Picking the right lawyer in Pocatello is important for your case.
Here are some tips to help you choose:
Hire someone you trust and feel comfortable with.
Most car accident cases in Pocatello don’t go to trial. Instead, they’re usually settled out of court. This means your lawyer and the other side’s lawyer (or insurance company) agree on how much money you should get without going to a judge.
Settling out of court is often faster and less stressful than going to trial. It also usually costs less. But sometimes, if the other side won’t offer a fair amount of money, your lawyer might suggest going to trial. Your lawyer will help you decide what’s best for your case.
They’ll look at things like:
Even if your case starts heading to trial, it can still be settled at any time before the trial ends.
In Pocatello, like the rest of Idaho, you have a limited time to file a lawsuit after a car accident. For car accidents in Idaho, you usually have:
These time limits are really important. If you wait too long and miss the deadline, you might not be able to file a lawsuit at all. That’s why it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
There are a few special situations where these time limits might be different:
Because these rules can be tricky, talk to a lawyer soon after your accident.
There’s no set amount of money you’ll get for a car accident claim in Pocatello. Each case is different. The amount you might receive depends on many things, like:
Idaho follows the comparative negligence rule, which means if you were partly at fault for the accident, the amount of money you can get might be reduced. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, you might only get 80% of the total damages. Your lawyer will work to get you the most money possible. They’ll gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and work with experts to show how the accident has affected you.
After a car accident in Pocatello, you might be able to get different types of “damages.”
Here are the main types:
Your Pocatello lawyer will help you figure out which types of damages apply to your case and how much to ask for. They’ll gather evidence like medical records, pay stubs, and expert opinions to support your claim.
Dealing with insurers after a car accident can be tricky. They often try to pay as little as possible. That’s where a lawyer can really help. Here’s how:
Having a lawyer can often lead to getting more money, even after paying the lawyer’s fee. They can also reduce your stress by handling all the complicated parts of your claim.
Figuring out who’s at fault in a car accident determines who has to pay for damages. Here are considerations in fault determinations in car accident claims:
It’s important to remember that fault isn’t always clear-cut. That’s why having a good lawyer is helpful.
The time it takes to settle a car accident case in Pocatello can vary a lot. Some cases might be settled in a few months, while others could take a year or more.
Here are some things that affect how long it takes:

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.
Calculating pain and suffering damages isn’t as straightforward as adding up medical bills. There’s no set formula, but here are some ways it might be figured out:
The insurance company should inform you of the reasons for the claim denial in writing, and you should immediately bring this documentation to a free consultation with a car accident attorney. They will determine the best approach to appeal the denial, considering all insurance company procedures and deadlines.
They can present additional evidence to prove liability or your injuries, depending on the denial reason. If your attorney believes you have a valid claim, they will fight for the compensation you deserve.
Insurers sometimes deny claims hoping people will give up and accept the denial. Don’t let that happen to you. Fight for your rights and the compensation you deserve. Further, having a car accident attorney from the start can often decrease the chances of a denial.
In Pocatello and the rest of Idaho, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is 2 years for personal injury claims, or 3 years for property damage claims. These time limits usually start from the date of the accident. If you don’t file your lawsuit within this time, you might lose your right to sue forever.

He becomes your liaison, so you can really focus about just getting better, and though he wont loan you any money, he’ll tell you what you need you need to do to survive if you’re out of work for a bit. Attorneys aren’t cheap, you’ll end up with more if you use one. Heed his advise for the strongest case argument in your favor.

Im not good with my words but i wanted to tell everyone about my experience with Matt Andrew. When i met Matt I came too him with a case that had low chances of winning. It was a very emotionally trying experience what I went through and Matt could relate deeply too it and heard me, he took my case on and gave me a lot of hope and gave me a chance. We came out on top and won the case. He will always be my guy when I need legal council or legal help. If he can’t help he can always point me in the right direction.
