Injury Auto Accidents in Idaho

Driving is a necessity for getting around most cities, particularly in Idaho. And like most motorists on our roadways, you want to reach your destination safely when you get behind the wheel. Regretfully, despite your best efforts to stay out of dangerous situations and to observe road rules, the actions of a reckless driver can result in your injuries and other losses. Whether you've been in an accident already or you simply want to be ready in case you are in the future, it's worthwhile to learn more about Idaho's laws regarding auto accidents.

For instance, personal injury protection insurance is not necessary in Idaho since the state does not have a no-fault insurance policy. You need to carry $25,000 in bodily injury coverage per person and $50,000 per accident, according to Idaho law. You also need to have a $15,000 property damage liability policy. However, Idaho is a fault-based insurance jurisdiction, so before submitting an insurance claim, you must establish who was liabile for the collision in question.

For this reason and more, it's important that you work with a Chubbuck car accident lawyer for your case. In order to determine if the other driver acted negligently to cause your injury crash, your lawyer will look into what caused the incident, as well as the surrounding circumstances of the accident.
