You pay nothing until we win
by Matthew C. Andrew - September 30th, 2024
Every car accident claim is different, partly due to the injuries involved. Whether your injuries are temporary or permanent will certainly affect the compensation you receive, though in either situation, you must ensure you receive the total compensation you deserve.
Allow our Meridian car accident lawyers at Andrew Injury Law to assess the compensation you need to cover your losses based on the severity of your injuries.
Examples of permanent disability from car accident injuries include:
If you sustain permanent injuries in a car accident, you could need round-the-clock care, which is an additional expense you likely didn’t anticipate. Permanent injuries can also adversely affect professional and social relationships, possibly resulting in psychological and emotional trauma. Consulting a Specialist car accident lawyer in Boise can help ensure you receive compensation to cover these comprehensive needs.
Temporary injuries heal with time and treatment, and the difficulties for the injured party are typically less extreme than those of permanent injuries. Examples of temporary injuries in car accidents include:
These injuries can still result in costly losses, even though you eventually recover. Our Meridian, Idaho, car accident attorneys from Andrew Injury Law strongly recommend never underestimating the costs of seemingly minor or temporary injuries.
Under normal circumstances, determining whether an injury is permanent or temporary is impossible until the victim has reached their “maximum medical improvement.” During this waiting period, your doctor can provide a complete report on whether the condition is improving with ongoing medical support and treatment.
When you have a permanent injury, it will likely cause losses for the rest of your life, and your compensation should address this. For temporary injuries, your losses likely have an end date. This can make it more complicated – and more imperative – to properly calculate compensation for permanent losses.
Your overall pain and suffering can be greater knowing you will never recover from a permanent injury. Your compensation should address the fact that your life will never be the same, and this comes as part of your non-economic losses.
The experienced legal team at Andrew Injury Law can look into your accident case and help you fight for the compensation you’re entitled to. Our skilled Meridian personal injury lawyers work with trusted physicians to evaluate your injury’s extent and ensure you are sufficiently covered in the compensation amount you claim.

Matt was very helpful in explaining the law and setting realistic expectations about my mothers case. He listened to the facts and gave solid advice about what to do next. I know his time is valuable and limited so I appreciated his complementary consultation and advice. I will definitely turn to him in the future.
