No Fees Unless We Win Your Case
Known as the fastest-growing city in Idaho, Meridian has many benefits. It is the second largest city in the state, behind Boise. Growth is excellent, but it can also bring many challenges. One of those challenges is injured individuals. When you suffer an injury, you are battling your physical recovery. While you handle that, let a Meridian personal injury lawyer from Andrew Injury Law take the legal aspect of your injury. We will work to get you the compensation you deserve from negligent parties.
As Meridian continues to grow, more people will hit the roads. With more cars comes more commuters, increasing collisions. A high percentage of personal injury claims in Meridian involve car accident claims. Car accidents can change your life forever. Injuries can range from broken bones to paralysis. Since car accidents have a wide range of consequences, all cases deserve an individual approach. Our Meridian personal injury lawyer will review your car accident and craft a custom strategy to seek compensation.
With so many beautiful views and open roads, it is no wonder why motorcycles are a popular mode of transportation. Bikers have the same right to use the roads as other vehicles. Unfortunately, accidents can happen that can lead to permanent injuries. Driver error is a significant contributing factor in motorcycle accidents. They will not check blind spots or be alert of smaller vehicles around them. This inattention can change your life. Hold these drivers responsible by speaking to a Meridian personal injury lawyer.
Similar to motorcycle accidents, cyclists have many of the same dangers. The critical difference is the size difference from a motorcycle to a bicycle. Idaho has a yield-as-stop law which means cyclists can move freely throughout Meridian. You can cycle anywhere around town. Sadly, motorists are inattentive and can cause collisions. Debilitating injuries and death are typical results of these accidents. Andrew Injury Law believes this is unacceptable. That is why we strive to fight for compensation for our clients.
Commercial vehicles are prevalent in Meridian. While many truckers are safe and attentive on the road, many are not. When a truck driver is negligent, it endangers everyone on the road. Sometimes the truck company will push drivers to make deliveries faster. When this happens, people will suffer injuries and can die. You must speak to a Meridian personal injury lawyer for options.
Another factor that can lead to a truck accident is a lack of maintenance or a defective part. A manufacturer or mechanic can be responsible when that is a contributing factor. This will further complicate your case. You need someone with experience handling the nuances of these cases.
The most vulnerable in Meridian are pedestrians. There is no vehicle or protective gear that can protect you from suffering an injury. While other road users have bikes, cars, or trucks to protect them, you have nothing. That is one of the reasons why these accidents are among the worst. As a walkable city, you should be safe, but drivers make it dangerous. The most hazardous areas are crosswalks where drivers are making left turns.
Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that is confusing for victims. Many of these claims involve slip and falls in stores and businesses. What makes these claims complicated is your status on the property. There are three classifications: invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Business owners owe you a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe. That duty alters depending on your status. Property owners will either argue your status or the severity of your injuries. Let our Meridian personal injury lawyers fight back.
Workplaces in Meridian should be safe. Employers have a responsibility to provide adequate equipment and training for all employees. They should also maintain equipment and remedy any dangerous conditions. When an injury happens in the workplace, employers have a workers’ compensation policy to reimburse you for your losses.
Meridian employers with at least one employee must have a workers’ compensation plan. There are some exceptions to this rule. The policy is meant to pay for losses when an employee suffers an injury. The injured employee will not lose their job or be retaliated against for using these benefits.
Money cannot bring a person back, but it can hold the person or entity that caused the death responsible. It is challenging to grieve your loved one and handle a lawsuit. We cannot help you grieve but can handle the legal process. Andrew Injury Law understands you need time to adjust to this loss, and we want to give you that space. Our legal team will alleviate your stress so you can focus on your healing.
Our goal is to get you a financial foundation after an immeasurable loss. We can never bring your loved one back. We can hold people legally liable for their negligence leading to this loss. Sometimes these claims also involve criminal charges. We will work in tandem with the state to get the evidence necessary from the criminal component if necessary.
A successful personal injury claim will result in getting the financial foundation you need for the future. You can get reimbursement for losses incurred from the collision and any future loss you will suffer. Compensation is essential when you have a permanent injury or disability. Our Meridian personal injury lawyer will review your circumstances and seek payment for the following:
In wrongful death cases, the damages you can seek differ from those listed here. Individual circumstances are assessed when calculating your losses. Let our Meridian personal injury lawyer take a professional approach to your case.
Finding the guilty party is the first step and the biggest hurdle. It will all depend on the circumstances of your injury. Since Idaho has comparative negligence laws, finding the negligent party becomes more complex. While they are responsible for your injury, they can claim you share responsibility. You can seek compensation if you are less than 50% responsible for the accident.
The circumstance surrounding your injury can help you determine who is responsible. Some parties that can be liable in Meridian personal injury cases include:
Some personal injury cases have more than one responsible party. When that is the case, there are multiple insurance companies involved. That can also prolong the case. To navigate these waters, it is best to speak with a Meridian personal injury lawyer.
Many injury victims are apprehensive about speaking to a lawyer because they feel obligated to sign up for the law firm. You can schedule an initial consultation to determine if you have a valid claim and what your options are. We do not charge you for this meeting, so you take no risks.
Personal injury cases affect your life in many ways. You must take time off work, handle the insurance process and attend medical appointments. Some injuries are life-altering, requiring you to get caregivers, make home or vehicle modifications, and stop working. The Andrew Injury Law team will help you handle as many of these processes as we can. Our primary goal is to hold the at-fault party responsible by getting you financial reimbursement for your injuries.

Most people have never needed a lawyer when they find themselves injured and in need of legal advice. We hear the following questions from many of our clients. We hope the answers help clarify your options and considerations.
You have two years to file claims for personal injuries and three years for property damage. Within that time, you will also first file an insurance claim. Two years does not constitute how long the claims will resolve, only how long you can file.
Many steps are involved in the personal injury process. First, you will speak with a Meridian personal injury lawyer. We will gather important information from you and start your insurance claim. We will investigate and collect evidence supporting your claim. We will negotiate with the insurance company when you reach maximum medical improvement. Many claims will be resolved here.
When claims do not resolve during negotiations, your claim becomes a lawsuit and goes into litigation phases. Discovery will continue where we gather more evidence, take depositions, and continue negotiations. Sometimes cases are resolved in mediation. When the insurer is still unwilling to offer you what your case is worth, a trial date is set. At trial, the judge or jury will deliberate and decide your outcome.
It will cost you nothing upfront to hire a personal injury lawyer from Andrew Injury Law. We work on a contingency fee basis. We will only get paid if we win your case. When the case is resolved, we will take a percentage of the settlement to cover legal fees.
Accidental injuries cause over 24 million emergency room visits per year in the U.S., and many of these injuries are the fault of other parties.
Idaho reported more than 27,500 traffic crashes in a recent year, with over 12,600 people suffering injuries and 271 fatalities. We help car crash victims seek justice.
Commercial trucks are critical to Idaho’s economy, but they also put everyone at risk of serious collisions and injuries. We stand up to trucking companies.
Motorcyclists love the wide open spaces of Idaho, but other drivers are not always careful and can hit motorcycles, causing devastating injuries and losses.
Whether you work in construction, logging, or in an office, injuries can happen. We assist injured workers in seeking maximum compensation for their injuries.
