personal Injury Claim?
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, personal injury law can be complex. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, deal with insurance companies, and ensure you receive fair compensation.
How Much Will a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Most personal injury lawyers, including Meyer Injury Lawyers, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees, and lawyer fees are only collected as a percentage of your settlement or award.
What Should I Do If I’m Offered a Settlement?
Before accepting any settlement offer, it’s advisable to consult with a personal injury lawyer. We can help assess if the offer fairly compensates for your injuries and negotiate for a better settlement if necessary.
Can I Still File a Claim If I’m Partially at Fault for My Injury?
Yes, Idaho follows a comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, but your percentage of fault may reduce your compensation.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take to Resolve?
The duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, the parties' willingness to negotiate, and the court’s schedule. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others can take years.
