Car crashes in Idaho are increasing at an alarming rate. According to the Office of Highway Safety in Idaho, 222 lives have been lost in collisions so far in 2023, which is higher than the 215 fatalities witnessed last year. Reports indicate that distracted driving is the number one cause of vehicle crashes in Idaho and across the US. Since Idaho’s hands-free law was enacted, there have been higher rates of distracted driving.
The aftermath of a car accident can take a toll on the victims emotionally and financially. Such scenarios require robust legal representation to help hold the liable parties accountable and recover damages. At Andrew Injury Law, our legal team is ready to assess your case and see if you have a valid claim for claiming damages.

Idaho is one of the states with an increasingly high number of vehicle crashes. In fact, in 2021, Idaho was named the e with the largest percentage increase in road fatalities across the US. These reports raise the question about the cause of so many accidents in Idaho. The most common reasons for crashes include the following:
The most obvious explanation for the causes of car accidents in Idaho is that drivers are likely distracted. Indeed, the allure of smartphones, navigation systems, and other in-car technologies often diverts drivers’ attention from the road. The consequences may be dire since split-second distractions can lead to life-altering accidents.
Drivers in Idaho are legally required to drive at a reasonable speed and according to the current conditions. However, some of them succumb to the temptation to push the accelerator beyond legal limits. Speeding not only jeopardizes the driver’s safety but also puts other road users at significant risk. Speeding vehicles can easily lose control, causing high-velocity collisions.
While Idaho embraces a culture of responsible living, instances of impaired driving persist. The influence of drugs and alcohol increasingly plays a role in road accidents.
Impaired driving hampers coordination and motor skills. Drivers may struggle with steering, braking, and maintaining a consistent speed. Also, impairment can compromise quick decision-making and make it difficult to respond promptly to unexpected situations.
Idaho’s weather can be as diverse as its landscapes, from sunny days to snowy winters. The ever-changing weather conditions pose challenges for drivers. For example, snowy roads can reduce traction, which may cause vehicles to leave the road and cause accidents. Also, fog affects visibility, which increases the likelihood of accidents such as rear-end crashes.
Identifying the causes of an accident is fundamental to determining liability and seeking compensation. An attorney can provide authoritative opinions on how specific factors contributed to the incident to strengthen your case. At our law firm, we understand how demonstrating that you exercised reasonable care and that your actions were not the main factor in causing the crash is important for a successful claim. If you have suffered an injury in Idaho due to negligence, don’t hesitate to seek help. Call us at 208-628-1101 to book a free case evaluation.
